NFL free agency: Lions lose depth defender to Cowboys
The Detroit Lions have lost another defender to free agency: EDGE Tyrus Wheat.
Yet another Detroit Lions defender is leaving via free agency. As first reported by CBS Sports’ Matt Zenitz, Lions defensive end Tyrus Wheat is signing a one-year deal with the Dallas Cowboys. Per Aaron Wilson, it’s a one-year deal worth $1,755,000.
Wheat will rejoin the Cowboys—where his NFL career started in 2023 after going undrafted—following just a single season with Detroit. The Lions claimed Wheat off of waivers after the 26-year-old defensive lineman failed to make the Cowboys’ 53-man roster. Wheat would go on to to play in 15 games with the Lions as a rotational edge player. He played a total of just 66 defensive snaps, earned 15 tackles, one tackle for loss and 1.5 sacks over that time. With that limited playing time, PFF gave him an 82.3 overall grade, mostly bolstred by a strong game against the Buccaneers (1.5 sacks on just nine snaps).
