Cowboys release veteran wide receiver after George Pickens trade

The Dallas Cowboys were busy revamping the wide receiver room this week, including parting ways with a veteran wide receiver. Following the trade for Pittsburgh Steelers star George Pickens, the Cowboys needed to make an additional roster move.

To make room for Pickens, the Cowboys released receiver Seth Williams, who was selected in the sixth round of the 2021 NFL Draft by the Denver Broncos.

Williams signed to the Cowboys’ practice squad during the 2024 season and signed a reserve/future contract with the team on January 6, 2025.
