Cowboys Add OL Sebastian Gutierrez, Waive LB Charles Snowden

Dallas made a quiet swap at the bottom of the depth chart, announcing the signing of offensive lineman Sebastian Gutierrez to the active roster. To clear the spot, the Cowboys waived defensive end Charles Snowden with an injury designation.

Gutierrez isn't a household name for a reason. The Patriots released him last month, and before that he'd bounced through the Browns' 2025 preseason and New England's practice squad during the regular season. Since arriving as an undrafted free agent in 2022, he's logged exactly two regular-season appearances. This is a depth flier, not a starter play.

On the other side of the move, Snowden's Dallas stint appears to be winding down. If he clears waivers, he'll revert to injured reserve. He'd already had a rough start to the year, sitting out the first three games after a suspension for a Personal Conduct Policy violation.

The Fantasy Fallout

Let's be honest about what this is: a paperwork transaction. Gutierrez is a rotational lineman with a grand total of two career games, and offensive linemen don't put up fantasy points in the first place. There's nothing here to add, and nothing to chase in redraft or dynasty leagues.

Snowden was never a fantasy factor in standard formats either, and an IR designation only cements that. Even in the deepest IDP leagues, a waived edge rusher heading to injured reserve is a straight drop if he was somehow still on your roster.

The actionable takeaway is short. Ignore Gutierrez unless he shockingly climbs into a starting role — a WATCH at most for the truly obsessive. Everyone else can scroll right past this one and get back to their skill-position decisions.
