The Dallas Cowboys reportedly released All-Pro cornerback Trevon Diggs on Tuesday.
Diggs, 27, looked like he wanted to play a big role in the Cowboys secondary just a few years ago. In 2021, Diggs led the league with 11 interceptions and was named first-team All-Pro.
The following season, Diggs was named to the Pro Bowl for the second straight season after throwing three interceptions. Diggs signed a five-year, $97 million contract extension at the start of training camp in 2023.

However, Diggs hasn’t been on the field as much after signing the contract. In 2021 and 2022, he played in 16 and 17 games, respectively, while in 2023, he only played in two games despite tearing his ACL during practice in September.
Diggs played in 11 games in 2024, but was unable to return to form and was ultimately placed on injured reserve to undergo another procedure on his surgically repaired knee.

In 2025, Diggs played in eight games while spending time on IR with a knee injury – the same knee that had been surgically repaired – and with a concussion. The concussion stemmed from an accident he suffered at home.
In eight games in 2025, Diggs has recorded 25 combined tackles with no interceptions. In 66 career games, all with the Cowboys, the former Alabama cornerback has 20 interceptions, 63 passes defensed, two forced fumbles and 240 combined tackles.

Diggs will be on waivers after being released, and if a team were to claim him, they would owe $472,000 toward his base salary, plus an additional $58,823 if he becomes active. There is no guaranteed money in his contract beyond this season.
The Cowboys, who are 7-8-1 and eliminated from the playoffs, will be without Diggs for their Week 18 game against the New York Giants (3-13) on Sunday at 1 p.m. ET.
