Cowboys Waive Cornerback Trevon Diggs With One Game Left in Season

League insiders describe the move as a culmination of performance issues, availability questions, lingering injuries.

Overview

  • The two-time Pro Bowler and 2021 All-Pro enters the 24-hour waiver wire and becomes a free agent if unclaimed.
  • A claiming team would owe about $472,000 in Week 18 salary plus roughly $58,823 if he is active, according to reports.
  • Diggs appeared in eight games this season after a concussion from an at-home incident and knee problems, and analytics show a perfect passer rating allowed when targeted.
  • He signed a five-year, $97 million extension in 2023 with no guarantees beyond this season, leaving Dallas with 2025 dead money and projected 2026 cap savings of about $12.5 million.
  • Diggs told NFL Network he feels healthy and wants a postseason opportunity, while Dallas, already eliminated, turns to roster evaluation in the secondary.
