Overview
- Dallas placed the two-time Pro Bowl cornerback on waivers Tuesday, and he becomes a free agent if he is not claimed.
- A claiming team would owe $472,000 in Week 18 base pay plus $58,823 if he is active, according to ESPN reporting.
- Team sources described the move as a culmination of factors that included performance, health and participation issues.
- Diggs told NFL Network’s Jane Slater he is healthy and motivated to join a team preparing for the postseason.
- The 2021 All-Pro has missed significant time with knee injuries and a concussion since 2023 and recorded no interceptions this season as coverage grades slid; his deal carried no guarantees beyond 2025 and included a $500,000 workout de-escalator enforced by Dallas.
