Cowboys Waive Trevon Diggs Ahead of Week 18

Dallas portrays the cut as the product of a long-running evaluation rather than a single incident.

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.
