Cowboys Waive Trevon Diggs Before Week 18, Ending Six-Year Run in Dallas

Team officials pointed to prolonged health issues, practice concerns, declining form.

Overview

  • Trevon Diggs was waived Tuesday and enters the NFL’s 24-hour waiver process; if unclaimed, he becomes a free agent.
  • Any club claiming him this week would owe a reported $472,000 in base pay plus about $58,823 if he is active for the finale.
  • Diggs told NFL Network he is healthy, will miss his time in Dallas, and hopes to join a postseason team.
  • Reporting from NFL Network and the AP says the decision reflected multiple factors over time rather than a single incident, including performance and availability.
  • The 2021 All-Pro signed a five-year, $97 million extension in 2023 but has battled a 2023 ACL tear, knee issues and a 2025 concussion, with no guaranteed money remaining beyond this season.
