Packers Claim Former All-Pro CB Trevon Diggs Off Waivers

Green Bay assumes only a short-term salary hit to bolster a thin secondary.

Overview

  • Dallas waived Diggs on Dec. 30, with head coach Brian Schottenheimer saying the decision reflected multiple factors rather than a single incident.
  • By claiming him, the Packers owe roughly $472,000 for Week 18 plus $58,823 if he is active, with no guaranteed money beyond this season.
  • The move provides Dallas meaningful 2026 cap relief, with reports pegging the savings at about $14.5 million.
  • Diggs has logged limited action the past three seasons due to an ACL tear, additional knee issues and a concussion from an at-home accident, though he has said he is healthy and motivated.
  • Green Bay adds depth to an injury-hit secondary ahead of the playoffs, reuniting Diggs with former Cowboys teammate Micah Parsons.
