Packers Claim Trevon Diggs Off Waivers After Cowboys Cut Cornerback

Dallas cut the former All-Pro a day earlier after months of performance concerns, health questions, internal friction.

Overview

  • ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported Green Bay claimed Diggs on Wednesday, a day after Dallas placed him on waivers.
  • Any team claiming him assumes $472,000 in Week 18 base pay and $58,823 if he is active, with no guaranteed money beyond this season.
  • The Cowboys had signed Diggs to a five-year, $97 million extension in 2023 but he appeared in just 21 games over the last three seasons.
  • This season included a concussion from an at-home incident, right knee issues, a disputed mid-December return-to-play assessment, and a brief benching.
  • Dallas’ move creates reported 2026 cap relief of roughly $14.5 million and leaves the club reshuffling cornerback depth entering the offseason.
