Packers Release Trevon Diggs, Clearing More Than $15 Million in 2026 Cap Space

Green Bay moved on after a two-game look, enabled by the non‑guaranteed remainder of the former All‑Pro’s Cowboys contract.

Overview

  • Trevon Diggs was cut on Jan. 20 after fewer than four weeks with Green Bay, ending a stint that included two appearances and 34 total defensive snaps.
  • The move carries no dead-money charge and removes a 2026 obligation that included a $14.5 million base salary, producing just over $15 million in cap relief.
  • Dallas waived Diggs on Dec. 30 and the Packers claimed him the next day to bolster an injury-thinned cornerback group before the postseason.
  • Diggs’ availability and production have declined since a 2021 All‑Pro season, with a 2023 ACL tear followed by knee issues and a concussion limiting him over the past three years.
  • Following his release, Diggs is a free agent, and the Packers also signed defensive lineman Jaden Crumedy and quarterback Kyle McCord to reserve/future contracts.
