Overview
- Released after the trade deadline, the 32-year-old safety is subject to waivers and would become a free agent if unclaimed.
- The move followed Tennessee’s waiver claim of former Seahawks safety Jerrick Reed II earlier in the week.
- With Diggs gone, the safety group features Xavier Woods, Amani Hooker, rookie Kevin Winston Jr., Kendell Brooks and Reed.
- Team reporters tie the decision to a broader defensive reset that has included trading Roger McCreary and Dre'Mont Jones for draft picks.
- A three-time Pro Bowler who appeared in nine games (four starts) this season with 30 tackles, Diggs could draw interest from familiar teams such as Seattle or Detroit if he clears waivers, according to multiple reports.
