Packers Cut Former Cowboys Cornerback Trevon Diggs
In a surprising move, the Green Bay Packers have cut former Dallas Cowboys cornerback Trevon Diggs less than a month after claiming him off waivers. The announcement was made on Tuesday following Diggs’ brief tenure with the team, during which he participated in two games.
Background on Trevon Diggs
Trevon Diggs, a second-round pick from Alabama in the 2020 NFL Draft, previously enjoyed a successful career with the Dallas Cowboys. However, his stint in Dallas became tumultuous, culminating in the team waiving him on December 30, 2025.
Reasons for Release
Diggs faced a series of challenges during the 2025 season. Reports indicate that his release was due to a combination of performance issues and off-the-field violations. Notably, he frequently violated team rules regarding meetings and rehab sessions.
- Inconsistent performance on the field.
- Repeated rule violations, including missing critical meetings.
- Behavioral issues, such as not traveling back with the team after a game.
Performance Summary
During his final season with the Cowboys, Diggs played in only eight games. He struggled with injuries, missing two months due to knee problems and a concussion. The Cowboys had to deduct $500,000 from his base salary because of inadequate participation in required rehabilitation with the team’s staff. Despite his talent, he finished the season without any interceptions or pass breakups.
Contract Details
In 2023, Diggs signed a lucrative five-year extension worth $97 million. However, after that deal, he managed to play just 21 games and recorded three interceptions before his release.
Impact on the Packers
Diggs’ brief time with the Packers culminated in their season-ending wild card loss to the Chicago Bears on January 10, 2026. His release adds to the uncertainty surrounding the Packers’ secondary as they navigate their roster for the upcoming season.
