Trevon Diggs Free to Sign After Clearing Waivers
Cornerback Trevon Diggs has officially cleared waivers and is now an unrestricted free agent. This shift comes after the Green Bay Packers waived him following a 21-day period with the team.
Trevon Diggs’ Tenure with the Packers
Before joining the Packers, Diggs was claimed off waivers from the Dallas Cowboys on December 31. With Green Bay, he participated in the final regular-season game against the Minnesota Vikings, contributing 33 defensive snaps. However, in their playoff game against the Chicago Bears, he was only on the field for a single snap.
Financial Impact of the Waiver
The Packers invested $472,000 in base salary for Diggs for Week 18, along with an additional $58,823 due to his active status. By releasing Diggs, the team reduced their salary cap by slightly over $15 million. Despite having three years remaining on his contract, this move was deemed necessary.
Career Highlights
- 2021: First-team All-Pro, led the league with 11 interceptions, totaling 142 yards and two touchdowns.
- 2022: Selected for his second Pro Bowl, recorded three interceptions.
- Post-2023: Limited to just 22 games, primarily due to knee injuries, with only three interceptions in three seasons.
With the recent waiver clearance, Trevon Diggs is now available for any NFL team to sign. His track record suggests he could be a valuable asset, given his previous accolades and performance highlights. As a free agent, his next move is highly anticipated within the football community.
