Former Crimson Tide Defensive Back Released Ahead of NFL Playoffs: Roll Call

Former Alabama and two-time NFL Pro Bowler Trevon Diggs was released by the Dallas Cowboys on Tuesday. The former second round draft pick signed a five-year $97 million contract ahead of the 2023 season, but was released today after inconsistent play and injuries.

Diggs was an All-Pro and led the NFL in interceptions in 2021 with 11, returning two for touchdowns. He hauled in 20 interceptions over his five year career along with 240 tackles and a sack. Diggs earned First Team All-SEC and was a Third Team All-American in 2019 for the Crimson Tide.

He will be free to sign with any team as a free agent should he clear waivers. According to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network a potential claiming team would be responsible for his remaining $472,222 guaranteed game check this season. That makes it likely he clears waivers and then will become a free agent.

After the Cowboys waived CB Trevon Diggs today, he hired David Mulugheta of Athletes First to represent him.

On This Day in Crimson Tide History:

December 31, 1973: In a colossal matchup of undefeated and top-ranked Alabama and unbeaten and No. 3 Notre Dame, the Crimson Tide fell 24-23 in the Sugar Bowl. A late fourth-quarter pass out of the end zone from Irish quarterback Tom Clements to reserve tight end Robin Weber got Notre Dame out of a hole and saved the night for the Irish.

December 31, 1975: In the first Sugar Bowl ever played in the Superdome, Alabama behind MVP Richard Todd edged Joe Paterno's Penn State Nittany Lions, 13-6.

December 31, 2015: After getting bounced in the semifinals of the inaugural College Football Playoff the year before, a better-prepared and more focused Crimson Tide team crushed Michigan State, 38-0. It was the largest shutout in Cotton Bowl history. Jake Coker was 25-for-30 for a career-best 286 yards, with two touchdown passes to Calvin Ridley.
