Former Cowboys star roasted after lone embarrassing playoff snap

Trevon Diggs played in just one snap for the Packers in their playoff loss, and it didn't go very well for the former Cowboys defensive back.

Trevon Diggs and the Dallas Cowboys saw their relationship sour over the past two seasons. The front office had complaints about his rehab from his back-to-back season-ending surgeries, and Diggs seemed unhappy following the departure of defensive backs coach Al Harris and teammate Micah Parsons.

Eventually, Diggs was released by the Cowboys, allowing him to sign with a team for the postseason. He wound up with the Green Bay Packers, where he was reunited with Parsons. While Parsons tore his ACL and missed the playoffs, Diggs was able to get on the field.

Unfortunately for the veteran defensive back, Diggs had just one snap. On that snap, he wasn't able to make an impact. Instead, he was bowled over by Chicago Bears wide receiver D.J. Moore, who was blocking on a screen pass.

Naturally, Dallas fans who didn't appreciate Diggs' performance this season, roasted him on social media.

Ironically enough, Diggs was credited with an assisted tackle on the play. That seems generous considering he was the one falling backward.

The Packers claimed Diggs on waivers after the Cowboys released him, meaning he's under contract through the 2028 season. He's also carrying a massive cap hit in each season.

Diggs enters 2026 with a cap hit of just over $15 million. His salary goes up to $20.5 million in 2027 followed by $21 million in 2028. That's a lot to pay for a player who has been struggling to find his footing since suffering an injury ahead of Week 3 during the 2023 season.

Since he was already released by Dallas, the Packers don't have to worry about his guaranteed money. That means they can cut him and save his entire salary, without incurring any dead cap hit. Unless Diggs is willing to take a paycut, that could put his future in Green Bay in doubt.
