Trevon Diggs Development Proves Cowboys Made Right Call to End Season

The Dallas Cowboys decided to cut ties with former All-Pro cornerback Trevon Diggs ahead of the final week of the 2025-26 NFL regular season. Diggs quickly reunited with his good friend Micah Parsons on the Green Bay Packers.

However, Diggs failed to make an impact in his brief stint in Green Bay.

During the team's Wild Card round loss to the Chicago Bears in the postseason, Diggs played in just one snap. Now that the team has been eliminated from the playoffs, Diggs has been released.

Diggs was briefly benched earlier this season, with the Cowboys' coaching staff suggesting it was injury-related, while Diggs believed it was a message for his inconsistent play to start the year.

He then missed time with the mystery concussion suffered during an "accident" at his home. There has been very little information about the incident, other than Diggs saying, "It happens, it's life. Things happen."

Diggs played in just 21 of the Cowboys' 53 games since signing his five-year, $97 million extension with the team, recording two interceptions. In Green Bay, the former All-Pro recorded just two tackles before being shown the door.
