Trevon Diggs makes interesting agent decision after Cowboys release

The Dallas Cowboys made major headlines on Tuesday as they prepare to close out the regular season.

Ahead of Week 18's matchup against the New York Giants, the Cowboys released cornerback Trevon Diggs after six seasons with the team.

Diggs, a two-time Pro Bowler, has $531,045 left on his deal in 2025, but his release will account for a dead cap hit of $12 million.

If he clears waivers, Diggs will be able to sign with a team of his choosing. But before figuring out where his new home will be, the now-former Cowboy has made an interesting business decision.

According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, Diggs has hired David Mulugheta of Athletes First as his new agent, a move that will certainly grab the attention of Cowboy fans.

Mulugheta also represents former Cowboys star and current Green Bay Packers edge rusher Micah Parsons, who Dallas traded prior to the season. Cowboys owner Jerry Jones infamously chose not to meet with Mulugheta during contract negotiations with Parsons, leading to a dramatic feud between Parsons and the Dallas front office that led to the trade.

Diggs and Parsons have both been public about their tight friendship, and this latest move to hire Mulugheta could potentially signal Diggs' interest in heading to Green Bay.

Parsons suffered a torn ACL in Week 15's loss to the Denver Broncos and is out for the rest of the season, but he and Diggs could take the field together once again next year if Green Bay decides to claim the cornerback off waivers or sign him in free agency.

Time will tell where Diggs ends up, but it's certainly possible that Green Bay is one of his preferred destinations.
