The Dallas Cowboys will enter the 2025 NFL season with the usual spotlight of attention shining on the franchise, this time because rookie head coach Brian Schottenheimer was given the keys to the organization this offseason. With training camp merely days away, it would seem the team decided to make a statement in regard to one of its star defenders.
On Thursday, Cowboys reporter Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reported team officials will reduce Trevon Diggs's salary by $500,000 for the upcoming season; the All-Pro corner was slated to make $9 million in base salary in 2025 and will now make $8.5 million. Why did Dallas decide to knock off a half million dollars from the salary of one of its top players? Diggs failed to meet an offseason workout clause in his contract. This possibility was raised in June when Diggs was notably absent from several rounds of offseason activity at The Star.
