The Dallas Cowboys reduced cornerback Trevon Diggs's contract by $500,000 for the upcoming season after Diggs failed to meet a clause in his contract that required him to complete 84% of the offseason program at the team's facilities.

Diggs, who missed the end of the 2024 season to undergo knee surgery, has done much of his rehab work away from the facility and the team's medical staff. He was in attendance for mandatory minicamp, but did not meet the requirement of his contract, which will cause his base salary to drop from $9 million to $8.5 million this year.
