The Dallas Cowboys on Tuesday released two-time Pro Bowl selection Trevon Diggs just two years after signing him to a $97 million extension. And while the relationship between Diggs and the Cowboys began to fracture after the ink dried on the lucrative contract extension, multiple reports of a new issue that may have pushed an already-tenuous situation to the point of no return emerged shortly after news of his release.
Diggs, according to NFL insider Jordan Schultz and Clarence Hill Jr. of All City DLLS Cowboys, requested to remain in Washington D.C. after the conclusion of Dallas's 30-23 Christmas Day win over the Commanders, given that he has family who resides in the area. But Diggs's request was denied, for it was the Cowboys' desire that he fly back with the team to Dallas and then go to D.C. on his own. So, instead of flying back to Dallas with the team, the Cowboys star ultimately decided to remain in the D.C. area, where he spent time with family and also attended a Shy Glizzy concert the day after Christmas, as confirmed by Jane Slater of NFL Network.
