The Cowboys released former All-Pro cornerback Trevon Diggs on Tuesday. The 27-year-old’s play had fallen off over the past three seasons, with injuries playing a big part in that decline. Moving on from Diggs was expected, but the timing is surprising.
Dallas selected Diggs out of Alabama with the 51st pick in the 2020 NFL draft. He led the NFL with 11 interceptions in 2021 and earned first-team All-Pro honors. He was also a Pro Bowler in 2022, which led the Cowboys to hand him a five-year, $97 million contract extension in July 2023. Now he’s no longer on the team.
