Cowboys cornerback Trevon Diggs lost $500,000 of his salary this offseason because he missed the team's OTAs in Dallas. Instead, Diggs chose to recover from a knee surgery in Miami, which prompted the Cowboys to utilize the base-salary de-escalator clause in Diggs's contract that requires him to participate in 84.375% of the offseason program.
Diggs admitted during training camp in Dallas last week that he was "upset" he lost the money because he was still putting work in while in Miami even if he wasn't physically with his teammates. That argument didn't seem to matter much when it came to the Cowboys' executives.
