RELEASED Cowboys have released cornerback Trevon Diggs

[vlad]

It's not good he can end up on a playoff team that's kind of a bonus he's getting rewarded for his bad play and I don't like it whether he plays good for someone else or not I can see this guy right now getting picked up by the Eagles if he clears waivers enough to get there they need help on the back end they would do like nothing else but to put him on their playoff roster.. Is a very Howie thing to do it's a very reason I would leave him and then release him on Monday after the game I'd make him play..

LOL it would be so Cowboys he goes to the packers actually plays well and messes up our pick .

I get all that. But to send a message they could have cut Diggs months ago, not days before an anticlimactic season finale.

My guess is he could have claimed he was injured which would have required an injury settlement, so they had to wait until he returned and likely played a game to release him to avoid that.

Couldn't wait until the offseason to trade him for a 4th round pick at least?

Crazy

He’s worth nothing. His knee is shot. He can’t play football anymore.

I haven’t heard anything in New England. But I’ll take your word for it.

Yeah guess it happened earlier this month but news came out today. It's on twitter. (don't mean to post in the wrong thread)

Glad that we are going to play another player. It does sound like they are going to play some backups.

Sounds like a rough day for the Diggs gentlemen. I posted about his brother in NFL Zone

Strangulation charges seem wild. I’m getting vibes of the Wayne Brady skit from the Chappelle show

It's true. That news just broke about an hour or so ago.

 

[JohnsKey19]

They actually did him a favor by releasing now. And that's odd...

Yes, but if someone picks them up, they take his salary, right

Only if they place a waiver claim on him. Otherwise he's free to negotiate with anyone.

 

[Tabascocat]

Watch him go to a playoff team and lite it up!

 

[Yobwocs]

My predictions came true. Clearing room for Crosby. Look on the first page of Crosby vs Pickens thread.

So does this act as a very late June 1st cut?

So ~6mil dead next year, for net savings of 12mil?

Wow it looks like they own about $9 million over the next two seasons in dead cap, so they usually get to split that over two years if he was designated a June 1st cut but I don't know how that works if they don't it does save us money His salary those next two years were not guaranteed but they were like 18M, 23M , and 21 over the next 3 years..

So I'm assuming it's the 9 million split over two years or next year they just eat the 9 million either way it's saving them in overall salary close to $60 million over three years.

stuff can be confusing but that's what it says..

Embarrassing. Couldn't even get a pick for the bum. Jerry with a typical L

Who would take him on? If he got hurt this Sunday, we were screwed

 

[Cowboys93]

I have 0 problem moving on from Diggs. He’s been subpar since he’s been paid. I do personally hate how this team runs this campaign on throwing shade on a player publicly to the point where you sour their worth. Is there any difference of holding on to him one more game and then looking what you can get for him in the offseason? Just another case of blaming someone else for failure instead of the GM/owner/messiah

 

[G2]

Watch a playoff caliber team pick him up and he miraculously starts tackling.

Stefon Diggs, doing pretty good in New England

Check nfl news… Stephon also in big trouble

Somebody could gamble on him returning to 2021-22 form for atleast a 5th rounder.

 

[Vinnie2u]

Some of y'all actually think that Dallas could have gotten something for him in a trade. Al Davis is not around.
