RELEASED Cowboys have released cornerback Trevon Diggs

[TheMarathonContinues]

Even when he was "good" he was awful.

Ok that’s a bit much.

 

[CowboyFrog]

Dude has had two major knee injuries and has played like trash since his first. I wouldn't even be surprised if no one signs him during the offseason

the big note was his physical would've stopped any trade, his knee is not right.

 

[leicafan]

The defensive coordinator should’ve been gone first

This. He failed so many players on the team.

 

[CowboyFrog]

Diggs was going to the media trying to get on the field and im pretty sure the Cowboys DR's were saying his knee is not right... no sense in seeing him get hurt in this weeks meaningless game and being on the hook for it... they said fine we will release you and if you can sucker another team into letting you play then so be it..

Step one of off season, believe it saves $12.6M in 2026 cap.

We have pie!

 

[Stash]

I have to think that this situation got really ugly behind the scenes. And that at one point, Diggs must have treated the team with some sort of an injury lawsuit.

That’s why they made sure to wait until he was healthy enough to practice, then healthy enough to play, and then they immediately cut him.

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

This is just the final domino dropping in a push/trigger that started weeks if not, months ago.

This was possibly a case where weeks ago the secondary coaches Overstreet and Thompson were telling Eberflus we can't work with this guy anymore and he is a distraction in the room.

Matt went to have a chat with Brian, and Brian walked up to the front office. We are seeing the effects of a thought process now from the front office as they had to make sure there was no negative effects like an injury settlement, but waited to see how the cards played out in the season.

The die was struck on this decision probably weeks ago when a bunch of coaches couldn't stand it anymore. Especially during the period where they were hit by injuries, and Diggs was not reliable on the field, and possibly the lockerroom.

 

[Praxit]

To bad, It wasnt eberjoke.
as for diggs,... injuries took a toll.

 

[MapleLeaf]

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

There are so many talent problems in the NFL someone is going to roll the dice and pick him up. More than likely as a FA for cheap.

 

[rambo2]

Yeah, Mingo and Lance were really questionable moves and that’s putting it kindly.

Lance is playing this week .

 

[Hawkeye0202]

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.

I think my primary problem is I don’t have an issue with this in a vacuum, I think it’s just in reality we have an awful player playing in an awful scheme and as of now only one is being reprimanded for it. Whatever. We’ll see Monday whether they’re actually serious about improving the defense or not if Eberflus is still employed. This is just the lowest hanging fruit to say they “did something”

 

[StarBoyz83]

Cb 1st round pick confirmed

 

[FVSTONE]

THERE IS A GOD!!!!!!

 

[MapleLeaf]

No, Diggs is also a failure. He's not guilt free. He took his money, refused to rehab properly and quit on his team. Of course the FO made a mistake extending him, but he owns plenty of fault.

I have a different take on this.

Everyone has stripes and spots. They are what they are.

If you made a bad purchase that isn't something you blame on the seller. No matter how upset you are it is always a buyer beware world.

 

[SteveTheCowboy]

Watch the Eagles pick him up

He'll play for them the opposite of how he played for us...for a season or so. Until he gets mad again.

 

[MapleLeaf]

Now watch, GB gets him, he then plays like the diggs of old. Which would solidify my theory...

...that Diggs only cares about Diggs.

Buyer beware.

We have pie!

that was a good one rambo. Very good.

i think its for sure along those lines, he is going to the media trying to get on the field and im pretty sure the Cowboys DR were saying "That knee aint right"... they were like fine we will cut you and you can collect injury pay from some other sucker..

P. T. Barnum knew this well.
