RELEASED Cowboys have released cornerback Trevon Diggs

[MapleLeaf]

Jerry probably dropped Trevon to make cap room for Stephon.

This is interesting.

Is Gilmore ready to strap on the helmet?

Good

 

[Cowfan75Lives]

Good job, Jerry. Another brilliant investment.

According to Isaiah stanback diggs just did everything outside the team. No workouts or injury rehab. Then they pay him and he turns to crap and has an attitude about the defensive scheme he tried to freelance and cost us games and he got nosy about Micah salary and he didn’t even tackle I mean what did he provide us again ?

We need a poll, who amongst us doesn’t have an attitude about the defensive scheme?

 

[ShortRound]

My understanding of the Trevon Diggs situation is this: after the #Cowboys finished their Christmas game vs. the Commanders, Diggs requested with HC Brian Schottenheimer to stay in Washington for the holiday since he’s from the area and his family stays there. Players often ask for — and are usually granted — additional family time during the holidays if the schedule makes sense (Dallas played Thursday).

Schotty denied the request. Diggs again said he wanted to be with his family and that if he went back to Dallas, he’d just be flying right back on the first flight out, especially with players having several days off. The team vehemently denied his request again.And then today, the team released him. Diggs is healthy and ready to join a new team for the playoffs.


Good for Schotty.

We sorta like our guys?

 

[Chocolate Lab]

Good for Schotty.

[MapleLeaf]

Schotty denied the request.

This tells me the relationship was beyond repair.

 

[Vinnie2u]

This is a sad day.. No more Aaiden Diggs.

 

[IceStar-D7]

I hope Diggs gets picked up and gets a SB ring. Something Jerry hasn't sniffed in 30 years....

 

[BoyzBlaster]

I have no love for the guy, but it would be pretty funny if he got picked up by a playoff team that made a run.

 

[sacase]

This tells me the relationship was beyond repair.

There was definitely a lot more going on than just a request to stay in DC. There was some serious bad blood. Honestly I don't think he really cares about playing. It's just a paycheck.

Glad they just got it done, everyone knew it was coming. Rip the band-aid off.
We save a bit this year, Diggs will likely clear wavers and can join another team if he wishes.
I know it's not popular on here, and I am no Jerry fan (I've been as hard on him as anyone), but the way he has structured some of these deals should be commended.
Most of the money in the last 3 years of Diggs deal are non guaranteed, so it's fairly painless to cut him.
We save 12.5 on the cap next season.
We could have designated him a post June 1 cut and saved 15.5 next season but that would have spread the dead money over 2 years instead of just taking it all in 2026.
The Cowboys actually have several contracts structured in this way.
For example, Osa's deal has an easy out after next season, (Bland, Steele and Ferguson too). It's a smart way to structure contracts as it gives the team an out of the player is not performing to the deal (like Diggs).

Right cuz they could have easily just deactivated him for the final game

Definitely did him a favor, might of asked for his early release

If any other Cowboy player can get out. I'd advise them to. That's if you want to win. If not??? Enjoy mediocrity and your money.

 

[BoyzBlaster]

He was a playmaker at one time, and I appreciated that time he clowned Dak in training camp, but other than that he's been a big disappointment.

 

[Nova]

I have never been more right about not wanting to re-sign a guy.

Did absolutely nothing after getting paid.

Top 5 worst contracts we've given out.

 

[Chocolate Lab]

I thought someone said Slater was only a mouthpiece for Jerry and Stephen?

Here she is making every pathetic excuse for poor misunderstood sensitive Trevon.

 

[MyFairLady]

As usual it happens years later then it should have after all of the predictable and avoidable damage has already happened.
