Diggs in danger of losing 500k for not participating in offseason program

[Risen Star]

FRISCO, Texas -- Dallas Cowboys cornerback Trevon Diggs is in danger of missing out on $500,000 from his 2025 base salary for not participating in the team's offseason program.

Diggs has opted to rehab his surgically repaired left knee in Miami and away from The Star. He was not in attendance for the first two phases of the offseason program, and he has not taken part in the organized team activities over the past three weeks.

According to his contract, Diggs needs to take part in 84.375% of the offseason program in order to avoid the $500,000 de-escalator.

While the offseason program is voluntary, for years the Cowboys have had base-salary de-escalator clauses written into their large contracts that have been given out, including for quarterback Dak Prescott, wide receiver CeeDee Lamb and defensive tackle Osa Odighizuwa, that all but guarantees a player's participation.

Diggs is believed to be the first player who could see a lowering of his base salary if the Cowboys choose to enforce the clause.

Even though Diggs is rehabilitating from surgery, the contract states a player, "must rehabilitate such injury as required by and under the supervision of the Club's Head Trainer until such time as full participation in the 'Off-Season Program' can be achieved. Supervised rehabilitation by Player with Club's Head Trainer will count towards Player's 84.375% completion requirement."

I think Diggs is very unhappy with the.rehab personnel here and might have been one of the ones who ripped them on a survey.

I'm starting to get the impression he doesn't give two flocks if he stays in Dallas or not.

while not quite chump change, it is not a significant amount to Diggs

It wouldn't be a surprise if Diggs doesn't even know this.

Tell that to his landlord that he couldn't pay.

 

[RS12]

Horrible contract, over rated player.

 

[AmericasTeam81]

I haven’t liked him since he was too scared to hit Kittle in the playoff game.

I think he's likely to lose a step soon, which won't be good for him.

 

[stilltheguru]

That's yall boy.

 

[Teague31]

Cut him. Sooner rather than later.

 

[pitt33]

probably on his last contract in Big D

 

[Risen Star]

Broaddus thinks he'd already be gone if he was healthy.

 

[nightrain]

I don't believe Diggs will play another snap for Dallas.

 

[Rayman70]

I don't believe Diggs will play another snap for Dallas.

Cut this guy already . Soon as he's healthy

 

[StarBoyz83]

I don't believe Diggs will play another snap for Dallas.

That'd be a ton of wasted money for the next 3 years lol

He doesn’t play much so he should be doing all he can to keep his starting position whenever he does come back. This is a make or break year for him as far as being in Dallas I would suspect.

Wait. I thought there were no consequences and it was all paint ball.
