Diggs is a very good CB. The hate he gets here has always struck me as odd. He's not a great tackler, never has been, never was on college. He's not the only good CB in this league that has the same issues.

I have zero issues with him although I can also be behind anyone who says paying that much money for a CB, any CB, might not be the best use of cap resources.
It's not that he's a bad tackler, it's that there has been several moments this year where he has shied away from even making contact. Football is a contact sport. You absolutely have to tackle sometimes. If you don't want to do it, give back the money, and get out of the sport.

But it's really not that unique to CBs, even some really good ones. When you sign some of these elite guys, sometimes you gotta take the fact they aren't going to throw their bodies into guys with the good things they do.

There are 31 teams that would love to have Diggs on their team. He can be a complete difference maker and change a game by himself. The fact he doesn't play physically is annoying, sure, but I can live with that given the fact he does what's most important for a CB, pretty well.

I'm by no means saying cut/trade him. He is an elite CB and those are hard to come by. But guys like Jenkins were ran out of town due to a reluctance to make contact

The top five guys all have very good defenses around them with good pass rush and strong run defense. That helps any cb
