Signed by Cowboys Trevon Diggs 5-Year, $97M Extension (Contract Details Post 416)

[Vtwin]

"It'll be a bargain in three years."

Remember that?

 

[817Gill]

So I went back and looked, what bad games did diggs have? Seriously asking because I don't remember. The only one I can think of was Jacksonville, and that was him and the entire defense. Against GB christian Watson went off but diggs didn't cover him on either of his 3 touchdowns (I looked).

The eagles game with minshew he gave up a deep ball. Maybe gave up one to mike Evans idk in one our our tb games.


We didn't allow many 100 yard receivers all season. Jamar chase and Justin Jefferson both held in check as well.

Diggs was a top 3 corner for most of the year. His play slipped a little when the injuries to other corners came as it seemed like he reverted back to taking more risks to makeup for the lack of help.

If he plays within the scheme without freelancing much, he’s a top 3-5 CB in the game.

What page of his new contract reads that "I must learn to not shy away from tackles" or I will forfeit all my bonus's?

 

[Parcells4Life]

Side effect: his brother isn’t happy in Buffalo. Maybe he tries to force his way here in the offseason.

42 million guaranteed

So, his APY and guarantee DON'T reset the market and ties him for 5th in APY w/ Marshon Lattimore and 6th in guaranteed $$$ - seems like a good deal to me.

 

[RandyOh]

not mad. Need to see full contract details tho

 

[Vtwin]

I'm good with this. He's never going to be a big hitter but I bet he learned something from the attention he got.

Seems like a win/win to me, too.

The issue is that his INT'S drooped from 11 to 3 with this risk taking, and the completion percentage against him jumped over 10%. This contract plays on his 2021 season, not his 2022 even if his coverage stats might be better

 

[Mac_MaloneV1]

I honestly can't believe that's what he signed for at this point, it's a very team-friendly deal.

 

[Fla Cowpoke]

I don't hate the deal, but I wouldn't have hated trading him for a #1 or high #2. He makes plays but gives plays up and refuses to tackle. All in all, not sure he even is a plus player.

 

[erod]

I don’t see how, unless he’s the type of player that completely shuts it down because he got paid. He’s a valuable piece to what the Cowboys are trying to build. It seems like every time we pay a real good player some says we’re going to regret it. You have to pay cornerstone
players if you want to build a championship team.

He gives up a lot of big plays.

It's not the coverage that concerns most folks it was the complete unwillingness to provide run support and tackling. Not just in the playoffs but for a good part of the season. It's part of the job description, whether he or some posters want to acknowledge that or not.

 

[Whirlwin]

This guy is an elite corner and he’s only getting better! Great news

Gilmore, he’s going to make this guy a superstar. I don’t think I need to explain it to you. I do need too explain to others.

 

[Whirlwin]

He gives up a lot of big plays.

Yes, but he makes them pay for it. The next play.

 

[Whirlwin]

Absolutely sickening. A total overpay on an irrelevant player.

I think he gets more of the blame for losing to San Fran , than Prescott. But usually makes up for it.

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

I hope he hires a tackling coach to teach him how to tackle with that money. I mean seriously, there should be a clause in his contract to make sure he has certain number of tackles as an incentive

 

[conner01]

better earley than late.

Need to see the guarantees

47 I believe

 

[erod]

Yes, but he makes them pay for it. The next play.

With all 3 of his interceptions last year?

 

[starfan1]

he shouldnt but Ill give him equal blame. Those 2 plays were just as huge as the picks
