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

Pay em all.

Leave nothing on the table for anyone else.

Heck, give Pollard a little bit too.

Then when it comes round to Prescott- he will probably want 50 million+ resulting in Stephen talking about the pie again. Except this time, hopefully there won't be enough to go round to him.

 

[gimmesix]

He will be the highest paid defensive player in NFL history when he signs his deal.

Anything less would be a surprise.

And our fans will say we should have traded him.

This is less pie for rising superstar Damone Clark to get paid. What a shame.

Clark?

I don’t see superstar in the cards.

 

[Bowdown27]

Clark?

I don’t see superstar in the cards.

It’s possible if he can play to his full potential. He can be all world but that’s any guy coming into the nfl.

Even if he becomes a stud. It’ll be years before they need to get him resigned.

We love paying guys who provide zero impact. Now we got a guy on defense getting big money who needs his teammates to do his job for him just like the guy on offense.

Just a complete waste of money.

A guy with 17 inceptions in three years has no impact?

Ideally, in a perfect world it’s how teams are structured and win Super Bowls (minus Brady and Mahomes). Rookie contract QB and stacked team

This is the hope.

Say you don't know football without saying you don't know football....

Considering there’s not a GM in the league who wouldn’t have been thrilled to sign him to this contract, I’d say you just did…. In two post now!

 

[GoldenR]

They just NEVER LEARN, it's comical.

He also thinks Carson Wentz is a franchise QB.

 

[TNCowboy]

Jerry and Stephen doing their usual. Overpaying for one of the least impactful positions.

 

[kskboys]

When have the Cowboys ever had a problem keeping a guy they wanted to keep?

That is not what it's about. It's about keeping who they want to keep AND forming a super bowl contender. You're looking at this backwards!!!!!!!!

 

[kskboys]

I can't believe some people criticize this move. Diggs is an elite corner. Sure he gets burned on occasion... but I don't remember it happening often last year. He more than makes up for it with his game changing plays. Also I think we were around 8th in passing yards given up, despite not really having a number 2 corner. Diggs is a big part of that.

He's 25 basically when the season begins, you're getting him in his prime the next 5 years. Great move.

He is not elite yet.

Diggs needs to learn to play more under control, play w/ more discipline. If he does, then he's worth a lot. If not, then he's overpaid.

 

[JayFord]

Waaaaaaa!!!!! he locked up jamarr chase and justin jefferson and is a top 5 corner in the nfl

lets complain about that one horrible missed tackle against Kittle in the playoffs

 

[JBS]

Are you crazy? This has to be a gag right?

You clearly have no idea what you are watching

 

[Swagger]

He's decent but it's an overpay.

People keep banging on about him not hitting Kittle...there's no guarantee he stops the first down even if he takes his head off. Over the years enough tight ends have been able to take the hit from a corner and finish the play. Probably Prescott fans trying to deflect from his clown show.

 

[Montanalo]

Absolutely brilliant news. Suck it, all you haters that didn’t want to extend him. Absolute dumb idea to let this guy walk or trade him

You're not a hater simply because you don't want to extend. The market data clearly indicated this would likely be a $20 million per year deal. I just worry this could be another of those market setting deals that don't pan out.

Jerry Jones reveals how he made a decision on the financials of Trevon Diggs new contract.

You're not a hater simply you because you don't want to extend. The market data clearly indicated this would likely be a $20 million per year deal. I just worry this could be another of those market setting deals that don't pan out.

The guy is an elite cornerback. He’s improving every single season. He plays a premium position. He’s 24. To say it’s dumb not to pay him would be putting it nicely.

Holy overreaction Batman

more reaction to Diggs' play last year. I know we had to sign him, just frustrated with his play
