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

Lol what? Martin will get his money.

He was paid he highest at his position when he signed his deal in 2018

Yeah, that was a really bad post. Lacking any sort of info or data. Just spew.

 

[kskboys]

so the guy who sweats Cowboy blue waits while the guy who cries if he breaks a sweat does?

You guys are incredibly silly. Martin has already been paid. Look it up.

 

[khiladi]

Probably owes Micah about half of it.

I actually love it, I'll let Stephen deal with the contracts and salary cap situation. But to have a near lock down corner, and you can move corners in and out on the other side. This is how you do it. Lock up your main guy, and rotate the other guys.

 

[kskboys]

Did prime no show in the playoffs? I don't have memories of prime getting burned either.

Irvin torched him for 12 catches in the 94 champ game.

60% of the CZers will agree with the contract, 40% don't like it.

NOT MY MONEY - I don't care.

 

[kskboys]

And some of you hot air balloon heads were wondering what we were going to to w/ the extra cap money from last season!!!!!

 

[TequilaCowboy]

Wow, can't wait to see what Micah will want after seeing this. He is gonna make this seem like pocket money for a Las Vegas weekend . I know you all will say this has nothing to do with MP, but it just shows you that if that is what they think of Diggs, imagine the Micah Parsons Project. Jerry will have to work overtime in his basement printing money.

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.

Well, since this isn't about money, your post makes no sense. This is strictly about fitting players under the salary cap. And if you are a Cowboys fan, then it is your salary cap. It's everyone's.

Irvin torched him for 12 catches in the 94 champ game.

Irvin also beat him for what should have been a pass interference call that game.

 

[Denim Chicken]

You mean when the pass rush disappeared?

Dallas has the highest pass rush win rate in the league last year. If the pass rush declined in tandem with Brown's exit it was still mush higher than league average and didn't seem to affect Diggs (who had zero pass TDs allowed from week 13 through the playoffs).

 

[shabazz]

He still won’t tackle.

Now that he’s gotten paid he REALLY ain’t be tackling anybody over 170 pounds

he would gotten the same contract from another team so in this case Jerry wasn’t bidding against himself like he usually does.

 

[khiladi]

I think one can argue without much resistance it’s really the pressure up front that is the main driver of TOs. Dallas was generally getting pressure by stunts, without having to rush more than 4.

[shabazz]

Dude wasn’t even a top 10 CB on Madden.

That’s what prompted Zack Martins holdout….getting a 99 on Madden

oh, the humanity

 

[khiladi]

Irvin torched him for 12 catches in the 94 champ game.

And was robbed of a clear PI by Deion that probably would have cemented that game as the greatest comeback in NFL history…

 

[Clove]

I'd love my Corner to tackle, but I don't care about that unless he's the last line of defense. I'm much more interested in him shutting down top receivers. But that's just me.

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

 

[Carson]

so the guy who sweats Cowboy blue waits while the guy who cries if he breaks a sweat does?

This is how things go. Martin was already under contract after this year. Diggs only goes up

Martin will be paid here in a few days. He’s likely chillen back home with the wife and kids.
