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

[McKDaddy]

Yet you are still here posting on the COWBOYSZONE FORUM

I like to point out stupidity .... wherever I may find it.

 

[Nav22]

But you can't make those decisions in the playoffs, in tight games.

True. There's a time and a place.

 

[817Gill]

Let’s go!

 

[Motorola]

NOT MY MONEY - I don't care.

Fans lament season upon season of not having top-notch players to form a team capable of winning a championship...yet they pitch a fit about having to pay them to keep the roster intact.

 

[817Gill]

But Dak was a top 10 QB lol. I bet he doesn’t agree with Madden there

 

[Nav22]

You will never convince me a cb afraid to hit and tackle should br paid anywhere close to 20 mil

You sound like the basketball fans who complain about Steph Curry's defense.

Overall impact is what matters.

Deion did okay without being a big hitter/tackler.

 

[KJJ]

They're going to regret this one.

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.

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

yes he has been, but someone like me who watched Diggs play scared last year I pay Zach what he deserves in the market before I pay Diggs what he doesn't. Not sure why we accepted his level of compete and just rewarded it? Zach is a hall of famer, are we having this same discussion about Diggs in 5 years? I'm not remotely convinced. When Zach comes back, whether or not he gets paid his level of play will be the same it has been his entire career. Diggs chose to not compete for his team last year, instead he competed for his next winfall.

 

[Redsfan_83]

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.

you have inside info suggesting he will be paid?

 

[Playmaker3128]

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.

 

[jazzcat22]

I wonder if he’ll actually try to tackling guys now?

Only if they didn’t put in the Deion Clause.

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

Fantastic! Now get Martin and CeeDee done. Then get a RB and some depth at Oline and let's go!!!

 

[darthseinfeld]

42 million guaranteed

 

[RS12]

Let's hope that cap keeps rising. A good player paid as elite.

 

[rambo2]

Hopefully, he pays his rent this year.

 

[Flamma]

I'm interested in what his cap hit for 2023 will be. I'm wondering if they move any of his base salary forward. Because his bonus money will be around 4M alone for 2023.

 

[KJJ]

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

He played for some great teams in the playoffs. Two of those teams won Super Bowls. As for Deion getting burned, Isaac Bruce toasted him once. That’s not the only time he got burned. It happens to all of them when you take a lot of chances

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

Awesome!! Lamb next

Yup, and Martin needs to get done. Then, I want to see us work out some oline and RB prospects from the USFL.

 

[lwehlers]

need to get lamb signed now. i hope there is an out clause in the contract in the middle of the deal because i think by the middle of of the contract diggs will be even more overpaid.

 

[ESisback]

There would be detractors for ANY big extension.
