Cowboys Cut Ties With Trevon Diggs as Uncertain Future Looms
So here’s the situation unfolding right now around Trevon Diggs, and it’s a move that definitely raised eyebrows across the league. The Dallas Cowboys have officially waived the veteran cornerback, meaning Diggs won’t be suiting up for them in Week 18 and, quite possibly, may never wear a Cowboys jersey again. This decision came quietly but carries some serious financial and football implications.
As it stands, Diggs can be claimed by another team on waivers. However, it’s not exactly a simple pickup. Any team that puts in a claim would be required to pay him a little over $472,000 for the final week of the season. More importantly, they would also be inheriting the remaining three years of his contract. While there’s no guaranteed money left on that deal, it still calls for Diggs to earn $14.5 million in 2026, along with a hefty cap hit north of $18 million. That alone could make teams hesitate.

If Diggs goes unclaimed, things open up quickly for him. He would immediately become a free agent and wouldn’t have to wait until March to sign elsewhere, as long as he remains unsigned through the end of the regular season. That gives him flexibility, but it also highlights how uncertain his value has become at this point.
From a football standpoint, this season never really found its rhythm for Diggs. He appeared in the first six games before being placed on injured reserve. A concussion suffered at home sidelined him, and ongoing knee issues continued to linger. Those knee problems have been a recurring theme, as they limited him to just 13 games combined over the previous two seasons. Although he did manage to return for the final two games, it seems the Cowboys had already made their long-term assessment.
Adding to the awkward timing of this news is the situation involving Diggs’ brother, Stefon Diggs. Reports recently surfaced that Stefon is facing serious legal charges, including felony strangulation or suffocation and misdemeanor assault and battery. While this situation is entirely separate, the overlap in headlines has only intensified the spotlight on the Diggs family. Notably, Stefon remains on the Patriots’ active roster for now.
In the end, this feels like a clean break by Dallas. A talented but injury-limited player, a massive future cap number, and a team looking ahead rather than backward all collided at once. Whether Trevon Diggs finds a new home quickly or waits for the offseason market, his next chapter is about to begin — and it won’t be in Dallas.
