The Dallas Cowboys got an early start on their offseason agenda by moving on from veteran cornerback Trevon Diggs before their Week 18 game against the New York Giants. <\/p>\n
Dallas announced<\/a> on Tuesday that Diggs has been waived, allowing him to become a free agent if no team claims him. <\/p>\n Per NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero<\/a>, waiving Diggs was the culmination of “multiple factors spread over time, including both performance and other elements.”<\/p>\n B\/R’s NFL scouting department already had the Cowboys addressing their secondary with Tennessee’s Jermod McCoy projected<\/a> to be their first-round pick in their most recent mock draft. <\/p>\n Dropping Diggs is unlikely to significantly change the Cowboys’ draft and free-agent plans, especially since members of the organization have spoken<\/a> about him publicly throughout the season in a way that suggested they could move on. <\/p>\n Defense always seemed like the area of the roster that the Cowboys were going to address the most in the offseason. Moving on from Diggs only helps to solidify that as a strong possibility. <\/p>\n The Cowboys do have two first-round picks this year that could be used to bolster their defense. Those selections are\u00a0currently<\/a>\u00a0at No. 14 and 21 heading into the final week of the regular season.<\/p>\n
