About five years ago, Trevon Diggs tied Everson Walls’ Cowboys record for interceptions in a single season. Now, Walls is sharing his thoughts on Diggs’ Dallas departure.
Walls recently joined 105.3 The Fan (KRLD-FM), where he discussed the end of Diggs’ time with the Cowboys. Walls said he felt the relationship had gotten strained between Diggs and the franchise by the time the cornerback was waived.
“There are some relationships that you think can handle more than you thought. There are some relationships that are up and down,” Walls said. “I’m sure Trevon thought that this was going to work out, but you’ve got to do your part. There are rumors that he wasn’t doing that, and I’m not talking about on the field, necessarily. I’m talking about buying into the culture of the team.”
Walls added that he never felt Diggs bought into the Cowboys’ culture after he dealt with a knee injury over the 2025 offseason. The Cowboys icon said buying in is easier when a player is having a productive year.

Diggs notably tied Walls’ Cowboys record in 2021, when he reeled in 11 interceptions throughout the regular season. Diggs struggled to regain that rhythm toward the end of his Dallas tenure.
Diggs closed out the 2025 season with the Green Bay Packers, appearing in the team’s wild-card playoff loss to the Chicago Bears. Green Bay released Diggs after its postseason loss.
“I went back and looked at some of his highlights. Just amazing some of the plays that he made, not just the interceptions,” Walls said. “But it’s where you are when things go south, and he wasn’t in a good place when he did that.”
