On Tuesday, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloggingtheboys.com\/dallas-cowboys-roster\/193410\/trevon-diggs-release-roster-2025\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Diggs was released by Dallas<\/a>. Now, the former second-round pick has been claimed by the Green Bay Packers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Diggs struggled to stay on the field after signing his five-year, $97 million deal with the Cowboys in 2023. He played in only 21 games over the last three seasons, and that was in large part due to multiple serious knee issues. The first was a torn ACL in 2023 that he suffered after just two games that season. A year later, Diggs was shutdown for the last four games and needed to have a chondral tissue graft in the same knee.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">In 2025, Diggs played in eight games with six starts. However, a concussion that he suffered at home mixed with his disapproval of the scheme used by defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus, as well as a recent <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloggingtheboys.com\/dallas-cowboys-roster\/193437\/trevon-diggs-released-brian-schottenheimer-disagreement-travel-christmas\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">disagreement with head coach Brian Schottenheimer <\/a>over travel plans during Christmas, was the final straw.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Diggs will now reunite with All-Pro edge rusher and best friend Micah Parsons in Green Bay. Not long after Diggs was released, he <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/i\/status\/2006096346852327758\" rel=\"nofollow\">hired agent David Mulugheta<\/a> as his agent, which is the same man that represents Parsons.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">The Packers will be in the playoffs next week. It\u2019ll be interesting to see if Diggs can contribute.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It didn\u2019t take long for former Dallas Cowboys cornerback Trevon Diggs to find a new home.
