Dallas Cowboys cornerback Trevon Diggs. <\/p>\n
Trevon Diggs<\/a> hasn\u2019t played much football over the last few years, as he milked a $97 million contract\u00a0with the\u00a0Dallas Cowboys<\/a> and watched more games than he played because of\u00a0a series of injuries.<\/p>\n That time away hasn\u2019t been great for his NFL<\/a> future, it turns out, and the Seattle Seahawks<\/a> released him on Friday.<\/p>\n \u201cFormer Cowboys CB Trevon Diggs was released from the Seattle Seahawks practice squad today, per the league transaction wire,\u201d The Fort Worth Star-Telegram\u2019s Nick Harris wrote on X<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cThe Seahawks released CB Trevon Diggs,\u201d NFL reporter Easton Butler wrote on X<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n The Cowboys released Diggs late in the 2025 regular season, and he briefly played for the Green Bay Packers<\/a> before signing with the Seahawks in August.<\/p>\n Trevon Diggs Goes Viral Over Brutal 49ers\u2019 Diss<\/p>\n Diggs\u2019 time with the Seahawks has become notable for one reason \u2014 and it\u2019s not a good one.<\/p>\n San Francisco 49ers<\/a> wide receiver Mike Evans<\/a> went mega-viral in Week 5 for his brutal diss of Diggs during a 49ers win.<\/p>\n The video that had the internet buzzing showed Diggs talking trash to Evans. Instead of talking back, Evans grabbed Diggs by the shoulder to look at the back of his jersey and see who he was, and Diggs responded by popping Evans in the face with a quick, open-handed jab.<\/p>\n Evans, who spent his first 12 seasons with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers<\/a>, is finding new life with the 49ers<\/a> after signing there as a free agent. Diggs is also in his first season with the Seahawks after the Cowboys cut him late in the 2025 regular season.<\/p>\n As one might imagine, the internet went crazy over the video.<\/p>\n \u201cI honestly didn\u2019t know it was him \u2026 I was like, \u2018Who are you?\u2019 Then I looked and made sure: \u2018Oh, it\u2019s f\u2014in\u2019 Diggs,\u2019\u201d Evans said after the game.<\/a><\/p>\n Diggs Paid $97 Million Before Career Spiral<\/p>\n Diggs signed a 5-year, $97 million contract extension with the Cowboys in July 2023, then played in 22 out of 51 possible regular-season games over the following 3 seasons.<\/p>\n After his release,\u00a0the Green Bay Packers claimed Diggs off waivers on December 31 \u2014just 1 day after the Cowboys released him.<\/p>\n Diggs missed 8 games in 2025 after a\u00a0mysterious at-home accident<\/a>\u00a0that, many months later, he said came from a\u00a0television falling on his head<\/a> as he tried to mount it on an outdoor patio \u2014 a story almost no one believed.<\/p>\n The final straw for the Cowboys came when Diggs asked to stay in the DMV with his family after an away game against the\u00a0Washington Commanders<\/a> on Christmas Day \u2014 Diggs is a D.C. native \u2014 and not fly home on the team plane. The Cowboys refused his request; Diggs stayed and was waived a few days later.<\/p>\n \n\t\t\tTony Adame<\/a> covers the NFL for Heavy.com, with a focus on the Denver Broncos, Baltimore Ravens, Buffalo Bills, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, San Francisco 49ers, and the entire NFC East Division.
