"The Dallas Cowboys waived CB Trevon Diggs late Tuesday morning, shocking analysts and fans alike. If you have been following the Cowboys this season, you already know there was some turmoil between Diggs and the team since the offseason. Diggs saw his 2024 season cut short after tearing his ACL in a Week 3 practice before a road trip to Arizona to face the Cardinals."
"Much to the team's dismay, Diggs resorted to his own rehab team away from the Cowboys' facility. Jerry Jones and the Dallas Cowboys have some of the best surgeons and rehabilitation specialists in the world, but the former All-Pro cornerback remained steadfast in his approach. Diggs came back sooner than expected, but the damaged relationship was irreparable."
"The relationship between Diggs and the team deteriorated enough to waive him before the season is over, but the Cowboys actually are doing him a favor. By waiving him now, he can be claimed by a playoff team for postseason depth in the secondary, and he should have plenty of suitors. The move gives Diggs a chance to finish the season playing for a contender, and removes any drama from the Cowboys' locker room."
Trevon Diggs was waived by the Dallas Cowboys after offseason conflict and an ACL tear that cut short his season. Diggs pursued rehab away from the team's facility despite access to top surgeons and specialists in Dallas, returned earlier than expected, and left an irreparable relationship with the organization. The prior trade of Micah Parsons to the Packers intensified locker-room strain. Waiving Diggs now allows playoff teams to claim him for secondary depth, offers Diggs an opportunity to finish the season with a contender, and removes ongoing drama from the Cowboys' locker room.
