Could released safety help Cowboys' defense?
Briefly

Could released safety help Cowboys' defense?
"According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, Diggs asked for and was granted his release. Diggs was in his second season with the Titans. This is actually the second season in a row in which Diggs won't finish the season for Tennessee. Diggs' 2024 campaign came to a close after eight starts when he suffered a season-ending Lisfranc injury. He played one more game for the team this year before being granted his exit."
"Under Dan Quinn, Trevon Diggs and DaRon Bland thrived in aggressive man coverage, where instincts and reaction time led to turnovers and game-changing plays. Under Eberflus, those same cornerbacks are shackled in soft zone coverage, reacting to space instead of receivers, effectively neutralizing what made them elite. It's not just poor execution; it's poor design for the talent on hand. This defensive identity crisis has infected the entire unit."
Quandre Diggs asked for and received his release from the Tennessee Titans, exposing the 32-year-old safety to waivers. Diggs was in his second season with the Titans and suffered a season-ending Lisfranc injury in 2024 after eight starts; he played one additional game this year before departing. The Dallas Cowboys defense is allowing the second-most yards and points per game and ranks among teams with the most missed tackles. Scheme changes under coordinator Matt Eberflus have limited playmaking cornerbacks, prompting suggestions that adding a veteran safety like Diggs represents a low-risk roster move.
