"It was a culmination of multiple factors," Schottenheimer said. "Performance, other elements. He's been an incredible player for this organization, and I really do, I truly do like Trevon a lot, I wish him nothing but the best and I'm excited to see where he lands and watch him continue his career."
"It was one of many factors, it was not the only factor," Schottenheimer said. "I'm not the Grinch that stole Christmas. I love Christmas, I love my family. But at the end of the day, we have a protocol that we go through and the process was not followed."
"First time I heard about it, Trevon grabbed me after the game," Schottenheimer said. "I'm celebrating a big win, and I explained to him the protocol, which has always been the protocol, we go up as a team, we come back as a team. And he decided to make a decision. I'll say this: It was not the only reason that this decision was made."
The Cowboys waived sixth-year cornerback Trevon Diggs and will enter 2026 without him on the roster. Head coach Brian Schottenheimer cited a culmination of factors, including performance and other elements, while praising Diggs' contributions and wishing him well. Reports said Diggs remained in Washington with his family after the Cowboys' Christmas win instead of taking the team's flight back, and he did not inform the coach until after the game. Schottenheimer stressed that the team has a travel protocol — unless there is a family emergency — and said the protocol was not followed and that the incident was one factor among several leading to the decision.
