"The acrimony between the team and Diggs really started to simmer when the team docked Diggs $5000,000 for rehabbing away from the team this offseason. Then one of Diggs' closest friends, Micah Parsons, was traded. Diggs struggled with injury to start the year, then finally returned only to struggle on the field in Matt Eberflus' defense. Now he is trying to return from a strange concussion injury at home that led to a stint on injured reserve."
"The Cowboys drafted cornerback Shavon Revel Jr. in April, and while Diggs has three years and $57 million left on his contract, none of that money is guaranteed. The Cowboys would incur just $5.88 million in dead money if they released him. Diggs has been working his way back from injury and still has a chance to show enough over the rest of the season to convince Dallas to keep him."
Trevon Diggs was once a top-rated cornerback projected as a long-term defensive cornerstone for the Dallas Cowboys. Relations frayed after the team docked Diggs $5000,000 for rehabbing away from the team and after the trade of Micah Parsons. Diggs has battled injuries including an ACL and a recent concussion suffered at home that led to injured reserve. He returned to practice but has struggled in Matt Eberflus' defense and has not played at pre-injury level. The Cowboys added Shavon Revel Jr. and signed DaRon Bland long term. Diggs has three years and $57 million remaining, with little guaranteed.
