The Dallas Cowboys began their training camp in Oxnard, California, with cornerback Trevon Diggs absent due to recovery from knee surgery, placing him on the PUP list. Diggs incurred a $500,000 salary reduction for not fulfilling contract requirements related to offseason attendance, choosing to rehabilitate in South Florida instead. The franchise expressed disappointment over his lack of presence, with Jerry Jones emphasizing expectations for leadership from high-paid players. Leadership and contractual responsibilities were significant themes in statements made by the Cowboys' management during the opening press conference.
Owner Jerry Jones made it clear, "We expect a player paid like Trevon to be here all the time. We expect him to be leading. That's not new."
Executive vice president Stephen Jones stated, "The deescalation is contractual. When he decided to train in South Florida, he understood what the consequences would be."
