"I felt when the Cowboys released Trevon Diggs with one game left in the season, it didn't feel like a shock, it felt like a long-time end that was brewing and finally arrived. We all know Dallas didn't cut him out of nowhere, they cut him because his presence wasn't matching the price tag or expectations anymore. That rings more true when you look at how his time here unraveled. Trevon Diggs was one of the highest-paid corners in the NFL, signed to a five-year, $97 million extension in 2023."

A torn ACL in 2023 and knee problems since are part of the brutal reality of the NFL, but it wasn't just that he was hurt. It was how things unfolded around those injuries."

Team leaders' presence in meetings and workouts was cited as a cultural issue. Multiple sources indicated a series of choices, including incomplete team rehab and a concealed concussion linked to an off-field incident, precipitated the decision.
