"The Green Bay Packers have claimed veteran cornerback Trevon Diggs, a day after he was waived by the Dallas Cowboys, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Wednesday. The playoff-bound Packers are now on the hook for the $472,000 Diggs is due in base salary for Week 18, plus $58,823 if he is active this week, according to ESPN's Field Yates."
"The club enforced a $500,000 base salary de-escalator for 2025 when he failed to take part in 84% of the team's voluntary offseason program. He chose to do his rehab work in South Florida instead of under the supervision of the team's athletic training staff. He opened training camp on the physically unable to perform list but was activated in time to play the first game of the season."
Trevon Diggs was claimed by the Green Bay Packers a day after the Dallas Cowboys waived him. The Packers are responsible for Diggs' $472,000 Week 18 base salary and an additional $58,823 if he is active. Diggs signed a five-year, $97 million extension in 2023 and has no guaranteed money beyond this season. Knee injuries limited him to 21 games over the past two seasons. The Cowboys cited concerns about his rehabilitation, including a $500,000 de-escalator for failing to attend 84% of voluntary offseason work and completing rehab in South Florida rather than with team trainers.
