"Former Pro Bowl cornerback Trevon Diggs was released by the Green Bay Packers on Tuesday after playing just two games and 34 snaps for them this season. The Packers claimed Diggs off waivers from the Dallas Cowboys on Dec. 31 after they lost a pair of cornerbacks to injuries the previous week. Diggs started and played 33 snaps in the regular-season finale against the Minnesota Vikings but was not used in a prominent role during the wild-card playoff loss to the Chicago Bears."
"Diggs signed a five-year, $97 million contract in 2023 but because it had no remaining guaranteed money, the Packers can cut him without any salary cap ramifications. Diggs' base salary for 2026 would have been $14.5 million if the Packers kept him. They ended up paying Diggs a little more than $500,000 for his services. Before joining the Packers, Diggs played in eight games for the Cowboys in 2025, missing time because of a concussion and a right knee injury,"
