"The New England Patriots are gearing up for their first playoff run since 2021, as they'll likely face the L.A. Chargers in the wildcard round in Foxborough. At this point in the season, the Patriots have locked up the AFC East with a game to go, and while beating the Dolphins on Sunday is the priority, preparing for the playoffs is of utmost importance."
"Things changed on Tuesday morning, however, when two-time Pro Bowler and 2021 NFL interceptions leader Trevon Diggs was cut loose by the Cowboys. The 28-year-old signed a five-year deal worth $97 million in 2023, but has played only 21 games since signing the contract. He tore his ACL in '23 and missed six games last season due to further issues in the same knee. He missed eight games this season with a knee injury and a concussion."
New England clinched the AFC East with one game remaining and is preparing for a likely wildcard matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers. The Dallas Cowboys released two-time Pro Bowler and 2021 interceptions leader Trevon Diggs. Diggs signed a five-year, $97 million deal in 2023 and has appeared in 21 games since, tearing his ACL in 2023 and missing time with knee issues and a concussion. Rehab conducted away from the team in Miami and absence from much of the voluntary offseason led to a $500,000 salary docking. The Cowboys' selection of Shavon Revel and plans with Daron Bland influenced the decision. New England fields a high-performing top three at cornerback but lacks depth behind them, making Diggs an attractive potential addition.
