The Dallas Cowboys made cornerback Trevon Diggs one of the highest-paid NFL players in 2023. Just a few years later, the two-time Pro Bowl selection faces an uncertain future with the club.<\/p>\n
In a mailbag for The Athletic, Cowboys\u2019 reporter Saad Yousuf wrote that there\u2019s a realistic chance the 2025 season could be Diggs\u2019 last in Dallas.<\/p>\n
\u201cUnless there\u2019s a huge bounce back from Diggs in 2025, it\u2019s easy to see why the injuries and regression over the past two years would lead the Cowboys to want to get out of that contract. Diggs is a boom-or-bust type of player to begin with, but since his monster year in 2021, there\u2019s been a lot more bust than boom. Couple that with Bland being in the final year of his rookie deal and will be due a sizable extension, it\u2019s hard to imagine a realistic scenario in which this isn\u2019t Diggs\u2019 final year in Dallas.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n The Athletic\u2019s Saad Yousuf on Trevon Diggs\u2019 future with the Dallas Cowboys<\/strong><\/p>\n Trevon Diggs stats (2024): 2 interceptions, 85.3 QB rating allowed in 11 games<\/strong><\/p>\n Diggs, who turns 27 in September, is currently working his way back from a second knee surgery that he underwent this offseason.<\/p>\n He\u2019s in jeopardy of starting the season on the Physically Unable to Perform list (PUP), which would keep him out through September.
