Trevon Diggs Released: Packers Cut Cornerback, Impact on Cap Space & Future

Trevon Diggs’s Brief Tenure with the Packers Ends

The Green Bay Packers have announced the release of cornerback Trevon Diggs, bringing a swift end to his time with the team. The announcement came on Tuesday, marking a surprising turn of events for the 27-year-old NFL veteran.

Limited Impact on the Field

Diggs appeared in only two games for the Packers – a regular season contest and the NFC Wild Card round loss against the Chicago Bears. During these appearances, he recorded a combined total of three tackles. He was initially claimed off waivers from the Dallas Cowboys on December 31st, 2025, hoping to bolster the Packers’ secondary.

Financial Implications of the Release

The Packers’ decision to release Trevon Diggs frees up a significant $15.5 million in cap space, providing the team with financial flexibility as they head into the offseason. However, the Dallas Cowboys will incur a $5.8 million dead cap hit as a result of waiving him earlier. This highlights the complex financial considerations teams face when making roster decisions.

A Look Back at Diggs’s NFL Career

Hailing from Gaithersburg, MD, Trevon Diggs recently completed his sixth season in the NFL. The two-time Pro Bowler has established himself as a talented defensive player throughout his career. His career statistics include an impressive 242 tackles and 20 interceptions, with two of those interceptions returned for touchdowns (pick-sixes). He was a key player for the Cowboys before his departure.

What’s Next for Trevon Diggs?
