The Cowboys have waived cornerback Trevon Diggs. The move ends a tumultuous final season a game early in a Dallas career that never lived up to the promise of a 2021 All-Pro performance that included 11 interceptions.

If a team is awarded Diggs off the waiver wire, it will assume his contract. Diggs has three years remaining on a five-year, $97 million contract extension, but all the guaranteed money has been paid. The contract calls for Diggs to be paid $14.5 million in 2026, $19.5 million in 2027 and $20 million in 2028.
