Packers claim All-Pro cornerback following turbulent end with Cowboys: report

FOX NFL Insider Jay Glazer shared the latest on the Green Bay Packers' quarterback injury situation, Maxx Crosby trade talk and DK Metcalf's altercation fallout.

Former Dallas Cowboys All-Pro cornerback Trevon Diggs was waived Tuesday, but the 27-year-old appeared to find a new home. 

The Green Bay Packers reportedly claimed Diggs, trying to give a boost to their secondary ahead of the playoffs. The Packers are locked in as the No. 7 seed in the NFC regardless of Week 18 results. 

Diggs has dealt with injuries and underperformance in the last few seasons, but he and the Cowboys also had a Christmas Day dispute. Head coach Brian Schottenheimer reportedly denied his cornerback’s request to remain in Maryland after the team’s game against the Washington Commanders.

Diggs’ family lives in the area, and he wanted to spend the holiday with them. Trevon is the brother of Stefon, who recently found himself in legal troubles.

Trevon looked like he was going to be a big part of the Cowboys’ secondary for a long time just a couple of years ago. In 2021, Diggs led the league with 11 interceptions and was named first-team All-Pro.

The following season, Diggs was named to the Pro Bowl for the second consecutive season after hauling in three interceptions. Diggs reportedly signed a five-year, $97 million contract extension at the beginning of training camp in 2023.
