It didn’t take long for Trevon Diggs to find another team after the All-Pro cornerback was released by the Cowboys on Tuesday.
The Packers claimed Diggs off waivers on Wednesday, according to multiple reports, to allow the 27-year-old to have a chance at a postseason run — with the Packers’ spot in the tournament already clinched heading into Week 18.
Diggs, a two-time Pro Bowler, was cut by Dallas after a reported spat with head coach Brian Schottenheimer over Christmas flight plans following their Dec. 25 win over the Commanders.

“It was one of many factors, it was not the only factor,” Schottenheimer told reporters of the situation Wednesday. “I’m not the Grinch that stole Christmas. I love Christmas, I love my family. But at the end of the day, we have a protocol that we go through and the process was not followed.”
Diggs wanted to stay with family in the Maryland area and requested extra time with family following the game, while the Cowboys wanted him to fly back with the team, according to multiple reports.
And while it was a “culmination of factors” in performance and “other elements” that led to Diggs’ release, according to Schottenheimer, the ugly spat appeared to be the final wrinkle.
“First time I heard about it, Trevon grabbed me after the game,” Schottenheimer said Wednesday, according to the team website. “I’m celebrating a big win, and I explained to him the protocol, which has always been the protocol, we go up as a team, we come back as a team. And he decided to make a decision. I’ll say this: It was not the only reason that this decision was made.”
Diggs inked a five-year, $97 million extension with the team ahead of the 2023 campaign but has dealt with injuries since, appearing in just two in 2023, 11 in 2024 and eight this season.

After snagging an NFL-best 11 interceptions in 2021, Diggs has just six since, though now he’ll likely get a fresh start in the postseason with a Packers defense that’s needing to adjust without superstar edge rusher Micah Parsons — who suffered a season-ending ACL tear.
The Packers are locked into the NFC’s seventh seed and will play the Bears or Eagles in the first round.
Parsons, who played with Diggs in Dallas before getting dealt to the Packers ahead of the season in a stunning blockbuster, posted, “We’re back” with a saluting emoji on X after the transaction was reported.
Diggs’ older brother, Stefon Diggs, has also been involved in a recent controversy, with the Patriots receiver being accused of allegedly slapping and choking a female employee at his home over a money dispute earlier this month,
He’ll be arraigned on one felony count of strangulation and one count of misdemeanor assault Jan 23, and Diggs, through his attorney, denied the allegations.
