Trevon Diggs is suddenly one of the biggest wild cards on the market after the Dallas Cowboys waived the two time Pro Bowl corner late in the season, a move that likely pushes him toward free agency if he clears waivers due to the contract mechanics.
Teams are going to have to decide if they are buying the 2021 star version of Diggs, or if they are betting the injuries and down year were the real story.
Trevon Diggs stats and accolades
Diggs is only 27 and his resume still pops. He was a first team All Pro in 2021 after leading the NFL with 11 interceptions, and he followed with another Pro Bowl level season in 2022. For his career, he has 20 interceptions, 63 pass breakups, and 240 tackles in 66 games.
The recent production is where it gets complicated. In 2025, he played eight games and totaled 25 tackles with no interceptions, and his coverage numbers were rough, including a 158.3 passer rating allowed when targeted and an 85% catch rate allowed per tracking data.
Trevon Diggs landing spots in free agency
Washington Commanders
This is the cleanest fit because of the Dan Quinn connection. Quinn was in Dallas during Diggs’ peak, so the pitch is simple: get him into a system and staff that already knows how to use him, then rebuild the confidence and the role. The Commanders also have real motivation to swing big if they feel their secondary needs a tone shift going into 2026.
My understanding of the Trevon Diggs situation is this: after the #Cowboys finished their Christmas game vs. the Commanders, Diggs requested with HC Brian Schottenheimer to stay in Washington for the holiday since he’s from the area and his family stays there.

Chicago Bears
Chicago makes sense because of familiarity, too, with Al Harris now coaching defensive backs there after working with Diggs in Dallas. The Bears also feel like the kind of team that would welcome a high upside gamble if they believe the issues were health and circumstance more than permanent decline. If Diggs wants a spot where he can play meaningful snaps right away, this is one of the most direct paths.
Trevon Diggs tells me he did stay back with family for Christmas and did attend the concert.

Both can be true.
He says he never lied about what he was doing or where he was and sent me plenty of time stamps and IG lives. See below.
The concert was Friday at 11pm and the… pic.twitter.com/g7ola5MtnZ
Philadelphia Eagles
Philadelphia is the sneaky contender fit because they do not need Diggs to be a savior. The Eagles have enough depth to keep his workload reasonable while letting him chase a ring and rebuild his value in a protected role. If Diggs is thinking short term reset with long term leverage, the Eagles offer the best mix of upside and lower pressure snaps.
