Packers Cut Trevon Diggs from Roster
The Green Bay Packers have officially released cornerback Trevon Diggs, marking the end of his brief tenure with the team. The decision was announced on a Tuesday, following a series of injuries that heavily impacted his performance.
Background on Trevon Diggs
Trevon Diggs was picked up by the Packers off waivers in December after being released by the Dallas Cowboys. Despite his strong history, including leading the NFL with 11 interceptions in 2021, his time with Green Bay was far from impactful.
Performance Overview
- Played a total of 33 defensive snaps in the regular-season finale against the Minnesota Vikings.
- During the postseason game against the Chicago Bears, Diggs was only on the field for one snap.
Injury Struggles
In recent years, Diggs has faced significant challenges. He sustained a torn ACL during practice in September 2023, which required surgery. Additionally, in December 2024, he underwent further knee surgery. His health issues continued into 2025 when he dealt with concussion symptoms that placed him on injured reserve.
Financial Impact of the Release
By releasing Diggs, the Packers will save over $15 million against their salary cap, allowing more flexibility for future moves. Diggs had three years remaining on his contract at the time of his release.
New Additions to the Team
In conjunction with this decision, the Packers have also announced the signing of quarterback Kyle McCord and defensive lineman Jaden Crumedy to futures contracts.
