Trevon Diggs’ stint in Green Bay didn’t last long.
Less than a month after claiming Diggs off waivers, the Green Bay Packers announced his release on Tuesday.
Diggs appeared in two games with the Packers, including their season-ending wild card loss to the Chicago Bears on Jan. 10.
The Cowboys waived Diggs on Dec. 30 as a result of several things that occurred during the 2025 season, ranging from performance to off-the-field issues, such as being a continuous repeat offender on rules violations from meetings to rehab work, two people with knowledge of the move confirmed to The Dallas Morning News.

In one example, Diggs didn’t fly back to Texas with the Cowboys after the Christmas Day game against the Commanders in Landover, Md., a person with knowledge of the incident told The News. He was the only player not to fly back with the team.
Diggs appeared in eight games with the Cowboys this season in what was a tumultuous few months for the former All-Pro. Diggs missed two months with knee soreness/swelling and a concussion he suffered at his home.
After undergoing knee surgery in the offseason, the Cowboys deducted $500,000 from Diggs’ base salary because he did not do enough of his contractually required rehab work with the team’s athletic staff over the summer.
Diggs, the Cowboys’ second-round pick out of Alabama in the 2020 NFL draft, finished his time in Dallas with 20 career interceptions. He was not credited with a pass breakup or interception this season with Dallas.
The Cowboys signed Diggs to a five-year, $97 million extension in 2023. After signing the deal, he played in 21 games and had three interceptions for the Cowboys.
