Jordan Love’s Green Bay Packers connected to $47 million Dallas Cowboys cornerback (Image via Getty: Green Bay Packers logo and Dallas Cowboys logo) SB Nation’s Dan Rogers reports Green Bay Packers former passing game coordinator Derrick Ansley helped develop cornerback Trevon Diggs at the Alabama Crimson Tide. This connection probably explains why Green Bay wanted Diggs in the first place.Now, Ansley is with the Dallas Cowboys as their defensive backs coach and passing game coordinator, but the former Cowboys cornerback is projected to return to the Packers. A lot of confusion here. Let’s re-think this move through.
NFL Trade Rumors: Jordan Love’s Packers tied to Cowboys CB Trevon Diggs
A to Z Sports’ Wendell Ferreira reports a Green Bay-Trevon Diggs reunion could make perfect sense right now. Because two months have passed since his release and two weeks have passed since the new league year. And the Dallas CB is still available. Co-incidentally, the Packers also need to strengthen their cornerback room, despite signing Los Angeles Chargers CB Benjamin St-Juste and releasing Nate Hobbs after one season. Hobbs signed a one-year, $4.5M deal with the San Francisco 49ers.Anyhow, depth remains a concern for Green Bay as St-Juste is not a big bet. At the moment, the CB room consists of St-Juste, Carrington Valentine, Keisean Nixon, and a big gap. Adding competition to this room would make it interesting. In 2025, when Diggs played just one game for the Packers, he recorded 33 snaps, one stop, and two tackles. Ferreira reports the Packers could sign Diggs because he’s not a compensatory free agent and they have taken care of their four compensatory draft picks in 2027. According to Over The Cap’s Nick Korte, the Packers lose QB Malik Willis for fourth/third-round pick, WR Romeo Doubs for fourth-round pick, LB Quay Walker for fifth-round pick, and DE Kingsley Enagbare/LT Rasheed Walker for sixth-round pick.Anyhow, Diggs is suitable for Green Bay because the front office is more willing to sign older players in this free agency [Indianapolis Colts LB Zaire Franklin is 29, Minnesota Vikings DT Javon Hargrave is 33, and St-Juste is 28]. Diggs is 27 but carries six years of experience.
Green Bay projected to sign one year contract with Dallas cornerback
Lombardi Ave’s Freddie Boston reports bringing in Diggs could be a gamble because it would represent the Packers’ 2025 move when they brought in Diggs late in the regular season after he was released by Dallas.He played just one snap in the playoffs, then Green Bay also released him to clear $15M he was scheduled to account for in cap space in 2026. Re-signing may equal risk. It could be one of the reasons why he’s still a free agent two weeks into the new league year.A comfortable option for both Jordan Love’s Green Bay Packers and Trevon Diggs could be a one-year backup contract. It could be called a “prove it” deal. The Dallas CB could rebuild his value. The Packers need competition at cornerback, and they may also have to address other positions in the draft.According to Spotrac’s calculated market value, Diggs is projected to sign a one-year, $7.5M contract, giving him a $7.5M average annual income. His total career earnings are $47M. Now, that leaves us with: would the Packers bring him back? Only time will…
