But free agency has a way of humbling even the best rosters, and Seattle\u2019s cornerback room looks noticeably different heading into the offseason.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/heavy.com\/nfl\/player\/riq-woolen\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Riq Woolen<\/a> signed a one-year, $12 million deal with the <a href=\"https:\/\/heavy.com\/nfl\/player\/riq-woolen\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Philadelphia Eagles<\/a> in March after Seattle determined they couldn\u2019t afford to keep him. The Seahawks just made <a href=\"https:\/\/heavy.com\/nfl\/player\/jaxon-smith-njigba\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Jaxon Smith-Njigba<\/a> the highest-paid receiver in football, and a long-term extension for <a href=\"https:\/\/heavy.com\/nfl\/player\/devon-witherspoon\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Devon Witherspoon<\/a> is expected to follow. Something had to give, and it was Woolen.<\/p>\n<p>What remains is a cornerback group with a few question marks. Witherspoon is a legitimate No. 1 corner. <a href=\"https:\/\/heavy.com\/nfl\/player\/josh-jobe\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Josh Jobe<\/a> inked a three-year, $24 million deal after playing well during the postseason. Beyond those two, the depth falls off considerably. Nehemiah Pritchett is still developing, and Noah Igbinoghene has started 17 games over his six seasons, so neither is proven.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s why some believe <a href=\"https:\/\/heavy.com\/nfl\/player\/trevon-diggs\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Trevon Diggs<\/a> deserves a serious look.<\/p>\n<p>Should Seattle Seahawks Sign CB Trevon Diggs in 2026 Free Agency?<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5557101\" class=\"size-inline wp-image-5557101\" data-lazy-load=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Trevon-Diggs-Cowboys-Announcement.jpg\" alt=\"Trevon Diggs\" width=\"782\" height=\"440\"  \/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-5557101\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">GettyShould the Seattle Seahawks attempt to sign CB Trevon Diggs in 2026 free agency?<\/p>\n<p>Diggs is a tad difficult to evaluate because the gap between what he once was and what he\u2019s been lately is enormous. In 2021, he led the league with 11 interceptions \u2014 the most by any player since Everson Walls in 1981 \u2014 earning first-team All-Pro honors and his first of two consecutive Pro Bowl selections.<\/p>\n<p>Through his first three healthy seasons with the <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/heavy.com\/sports\/nfl\/dallas-cowboys\/\" title=\"Dallas Cowboys\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\" data-wpil-monitor-id=\"211681\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Dallas Cowboys<\/a>, he amassed 17 interceptions and 49 pass breakups. When he was on, few corners could match his instincts or nose for the football.<\/p>\n<p>The problem is that Diggs hasn\u2019t been on in a while. He tore his ACL in 2023 less than three months after signing a five-year, $97 million extension. He returned in 2024, but battled knee problems, starting 10 games before landing on injured reserve.<\/p>\n<p>His 2025 season was worse. A concussion landed him on IR, his relationship with Dallas deteriorated and he skipped the team flight home after a Christmas Day game. The Cowboys waived him December 30. The <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/heavy.com\/sports\/nfl\/green-bay-packers\/\" title=\"Packers\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\" data-wpil-monitor-id=\"211682\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Packers<\/a> claimed him, hardly used him for two games, then released him in January.<\/p>\n<p>Why Would the Seahawks Consider This?<\/p>\n<p>Diggs is still just 27. He\u2019d be a risk, but if his body cooperates, he could still be a solid depth corner.<\/p>\n<p>The Seahawks have approximately $30 million in effective cap space, per Over The Cap. Diggs fits what Mike Macdonald wants, too \u2014 he has good ball skills, and he could be a rotational third corner who can slide in on sub packages and provide experienced depth behind Witherspoon and Jobe.<\/p>\n<p>Matt Legros of Seahawks Wire thinks it might be a good idea for Seattle to give Diggs a call. \u201cDiggs is a high-profiled free agent that is worth a look in the open market,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/seahawkswire.usatoday.com\/story\/sports\/nfl\/seahawks\/2026\/03\/30\/nfl-free-agency-trevon-diggs-should-be-considered-by-seahawks\/89367915007\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external nofollow\">Legros wrote on March 30, adding<\/a>:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDiggs is an established veteran that has excelled on defense throughout his career.
