Trevon Diggs is looking for a new team.

Diggs had been claimed by Green Bay after he had been placed on waivers by the Cowboys.

The corner suited up and played in the Packers' regular-season finale against the Vikings and played just one snap in the Packers' wild-card round loss to the rival Bears.

ESPN did indicate on Tuesday that there was a possibility that the Packers would opt to bring Diggs back, with a need at cornerback, but the contract he arrived on was tough to swallow.

The Cowboys signed Diggs to a five-year, $97 million contract in 2023 and his base salary for the upcoming season would have been $14.5 million.

Nevertheless, because there was no remaining guaranteed money on his deal, the Packers were able release him on Tuesday without incurring any hit to their salary cap.

Diggs had arrived with excitement earlier this month, calling it a blessing" to be in Green Bay.

It's hard to win in this league and it's hard to go to the playoffs, so just being here, being able to go to the playoffs, it's been truly a blessing and I'm truly thankful," Diggs had told reporters at the time.

He also noted the seeming natural" fit he had with the Packers.

It feels normal. It just feels like a great fit. It's been great. I'm just happy to be here," Diggs said.

Diggs played eight games for the Cowboys in 2025 and dealt with injury issues during the season, which included a concussion and a right knee injury.

NFL Network reported that the decision by the Cowboys to release Diggs was a combination of multiple factors - performative and other factors - and that there wasn't one lone incident that led to it.
