Packers Release CB Trevon Diggs After Brief Stint

Trevon Diggs played limited snaps due to injuries and performance issues, appearing in only two games for Green Bay before his release, according to Packers GM Brian Gutekunst.

  • On Tuesday, the Green Bay Packers released cornerback Trevon Diggs less than a month after claiming him on Dec. 31, making him a free agent for the offseason.
  • Having appeared in eight games for Dallas before Dec. 30, Diggs's 2025 season was marred by knee surgeries, a concussion on October 16, and poor performance, leading to his waiver.
  • In Green Bay's Wild Card loss, Diggs played only one snap despite appearing in two games, costing the Packers over $500,000 including a $472,000 base and $58,823 fee.
  • How does this affect the Packers' offseason? The club faces key personnel choices after releasing Trevon Diggs, saving $15 million in 2026 with no dead-cap charge while signing Jaden Crumedy and Kyle McCord.
  • Trevon Diggs was a second-round pick in the 2020 NFL draft and finished with 20 career interceptions after leading the NFL with 11 interceptions and earning All-Pro and Pro Bowl honors in the 2021 season.
