No, the Dallas Cowboys did not release Trevon Diggs in the name of becoming relevant in the final week of the NFL regular season. That might be hard for some to believe, but Dallas actually had a good reason to move on from Diggs.
Diggs refused to board the Cowboys' flight home after their Christmas Day win over the Washington Commanders after his request to stay back in D.C. was denied. Brian Schottenheimer made it clear that the whole team would fly back together before parting for the holidays.
The decision painted Schottenheimer in an unflattering light, and he explained the decision -- as well as Diggs' release -- during his Wednesday availability.
