OXNARD, Calif. -- Dallas Cowboys cornerback Trevon Diggs was aware of the de-escalator clause in his contract that called for his base salary to be reduced by $500,000 if he did not participate in 84% of the offseason program, but it still caught him off guard when the club elected to enforce it.
"No, I didn't expect that," Diggs said. "That kind of hurt my feelings. But it's OK. Hopefully I make it back in incentives."
Diggs is now set to make $8.5 million this year as part of the four-year extension he signed in 2023, and he does not have incentives in his contract at the moment.
