Trevon Diggs was never going to be back with the Dallas Cowboys in 2026, but it still came as a surprise when he was released on Tuesday. There is only one game left in the season, and Dallas could have tried to trade him -- likely to no avail -- had they waited until the offseason.
It turns out, one final incident involving Diggs compelled the front office to pull the plug. Per reports, Diggs asked to stay in D.C. after the Cowboys' Christmas Day win over the Commanders.
A Maryland native, Diggs has family in the area and asked to stay behind so he didn't have to fly back after the team landed in Dallas.
