The San Francisco 49ers are hurting on defense right now, and the Dallas Cowboys may have just thrown them a lifeline. Dallas just waived cornerback Trevon Diggs, which could open the door for him to join the Niners in the playoffs.
Diggs is now on waivers, which means a team could claim him and would be responsible for the roughly $500,000 left on his contract this season.
But if he goes unclaimed, that means he would be a free agent and any team could sign him.
This would potentially be a great late Christmas present from the Cowboys and would be a surprising bit of generosity from a longtime hated rival.
