Source: Seahawks to sign former Cowboys CB Trevon Diggs
Key Points:
- Former Dallas Cowboys Pro Bowl cornerback Trevon Diggs is set to sign a one-year deal with the Seattle Seahawks, providing immediate help to their secondary amid uncertainties around cornerback Terrion Arnold's availability.
- Diggs, 27, was a standout player for the Cowboys, earning first-team All-Pro and Pro Bowl honors in 2021 and 2022, but has struggled with knee injuries and missed significant playing time over the past three seasons.
- The Cowboys penalized Diggs financially due to his choice to rehab away from the team’s facility, which contributed to a contentious end to his tenure in Dallas.
- Seattle's defensive staff includes coaches familiar with Diggs, such as Karl Scott, his position coach at Alabama, and defensive coordinator Aden Durde, who previously worked with him in Dallas.
- Diggs' signing addresses Seattle's depth at cornerback, where players like Noah Igbinoghene, Nehemiah Pritchett, and rookie Julian Neal are competing for roles amid injuries and legal uncertainties.
