Could The Cowboys Cut Trevon Diggs?

In fact, Dallas' 2025 cap has easily available options that can provide the Cowboys with $100 million in cap room.

Meanwhile, regarding the buzz among some in Cowboys Nation that even more might be gained by dumping Diggs, who isn't the same player he was two seasons ago due, of course, to injury?

He realistically has three seasons left contractually after this one. Dallas could save money by cutting him down the line. But not this spring. And why not?

As our Mike Fisher explains in the Fish Report, Diggs' season-ending knee surgery - a nasty thing that figures to cost him a big chunk of his 2025 season - triggers a clause in his contract that makes his release untenable.

His 2025 base salary of $9 million was guaranteed for injury at the time of signing in 2023, so Dallas is "stuck'' with that now. ... As opposed to if he was healthy at March 2025 start of the NFL year, when he could've been cut in order to gain as much as $10 million in cap space.

So the option is done. And we say the logic never existed, anyway. Would you rather have a healthy Diggs, or $10 million in room?

But now ... they don't have a healthy Diggs. And they can't do anything about it except help him rehab back to the point when, maybe inside of a year from now, he can reclaim his perch as one of the NFL's best ballhawk corners.
