The Dallas Cowboys released two-time Pro Bowl cornerback Trevon Diggs on Tuesday.
The 27-year-old veteran will be subject to the waiver process and if unclaimed, will become a free agent.
Diggs confirmed the news to NFL Network, telling a reporter that 'he will miss his time in Dallas, he assures me he is healthy and motivated as he looks to join another team looking for another piece to add this postseason.'
Diggs, a second-round pick by Dallas in the 2020 NFL Draft, signed a five-year, $97 million extension in July 2023.
Any team claiming him would be on the hook for Diggs' base salary of $472,000 for Week 18, plus $58,823 if he is active for this week's game, per ESPN.
Since signing the extension ahead of the 2023 season, Diggs has played in just 21 of a possible 50 games, dealing with multiple injuries.
He sustained a torn ACL in practice two games into the 2023 campaign and missed the rest of the season.
He was activated from the physically unable to perform list in August after missing the final six games of the 2024 season with a left knee injury.
Diggs then landed on injured reserve on Oct. 25, reportedly to help strengthen a right knee problem, though he also reportedly suffered a concussion in an 'accident at his home' at some point after a Week 6 loss to the Carolina Panthers. Head coach Brian Schottenheimer and owner Jerry Jones did not share details of the incident or described how Diggs was injured.
He returned to action for the Cowboys' past two games, notching a combined seven tackles in a loss to the Los Angeles Chargers and a win over the Washington Commanders.
Diggs has 25 tackles in eight games (six starts) this season for the Cowboys (7-8-1), whose season ends on the road on Sunday against the New York Giants.
In 66 career games (63 starts), Diggs has 20 interceptions, 63 passes defensed and 240 tackles. He was named first-team All-Pro in 2021, when he led the league with 11 interceptions and returned two of them for touchdowns. He made the Pro Bowl in 2021 and 2022.
