"There were impressive high points, such as leading the league in interceptions during the 2021 season with 11 picks, as well as some low points, most of which came over the last three seasons. With Diggs back at practice this week, there was some hope that he could ultimately be activated from the IR and rejoin the team for Week 15's matchup against the Minnesota Vikings. Saturday afternoon, we learned that is not happening, as ESPN's Todd Archer reported the veteran cornerback would not be activated for this weekend's game."
"If Diggs is not activated by Dec. 20, he will be ruled out for the remainder of the 2025 campaign. Should the Cowboys allow that to happen, it would not be surprising in the slightest to see the front office move on from the former All-Pro this offseason. As FanSided's Devon Platana explained, Dallas could save a large chunk of change by parting ways with Diggs this offseason."
"In fact, should the Cowboys wait until after June 1 to decide on Diggs' future with the franchise, Jerry Jones could cut $15.5 million from the team's 2026 salary cap number by cutting or trading the former Alabama Crimson Tide standout. If Jones and the front office choose to move sooner on a final decision on Diggs' future, they could cut just north of $12.5 million from next season's cap number. Either way, Dallas would stand to save a significant amount of money against next season's salary cap that can be distributed in different ways to improve this roster."
Trevon Diggs produced elite results in 2021 but has experienced availability and performance issues across the last three seasons. He returned to practice but was not activated for Week 15, leaving a 21-day activation window that closes on Dec. 20. If not activated by that date, Diggs will be ruled out for the remainder of the 2025 campaign and could be moved on in the offseason. Cutting or trading him could free roughly $12.5 million against next season's cap if done now or about $15.5 million if the decision waits until after June 1. Diggs has appeared in just 19 games over the past three seasons due to inconsistent availability.
