Trevon Diggs Remains With Dallas Cowboys After Massive Extension
With the Diggs extension, the Cowboys lock up their top corner for the foreseeable future.
Drafted in the second round of the 2020 NFL Draft, Diggs is a true ball hawk, with 17 interceptions in three seasons.
The two-time Pro Bowl selection’s best year was 2021 when Diggs led the league with 11 interceptions and two touchdowns. As a result, Diggs was named First-team All-Pro.
Diggs was entering the final year of his rookie contract and set to earn $4.3 million in base salary.
At a $19.4 million-per-year average, Diggs becomes the fifth-highest-paid cornerback in the NFL, behind Jaire Alexander, Denzel Ward, Marshon Lattimore, and Marlon Humphrey.
