The Green Bay Packers made waves by claiming Trevon Diggs after his release from the Dallas Cowboys during the 2025 season. With Jaire Alexander's departure and lackluster performances from Nate Hobbs and Keisean Nixon, Diggs seemed like a potential fix for the Packers' secondary woes.
However, Diggs didn't quite fit the Packers' mold. He was released after the season, having played just 34 defensive snaps across two games, but the move did save the team $15 million in cap space, seemingly closing the book on his Green Bay chapter.
Yet, Diggs might not be done with the Packers just yet. His recent social media activity has caught the attention of fans. Micah Parsons, a close friend, posted a picture of them working out in Packers gear, hinting at Diggs' openness to return.
Since leaving Green Bay, there hasn’t been much buzz around Diggs in free agency. Spotrac suggests a one-year deal worth $7.5 million could be in his future, a reasonable price for someone who was once a top-tier ballhawk, though his recent stats tell a different story.
In 2025, between his stints with the Packers and Cowboys, Diggs allowed 18 completions on 24 targets, resulting in a 75% catch rate. He gave up 288 receiving yards and four touchdowns over nine appearances, with opposing quarterbacks posting a passer rating of 154.2 against him.
Diggs, turning 28 soon, still has potential, but injuries have limited him to just 22 regular-season games since 2023. Despite this, a one-year 'prove-it' deal with the Packers could be a low-risk move. The cornerback market is quiet, and Green Bay could benefit from a team-friendly contract, giving Diggs a chance to find success under defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon and the coaching staff.
While the Packers are likely to address their cornerback needs in the NFL draft, Diggs could be a valuable depth option if he’s open to a return. It’s a situation worth watching as the team navigates its defensive strategy moving forward.
