Trevon Diggs is back on the market, and two teams stand out as potential fits: the Philadelphia Eagles and the Jacksonville Jaguars. After a tough 2025 campaign that saw the former Pro Bowl cornerback suit up for just nine games-eight with the Cowboys and one with the Packers-Diggs is looking to reset. And while he’s no longer the shutdown corner we saw earlier in his career, there’s still a path for him to contribute in the right situation.
Let’s start with Jacksonville. The Jaguars have some real questions to answer at cornerback this offseason.
Greg Newsome, Montaric Brown, and Christian Braswell are all set to hit free agency, and that leaves a noticeable gap in the secondary. General manager James Gladstone has already acknowledged the need to bolster that group, and Diggs could be a savvy addition-especially in a depth role.
He’s not coming in to lock down WR1s anymore, but he could still offer value as a rotational piece, particularly in nickel or dime packages. Plus, with the Jags fresh off an AFC South title, adding a veteran presence like Diggs could help stabilize a young defense that’s still developing.
Philly, though, might be the better fit. The Eagles have a pair of young studs in Quinyon Mitchell and Cooper DeJean, and that gives them the flexibility to take a low-risk flyer on a veteran like Diggs.
At 27, he’s still young enough to bounce back-especially if he’s healthy and motivated. A short-term deal on a contender could be exactly what he needs to rebuild his value heading into 2027 free agency.
The Eagles wouldn’t be asking Diggs to carry the load. Instead, he’d likely slot in as a backup or situational corner, while also serving as a mentor to one of the league’s most promising young defensive back groups. That’s a role that could suit him well at this stage of his career.
It’s worth noting that Diggs’ 2025 season was derailed by more than just on-field struggles. A concussion suffered during a home accident while setting up a TV kept him sidelined for part of the year. After being released by Dallas late in the season, he landed in Green Bay-but only managed to appear in one game, logging just two tackles.
So, where does that leave him now? Realistically, Diggs isn’t a full-time starter anymore. But in the right system, with the right expectations, he can still bring value-especially to a team with playoff aspirations and a need for veteran depth in the secondary.
Whether it’s Jacksonville looking to reinforce a thinning cornerback room or Philadelphia aiming to add experience behind its emerging stars, Diggs could be a smart, low-cost addition. His days as a Pro Bowl-caliber corner may be behind him, but his football IQ, ball skills, and experience still make him a name worth watching as free agency unfolds.
