Ex-Cowboys All-Pro Trevon Diggs arrives to Seahawks ‘to show I’m still the best’
The Super Bowl champions go from an agreement on a new contract with in-limbio cornerback Terrion Arnold to signing one who can play now.
Former All-Pro cornerback Trevon Diggs has joined the Seattle Seahawks, signing a one-year contract with the team. The cornerback, who is about to turn 28, made the move to Seattle for the familiarity and the opportunity to join a familiar group of teammates. Diggs played college football with Seahawks cornerback Josh Jobe and was coached by Seahawks defensive backs coach Karl Scott at Alabama.
He previously played for Dallas, including becoming an All-Pro in 2021, and was teammates with Seattle's outside linebacker DeMarcus Lawrence. Seattle defensive coordinator Aden Durde previously coached Diggs in Dallas. Diggs was let go by the Cowboys in December due to concussion symptoms and a knee injury. Seattle's coach, Mike Macdonald, has been looking for a third cornerback to fill the void left by Riq Woolen, who left for the Eagles in a one-year, $12 million deal.
Diggs is expected to travel to Nashville for a preseason game against the Titans and could potentially play in Seattle's final preseason game on Aug. 28 against Kansas City.
