Former Packers CB Trevon Diggs finally finds a new team

Former Packers CB Trevon Diggs finally has a new team. He's headed to Seattle.

sports.yahoo.com ·

Green Bay Packers cornerback Trevon Diggs has signed a deal to join the Seattle Seahawks, as reported on Wednesday. The Seahawks waived former Packers receiver Julian Hicks to create space for Diggs on their roster. Diggs, an All-Pro for the Dallas Cowboys, played in just two games for the Packers last season. He appeared in the team's final match against the Minnesota Vikings, recording 33 total snaps, and contributed one snap during the NFC Wild Card Round loss to the Chicago Bears.

The Packers released Diggs on January 20, clearing his $14.5 million contract base salary from the 2026 salary cap. This was necessary as the team only needed Diggs as an emergency cornerback option for the remainder of the season. Since then, the Seahawks have bolstered their cornerback corps by adding veteran Benjamin St-Juste, along with rookies Brandon Cisse and Domani Jackson.

The Packers will not encounter the Seahawks in the 2026 regular season. At 28 years old, Diggs is entering his seventh year in the NFL. His career has seen 20 interceptions, though he failed to record any during his time with both the Cowboys and Packers last season.

Experience the thrilling and chilling 'Dark Ride' that's more exhilarating than a movie. 최근 실내 놀이시설에 새로운 트렌드로 떠오른 ‘다크라이드’를 아시나요? Recently, have you heard of 'Dark Ride', which has emerged as a new trend in indoor entertainment facilities? 이름 그대로 어둡고 무서운 테마의 놀이시설로, 탑승자가 차량에 탑승해 스크린이나 영상, 특수효과와 함께 테마에 맞춰진 공간을 이동하며 다양한 공포를 경험하는 신개념 놀이시설이다. As the name suggests, it is a dark and scary themed entertainment facility where riders sit in a vehicle and move through a themed space with screens, videos, and special effects to experience various thrills. 지난 2017년 4월, 홍콩 디즈니랜드에 오픈한 ‘쥬만지 : 새로운 세계’가 대표적인 다크라이드 시설이다. A representative example of a dark ride facility is 'Jumanji: The New World', which opened at Hong Kong Disneyland in April 2017. 이 놀이시설은 인기 어트랙션 ‘쥬만지’를 리뉴얼해 새롭게 선보인 것으로, 방문객들은 거대한 스크린을 통해 미지의 세계로 빠져든다. This facility renews the popular attraction 'Jumanji' and features visitors embarking on an adventure into a mysterious world through a giant screen. 이처럼 다크라이드는 실내에서 스크린을 통해 영사되는 영상을 통해 이용객이 테마에 참여하고 상호작용하는 놀이시설로, 기존의 놀이시설과 차별화된다. In this way, dark rides are indoor entertainment facilities where visitors participate in and interact with a theme through videos projected onto screens, differentiating them from existing entertainment facilities. 테마에 맞춰 공포, 스릴, 환상, 신비, 코믹 등 다양한 감정과 상상력을 자극하기 때문에 남녀노소 모두에게 큰 인기를 끌고 있다. They stimulate various emotions and imagination, such as fear, thrill, fantasy, mystery, and comedy, according to the theme, making them extremely popular among people of all ages. 실제로 다크라이드를 경험해 본 이용자들은 “테마파크 놀이기구보다 더 짜릿하다”, “공포영화보다 더 무섭다”며 만족감을 표하고 있다. In fact, users who have experienced dark rides have expressed satisfaction, saying, "It's more thrilling than theme park rides" and "It's scarier than horror movies". 이에 따라 다크라이드는 테마파크의 새로운 트렌드로 자리잡고 있다. Accordingly, dark rides have established themselves as a new trend in theme parks. 국내에서도 다크라이드를 즐길 수 있는 테마파크가 늘고 있다. The number of theme parks in Korea where you can enjoy dark rides is increasing. 경기도 광주에 위치한 ‘펀시티’는 지난 4월, 다크라이드인 ‘THE 1st 베이비 인 더 하우스’를 오픈했다. Located in Gwangju, Gyeonggi-do, 'Fun City' opened a dark ride called 'THE 1st BABY IN THE HOUSE' in April. 이 놀이시설은 아기 인형을 안고 집안을 돌아다니는 독특한 콘셉트의 다크라이드로, 영아 납치 사건을 다룬 흥미진진한 스토리라인을 담고 있다. This entertainment facility is a dark ride with a unique concept where visitors carry a baby doll and move around a house, featuring an intriguing storyline about an infant abduction case. 지난 7월에는 서울 광진구에 위치한 ‘롯데월드 어드벤처’에 ‘다크 디멘션’이 오픈했다. In July, 'Dark Dimension' opened at 'Lotte World Adventure' located in Gwangjin-gu, Seoul. 이 놀이시설은 미지의 공간으로 빠져든다는 콘셉트로, 탑승객은 미로 형태의 공간을 이동하며 오로라, 블랙홀, 우주 등 다양한 천체 현상을 경험하게 된다. This facility is based on the concept of delving into unknown spaces, where riders navigate through a maze-like space and experience various celestial phenomena such as the aurora, black holes, and the universe. 이처럼 다크라이드가 테마파크의 새로운 트렌드로 떠오르면서, 앞으로 더욱 다양한 테마의 다크라이드를 만나볼 수 있을 것으로 기대된다. As dark rides emerge as a new trend in theme parks, it is expected that we will be able to experience dark rides with even more diverse themes in the future.
