Seahawks' Trevon Diggs Signing Sets up Special Full-Circle Moment in 2026
Former All-Pro CB Trevon Diggs is joining the Seahawks, setting up a rare full-circle moment in Week 3 of the 2026 NFL season.
The Seattle Seahawks bolstered their defense by signing former All-Pro cornerback Trevon Diggs to a one-year contract on Wednesday. Despite ongoing legal issues, the team plans to sign Terrion Arnold, who needs to replace former Pro Bowl cornerback Riq Woolen. NFL insider Jordan Schultz highlighted a special full-circle moment for the 2026 season, as Seattle will face the Washington Commanders in Week 3.
Both Trevon and Stefon Diggs, the son who signed with Washington earlier in August, grew up in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area. Trevon attended the University of Alabama, while Stefon went to the same school a few years earlier. The teams were linked even more intimately as both players were high school teammates in Gaithersburg, Maryland.
Stefon signed with Washington to add another reliable receiver to quarterback Jayden Daniels' offense, which will feature Pro Bowl wideout Terry McLaurin. Trevon Diggs, meanwhile, joins a Super Bowl-winning Seattle defense, which includes Devon Witherspoon, Nick Emmanwori, and Josh Jobe. When healthy, Diggs remains a highly skilled cornerback and offers the Seahawks valuable experience.
The 2026 season presents an excellent opportunity for Diggs, who has struggled with injuries over the past three seasons, appearing in only 22 games.
