A former Packers cornerback signs with Super Bowl champion Seahawks

Former All-Pro cornerback Trevon Diggs, who played briefly for the Packers late last season, has a new team.

A former Packers cornerback signs with Super Bowl champion Seahawks

Trevon Diggs, the former All-Pro cornerback of the Green Bay Packers, has signed a one-year contract with the Seattle Seahawks. Diggs, 27, will join a team that won the Super Bowl last year and boasts a strong defense, ranking in the top six for scoring and run defense. His signing comes as a surprise, as he was initially a free agent after being released by the Packers and Cowboys due to various injuries.

Diggs had a remarkable 2021 season, leading the league with 11 interceptions and earning first-team All-Pro honors. He had two Pro Bowl appearances in his first three seasons. However, he has only played in 22 games in the last three seasons due to injuries, including a torn ACL that kept him out for most of the 2023 season. Diggs' move to the Seahawks marks a rare reunion with his former Dallas Cowboys teammate Micah Parsons, though their time together was brief due to Parsons' ACL injury.
