Trevon Diggs is still trying to find a home, and the Seattle Seahawks may be the team that finally offers one.
According to the NFL transaction wire, Diggs worked out for the Seahawks on Tuesday. Mike Garafolo of NFL Network confirmed the visit. It is the second known workout for the former Dallas Cowboys All-Pro cornerback this month, after the Detroit Lions brought him in for a look earlier.
How Diggs Got Here
Dallas drafted Diggs in the second round in 2020 and watched him turn into a star. He made the Pro Bowl in 2021 and 2022 and earned first-team All-Pro honors in 2021 with a league-leading 11 interceptions.
Then the injuries stacked up. A torn ACL in a September 2023 practice cost him almost the entire season. He played 11 games in 2024, then just eight in 2025 before the Cowboys made the surprising call to release him.
There was more going on than just the football. Diggs dealt with concussion symptoms after an accident at home, and reports surfaced that he wanted extra family time following a Christmas Day game. He was released right after that dispute.
Green Bay claimed him on waivers, but Diggs played just two games with the Packers, including their wild-card loss to the Chicago Bears.
Why the Seahawks Make Sense
Seattle needs cornerback help right now. The team is working through a deal for Terrion Arnold, but Arnold is headed for the commissioner’s exempt list because of legal issues. That leaves a hole in a secondary that is trying to win the NFC West.
Diggs at his peak was one of the best ball-hawking corners in the sport. Even at 75 percent of that player, he raises Seattle’s floor. On a prove-it deal, this is the kind of low-risk, high-ceiling swing smart teams take at this point in the calendar.
Head coach Mike Macdonald built his reputation on defense in Baltimore, and he is going to look at Diggs and see a player who fits his style. Aggressive, physical, willing to gamble on the ball.
What Could Get in the Way
The medical file is the medical file. Two ACL-related concerns, a concussion, personal stuff off the field. Any team signing Diggs is signing a player with mileage. That is why the deal, if it happens, is going to look nothing like the five-year, $97 million extension he signed with the Cowboys in 2023.
The Lions took a look and passed for now. The Seahawks could do the same. Or they could pull the trigger and get a starter for pennies.
Storyline Alert
Seattle plays Dallas on December 7. If Diggs signs with the Seahawks and gets on the field, that game gets a whole extra layer. Cowboys fans are going to have feelings about seeing him line up against them, and Diggs is going to have plenty of motivation.
He is 27 years old. There is still a career left here for the right team. Whether Seattle is that team should be clear within the next week.
