Trevon Diggs Contract details
In July 2023, the Cowboys and Trevon Diggs agreed to a five-year, $97 million contract extension. This made him one of the highest-paid cornerbacks in the NFL at the time.
Diggs received a $21.25 signing bonus in addition to $1.0 million in roster bonuses per game from 2024 to 2028. He also received a significant financial guarantee with about $33.3 million guaranteed at signing and roughly $42.3 million in total guarantees over the course of the contract.
He also received an injury guarantee of $9 million for 2025 that was set to vest in the year 2025; however, the Cowboys cut Diggs before it fully locked in.
However, in the 2025 season, the Cowboys exercised a workout-clause provision in Diggs’s contract after he did not meet the required percentage of offseason training at team facilities, resulting in a $500,000 reduction to his base salary.

Injury problems and limited production
Diggs has been limited by injuries and inconsistent availability ever since he signed the extension.
A torn ACL in 2023 sidelined him for most of that year, and subsequent cartilage issues and a 2025 concussion further curtailed his playing time.
Since the contract began, Diggs has appeared in just 21 of a possible 50 games with only three interceptions and 25 tackles in 2025 before being waived.
