How'd Cowboys Ex Trevon Diggs Do In Packers at Bears Playoff Loss?

FRISCO - Last month, Trevon Diggs forged his escape from the Dallas Cowboys, misbehaving his way out of town and then signing to hang out with his buddy Micah Parsons' Packers.

On Saturday, Green Bay played at Chicago and lost its playoff game, 31-27.

The Pack allowed 361 passing yards to kid QB Caleb Williams and allowed 25 points in the fourth-quarter collapse.

 A guy like Diggs - who when he arrived in Green Bay announced "(I) still feel like I'm the best!'' - sure could've come in handy to stem the tide of that comeback, right?

Wrong.

Here are the DB snap counts from the game ...

Cornerbacks

So between cornerback, safety (where some mindless folks in Dallas were saying 'Tre should be moved to) and special teams (a good place for a new guy to "help'') ...

Diggs played one snap.

One. Oh, and it didn't go especially well, either ...

We reported long ago that the Cowboys were going to dump Diggs sometime before the NFL business year was to begin in March 2026, in part because of the $12 million cap savings that would come available.

Dallas was congratulated for being proactive back in the summer of 2023 when it signed Diggs to a five-year, $97 million extension that both a) made him one of the league’s highest-paid defensive backs and b) felt like a bargain.

Diggs had been a Pro Bowler the previous two seasons, and an All-Pro in 2021, when he led the NFL with 11 interceptions. He was colorful and gifted and a ballhawk and the love even extended to Cowboys Nation embracing his adorable young son, who became a celebrity via his cute quips on HBO’s “Hard Knocks.’’

But then the injuries piled up. And so did a series of incidents that changed the “color’’ of Tre’ being colorful.

Diggs tore his ACL just two games into the new deal, and after another knee problem, he has played just 21 games in three years. He’s conflicted with management over his devotion to rehab, he’s conflicted with his coach about Dallas’ defensive system, he’s moped following the trade of his pal Parsons to the Packers, he’s fibbed about the Cowboys not informing him about when he’d be moved off IR, and he spent a huge chunk of the 2025 season sidelined in part due to - as he claims - a TV he was trying to hang from the ceiling of his $4 million mansion fell on his head.

Bad decisions? Yeah, lots of ‘em.

Pro Tip I: If you make $20 million per year, you can afford to hire a handyman to mount your big screen.

Pro Tip II: We''re still betting a "stripper pole'' was more likely involved that a "TV pole.''

Bad play? Yeah, lots of that, too.

Diggs has allowed a 157.2 passer rating (according to Pro Football Reference) while in coverage in 2025.

How bad is that?

*Per “NFL Reseacher,’’ that’s the crummiest number among 616 cornerbacks with at least 20 targets in a season since 2020.

*It’s far worse than 2025’s next-poorest guy, the Giants’ Deonte Banks at 136.3.

*It’s painfully close to a perfect passer rating, which is 158.3.

By the 2025 numbers in Dallas? He was “The Worst Cornerback in the NFL.''

And now? Before a playoff game in which he wasn't even asked to work up a sweat, Diggs was asked about his fit in Green Bay.

"I think I just need to be myself, you know? Be who I know I am," Diggs said.

And he was indeed that. Because just like his 2025 season in Dallas, what he was was a non-factor.
