FRISCO - Whatever happened to Trevon Diggs?
A $97 million contract.
A $4 million mansion.
World-wide acclaim - and women and travel and fame - as a prominent member of the Dallas Cowboys.
And now it's all gone. Like that.
Diggs lived a fun-and-games fantasy dream during his time in Dallas, achieving Pro Bowl status before injuries - and maybe a stripper pole installed in that aforementioned $4 million mansion - tore him down.
The Cowboys cut Diggs late in the 2025 season ... mercifully, really ... and freed him to sign with an archrival.
That's how unconcerned Dallas was about Diggs' road to recovery.
Oh, the Packers were going to help Trevon stick it to the Cowboys as Green Bay claimed the wounded cornerback off waivers.
He was supposedly going to help them to playoff glory because the Packers are a more professional organization than the Cowboys are (or so Diggs and new reunited teammate Micah Parsons claimed).
He was going to quickly establish that he's still "the best'' cornerback in the NFL (or so Diggs also claimed).
The Cowboys would be shamed for "screwing'' Diggs (or so Micah claimed) ... and with Diggs pouting his way out of Dallas (featuring his defiant refusal to board the team plane after a Week 17 game at Washington) the Packers would be rewarded for their sly trickery.
And then the Green Bay dream ended. Reality replaced fantasy. ... with the next shoe to drop (or maybe "the next poorly-installed TV to drop'' on his head, as Diggs' concussion story went) being a Packers decision to ingloriously cut the faded Diggs.
The Packers watched Diggs for a week of practice and saw what Dallas saw - minus the moping: He didn't belong on the field. That's why even as the Packers' secondary was getting roasted in a playoff loss at Chicago, they only got desperate enough to let Tre' play one snap.
He made $472,000 in base salary for Week 18, plus $58,823 for being on the playoff roster ... for one snap.
And then the football farce finished. Diggs was been cut by Green Bay.
That was three months ago. And reality is setting in even more firmly now, as NFL free agency signings have come and gone ...and the NFL Draft has come and gone ... and Diggs is left posting unimpressive videos of himself exercising in the yard.
Fans are responding with some cruelty to the video, but that's not the saddest thing here.
No, what's unfortunate is that the Cowboys' accusations about Diggs' lack of commitment to getting and staying healthy proved to be accurate.
Is Diggs done as a player? It appears 32 teams are making that decision. But for sure, he's done as an All-Pro-caliber playmaker and given that Packers saved $15 million by cutting him, he's done making a big check.
By one measure, Diggs graded out in Dallas as "The Worst Cornerback in the NFL.'' And how bad is he? Green Bay could bring him back at a reduced salary just to pacify the rehabbing Parsons, but the Packers aren't bothering.
And if they do? All those accusations on how "the Cowboys are a country club'' will suddenly apply to the proud Packers.
Diggs, still just 27, was such a joyous personality here when things were going well (we call that a "front-runner'') but turned so sour when he didn't get his way in Dallas. And that is a legacy-ruiner.
So whatever happened to Trevon Diggs? The fantasy dream is over. The Cowboys were right in waking him up to end it. And now he's sort of just goofing around out in the yard.
