Diggs is entering Year 7 of his pro career. The former Alabama All-American has been looking for a new team since January.
The Dallas Cowboys selected Diggs in Round 2 of the 2020 NFL Draft. He has played all but 2 of his 71 career games with the Cowboys, suiting up for the Green Bay Packers twice last season, once in the regular season and once in the playoffs.
Diggs had standout seasons in 2021 and ’22, making the Pro Bowl both years. He was named All-Pro for 2021, the season in which he was the NFL’s interception leader with 11 picks.
Last season, Diggs dealt with a concussion that limited him to just 8 games with the Cowboys. He was waived by Dalls on Dec. 30 and claimed by Green Bay the following day.
In his NFL career, Diggs has played in 67 regular-season games, making 64 starts. He has 242 career combined tackles along with 63 passes defended including 20 interceptions.
