CB Trevon Diggs calls out Cowboys in major and concerning way regarding controversial Micah Parsons report
The 2024 Dallas Cowboys offseason keeps getting more frustrating by the minute and on Friday it reached an even more concerning level when All-Pro cornerback Trevon Diggs called a spade a spade and called out the franchise without having to say much explicitly.

The 2024 Dallas Cowboys offseason keeps getting more frustrating by the minute and on Friday it reached an even more concerning level when All-Pro cornerback Trevon Diggs called a spade a spade and called out the franchise without having to say much explicitly.
"That's that weird shit," wrote Diggs on a post on Twitter/X moments after 105.3 The Fan posted a segment where the radio hosts discussed what a Micah Parsons trade would look like.
The discussion lasted for a good while after Shan Shariff claimed multiple people within the organization would be happy to see him leave.
"I have heard from way too many people this offseason, way too many, I'm talking about at least four different people that Micah has worn thin there," Shariff said on air. "Now, I don't know how much is true and how much it actually hurts. I don't know whether this is the behavior of a typical superstar. I don't know how damaging it is."
"But all I do know is this: I've heard from way, way, way, way too many people, if Micah Parsons was out of there, there'd be a decent amount of people inside the Ford Center at the Star in Frisco smiling or breathing a sigh of relief," Shariff concluded.
There's so much to unpack there but I believe a quick glance at Trevon Diggs' Twitter activity is the right way to go.
Diggs, who last year signed a five-year contract extension, knows a thing or two about the negotiation process with the Jones and he seems to be of the belief that this so-called report is nothing but another example of the Cowboys finding a way to negotiate through the media.
On Friday, Diggs retweeted a Dez Bryant post on the topic claiming "this (is) what happens whenever it's time to get paid" and following it up with a couple of telling tweets pictured below.
Is it fair to suspect this is a negotiating tactic by the Cowboys?
Although we can't know for sure and this is speculative, it's hard not to think this is another example of the Cowboys doing their thing through the media as contract time quickly approaches for a star player.
Simply ask yourself what could Parsons have done in order for such thoughts to arise around people in the organization despite the Hall of Fame-caliber start that Parsons has had to his career?
We're talking about a talent so special that he's consistently in the conversation to be the best defensive player in all of football and all of the sudden he's wearing thin at The Star and we're doing 15-minute long segments on what essentially works as the team's flagship radio station about potentially trading the guy?
As John Williams noted first on Twitter/X, this is the same franchise that dealt with Michael Irvin and the 1990s Cowboys' behavior, signed Greg Hardy to an $11.3 million deal after a judge had found him guilty for assault and communicating threats. But some on the team would be happy to get rid of Parsons because of his attitude?
If there's truth to the report, which there very well could be, I'd absolutely be more concerned about the people with such a mindset than with Parsons' alleged attitude. Shariff surely heard what he heard, what's worth asking is if the people suggesting it mean it or if it's a poor effort in driving down Parsons' value.
After all, this offseason we've heard Jerry Jones question the exact value of CeeDee Lamb, claim a Dak Prescott extension doesn't need to get done even though he's entering a contract year. The trend is clear.
The fact that a current Cowboys star like Diggs isn't hiding from sharing his thoughts on it is quite telling.
