Trevon Diggs has found a new home. The former Green Bay Packers and Dallas Cowboys cornerback signed with the Seattle Seahawks, the reigning Super Bowl champions, according to NFL insider Jordan Schultz. Diggs spent only a few weeks with the Packers last season after being claimed off waivers and now joins a Seattle secondary looking to reload at the position.

A quick stint in Green Bay

The Cowboys released Diggs last season, and Green Bay claimed him because cornerback was a significant roster hole down the stretch. The Packers paid around $500,000 to keep him around for the final week of the regular season plus the playoffs. Diggs played relatively well in his only extended action for the Packers, that meaningless Week 18 game against the Minnesota Vikings where starters didn’t play. He logged 33 snaps, allowed no receptions on one target, and recorded one stop and two tackles.

The playoff usage told a different story. Against the Chicago Bears, Diggs played only one snap for Green Bay.

When the Packers claimed Diggs off waivers, they absorbed his old contract with Dallas, and the numbers were prohibitive from the start. Diggs was set to make $15.5 million in 2026, $20.5 million in 2027, and $21 million in 2028. Green Bay was never going to pay that amount of money, so the team released him earlier this offseason.

The Packers could have explored re-signing Diggs to a new, much less expensive deal, but they decided not to pursue that route.

Seattle’s cornerback situation

The Seahawks need cornerback help, which made Diggs an attractive addition. Seattle still plans to sign Terrion Arnold, but that move is on hold because Arnold is managing his legal situation. Diggs gives the Seahawks a competitor on the roster right now, with Arnold expected to join the group down the road.

The Seahawks are expected to start Devon Witherspoon and Josh Jobe at boundary cornerbacks, with Nick Emmanwori in the slot. The top backup options on the outside are Nehemiah Pritchett, rookie third-rounder Julian Neal, Noah Igbinoghene, plus rookie seventh-rounders Andre Fuller and Michael Dansby.

Where Green Bay stands at cornerback

The Packers are still sorting out their best cornerback options heading into the season. Second-round rookie Brandon Cisse appears locked in as a starter. The second boundary corner spot remains more of a question mark, but Carrington Valentine returned to practice this week and seems to have a shot to beat veteran Keisean Nixon for that role. Given the direction of the roster, Diggs wouldn’t have made sense for Green Bay at this point, so moving on to Seattle makes sense for all the parties.
