This rocky situation finally came to an end.
FRISCO, Texas – As the new year comes around, the Cowboys will enter 2026 without Trevon Diggs on their roster after waiving the sixth-year CB on Tuesday.
In his weekly Wednesday press conference, head coach Brian Schottenheimer explained the team’s decision to move on from the former All-Pro.
“It was a culmination of multiple factors,” Schottenheimer said. “Performance, other elements. He’s been an incredible player for this organization, and I really do, I truly do like Trevon a lot, I wish him nothing but the best and I’m excited to see where he lands and watch him continue his career.”
One of those factors came to light after Diggs was waived on Tuesday, as reports surfaced that Diggs did not take the team’s flight back to Dallas from Washington after the Cowboys’ 30-23 win over the Commanders on Christmas, and instead elected to remain in Washington with his family.
“It was one of many factors, it was not the only factor,” Schottenheimer said. “I’m not the Grinch that stole Christmas. I love Christmas, I love my family. But at the end of the day, we have a protocol that we go through and the process was not followed.”
Schottenheimer explained that his protocol is unless there is “a family emergency or something specific,” the team travels together both to and from games. He added that Diggs did not tell him he would be staying behind until the team was in the locker room following the game.
“First time I heard about it, Trevon grabbed me after the game,” Schottenheimer said. “I’m celebrating a big win, and I explained to him the protocol, which has always been the protocol, we go up as a team, we come back as a team. And he decided to make a decision. I’ll say this: It was not the only reason that this decision was made.”
Not playing linebacker Logan Wilson in Week 17 could be the final nail for Matt Eberflus in Dallas.
It’s extremely difficult to lose a trade when all you give up to acquire a solid veteran linebacker is a seventh-round draft pick, but lo and behold, the Dallas Cowboys have managed to pull it off.
The linebacker in question, of course, is Logan Wilson, whom Dallas acquired from the Cincinnati Bengals just ahead of the trade deadline in early November. And here we are in late December, and the 29-year-old has already fallen out of favor with Dallas defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus, so much so that he took exactly zero snaps in the Cowboys’ Christmas Day victory over the Washington Commanders.
Now, has Wilson made a huge impact since coming over from the Bengals. No,...
