Seahawks to sign former Cowboys, Packers All-Pro CB to one-year deal

The Seattle Seahawks lost Riq Woolen to the Philadelphia Eagles this past offseason, seeing a starting cornerback depart in free agency. They also lost Coby Bryant, their standout safety, to the Chicago Bears in free agency.

While Josh Jobe came back and they drafted Bud Clark, the Seahawks could use a bit more help in the secondary. They've reportedly agreed to a contract with Terrion Arnold, but his NFL future is a bit uncertain. So, more CB help couldn't hurt for Seattle.

According to NFL insider Jordan Schultz, the Seahawks are signing former Dallas Cowboys and Green Bay Packers cornerback Trevon Diggs to a one-year contract, a very intriguing upside signing for Mike Macdonald's defense.

Seahawks to sign Trevon Diggs to free agent deal

"Sources: The Seahawks are signing 2x Pro Bowl CB Trevon Diggs," Schultz reports. "Diggs, who's still just 27 years old, has 20 career INTs and 63 passes defensed and is set to compete for a role in a secondary dealing with injuries."

This addition is a very intriguing one for the Seahawks. Diggs isn't exactly a top-tier, All-Pro cornerback like he once was.

He had 11 interceptions and two pick-sixes back in 2021 for the Cowboys, but hasn't been remotely the same player since, especially this past season.

In eight games with the Cowboys, Diggs allowed 17 receptions on 22 targets for 270 yards and four touchdowns for an awful 157.2 passer rating allowed.

He didn't have one interception or one pass defended last season for the Cowboys. He was cut by the team that drafted him, and then joined the Packers, where he lasted just one game before being released.

While Diggs isn't as good as he once was, he is still just 27 years old, and on an elite defense in Seattle, he could try to return to form in a great defense.

This is a low-risk, high-upside signing for the Seahawks and is worth a try to see if he can bounce back from a brutal 2025 season for the Cowboys and Packers.
