Trevon Diggs expects to return to the field by September
Diggs, thought, always had the season opener circled on his calendar.
He might not make it back by Sept. 4 for the first game against the Eagles, but Diggs is ahead of schedule in his rehab and hopes to be on the field sometime in September.
Diggs told Clarence Hill of All City DLLS he will not need to be placed on the reserve/physically unable to perform list, which would keep him out at least four games. He missed six games with his knee injury last season.
The Cowboys docked Diggs $500,000 for not rehabbing at the team facility enough, but he credits his team in South Florida for getting him back quicker than expected.
The two-time Pro Bowler tore the anterior cruciate ligament in the same knee during a Week 3 practice in 2023.

Shannon Sharpe quips pockets are lighter after settling bombshell rape lawsuit before ESPN firing
The fallout from Shannon Sharpe's turbulent year has apparently hit his wallet. During Sunday's installment of the 'Nightcap' podcast, the NFL Hall of Famer — who was fired by ESPN on Wednesday, weeks after settling a bombshell $50 million lawsuit that accused him of rape — pressed co-host Chad 'Ochocinco' Johnson to pay him $5,900, including late fees, while comparing him to Cowboys owner Jerry Jones. 'I'll pay you when I get ready,' Sharpe said, mimicking Jones, who is currently engrossed in an ugly contract standoff with All-Pro linebacker Micah Parsons. 'Like you do me. Like you owe me [$]5,900. You basically told me, 'I'mma pay you when I get ready.' Advertisement Johnson hit back with, 'Oh no, I ain't say that.' 4 Shannon Sharpe tells Chad 'Ochocinco' Johnson that he has lighter pockets after settling a $50 million lawsuit in which a Jane Doe accused him of rape last month. YouTube/Nightcap 'Your actions did,' Sharpe said. 'We're coming up on a year. There's a penalty for being late.' Johnson, who wasn't happy about being compared to Jones, vowed to repay Sharpe. Advertisement 'I'm gonna take care of you, baby. I'm not Jerry, I don't like that comparison. Don't do me like that… I got you,' the former wide receiver said. 4 Chad 'Ochocinco' Johnson couldn't contain his laugher when Shannon Sharpe said he has lighter pockets. YouTube/Nightcap 'See, you got it, but I need to get it,' Sharpe replied before looking down at his pockets. 'You know, pockets light right now, Ocho. Pockets light.' Advertisement That's when Johnson got up from his chair because he was laughing so hard. 'That's why I love you,' he said to Sharpe. 'That's what I need. C'mon back home to me. That's what I need. Thank you. That's the Shannon I need … We gon' be alright.' Sharpe did not specifically mention the settlement with his sexual assault accuser. 4 Former NFL player Sterling Sharpe, right, and his brother Shannon Sharpe pose with his bust during an induction ceremony at the Pro Football Hall of Fame, in Canton, Ohio, Saturday, Aug. 2, 2025, in Canton, Ohio.

During a Wednesday appearance on 'First Take' — the same day news of Sharpe's firing broke — Johnson, 47, said he'll be in the studio for the 2025 NFL season. Sharpe had been off the air for ESPN since April. 4 Shannon Sharpe attends ESPN First Take at Clark Atlanta University on November 8, 2024 in Atlanta, Georgia.

In her complaint, the plaintiff — who is more than 30 years younger than him — alleges Sharpe brutally sexually assaulted her several times at the end of 2024 and the beginning of 2025. Sharpe was sued a day before Front Office Sports reported that he was poised to sign a deal for his 'Club Shay Shay' podcast that would exceed $100 million after his contract with Colin Cowherd's The Volume podcast network expired. He began appearing on 'First Take' in the fall of 2023 following his FS1 exit.

Bills' perfect Micah Parsons trade proposal to Cowboys
The post Bills' perfect Micah Parsons trade proposal to Cowboys appeared first on ClutchPoints. The NFL world has been set ablaze as Micah Parsons, one of football's fiercest pass rushers, has reached a public and irreparable impasse with the Dallas Cowboys front office. With contract negotiations having broken down and ownership stonewalling Parsons' agent, the All-Pro defender dropped a bombshell: a formal trade request, delivered personally to Cowboys executive Stephen Jones. This shockwave sent teams scrambling to work out just how much they'd pay for the rare chance to land a player of Parsons' generational caliber. As of today, the Buffalo Bills are among the front-running contenders, armed with a Super Bowl-ready roster, a clear need for a game-destroying defender, and a front office known for bold, win-now moves. But as interest skyrockets league-wide, the Bills must craft the kind of blockbuster proposal that Jerry Jones, reluctant as he is to trade a superstar, cannot turn down. The Micah Parsons Situation Parsons' standoff with Dallas has been brewing for months, even as he enters the final year of his rookie contract. The breakdown came after the Cowboys interpreted direct, in-person conversations between Parsons and Jerry Jones as meaningful negotiation sessions. Parsons disagreed, wanting his agent to lead the process, only to find Jones refusing to engage. The frustration swelled as other elite pass-rushers, Myles Garrett and T.J. Watt, reset the market with massive deals. Parsons watched, waiting for Dallas to act. No talks came. His prime years should have been spent anchoring Dallas' defense. Still, a toxic stalemate around his extension, reportedly expected to top $40 million annually, saw communication break down entirely, with the Cowboys refusing to deal directly with his agent and opting for silence rather than negotiation. Now, Parsons is at a crossroads, a homegrown star, four-time Pro Bowler, Defensive Player of the Year candidate, and one of only two players in NFL history with 12+ sacks in each of his first four seasons. Parsons' value, both on and off the field, is staggering, and the price to land him will reflect that. Buffalo sits on the edge of championship glory. With Josh Allen in his prime, a retooled receiving corps, and a defense loaded with veterans and young talent, the one missing piece is a true game-wrecker off the edge. Parsons fits the bill perfectly, offering the kind of instant impact that could vault the Bills past the Chiefs and Ravens in the AFC arms race. The Bills' Perfect Trade Proposal to the Cowboys for Parsons The Bills' best offer will reflect the magnitude of acquiring such a player, focusing solely on draft capital given the Cowboys' cap situation and forward-looking philosophy. Bills Receive: Edge/LB Micah Parsons Cowboys Receive: 2026 1st-round pick 2027 1st-round pick 2026 3rd-round pick 2027 4th-round pick This offer reflects both Parsons' status as one of the most dominant defenders in the NFL and the escalating price of pass-rush talent. He is younger and more productive than Khalil Mack was at the time of his blockbuster trade, with every sign pointing to even greater heights ahead. For the Cowboys, this haul lets Dallas reload, including the ammunition to find a blue-chip replacement for Parsons and rebuild a defense suddenly gutted of superstar power. Two first-round picks are the league's gold standard; additional Day 2 and Day 3 assets sweeten the pot with future flexibility. For the Bills, they get an instant Defensive Player of the Year candidate to pair with an already-elite unit and make at least a two-year run (before the franchise tag could force further action) without giving up anyone from its win-now roster. Parsons' cap hit is manageable in 2025, and hard decisions on young players can wait another year. For Parsons, he lands on a contender, removes himself from the chaos in Dallas, and fast-tracks his path to the mega-extension he's earned—while bringing championship aspirations to Western New York. This blockbuster deal would dramatically reshape the AFC title picture, instantly making Buffalo's defense one of the league's most feared and putting pressure on rivals to respond. It would also signal a new era for Dallas, who would need to shift strategy and focus on building through the draft after finally moving on from one of the franchise's greatest homegrown talents in a generation. With Dallas in transition, Buffalo viewing its championship window as wide open, and Parsons making it abundantly clear he's done wearing the star, this is the proposal that gets it done. All eyes now turn to the Jones family—and a front office that, for once, might be forced to let go of a talent it simply couldn't hold onto.

Bills' Sean McDermott issues 4-word practice update on James Cook
The post Bills' Sean McDermott issues 4-word practice update on James Cook appeared first on ClutchPoints. The Buffalo Bills officially reported to training camp at St. John Fisher University in Rochester, NY, on July 22, and somewhat surprisingly, running back James Cook is there. The Pro Bowl runner wants a new contract, and a camp holdout seemed likely. However, head coach Sean McDermott says the back is not only present, 'He's ready to go.' 'Sean McDermott said that he does anticipate RB James Cook practicing today. 'He's ready to go,'' ESPN's Alaina Getzenberg reported on Wednesday. Cook, a 2022 second-round pick out of Georgia, is in the fourth and final year of his rookie deal and will make $5.7 million in 2025. That makes him the 17th-highest-paid RB in the league this season, which is well under where he ranks in terms of production. Last year, during the Bills' run to the AFC Championship Game, Cook rushed for 1,009 yards and scored 16 touchdowns, the most in the league. He also made his second Pro Bowl. The careers of NFL running backs are short these days, and the Bills star knows this all too well. His brother, Dalvin, was a four-time Pro Bowler with the Minnesota Vikings from 2019-22. He signed a big, five-year, $63 million contract in 2020, but the Vikes released him after the 2022 season, so he never saw that full payday. Now, while Dalvin is still a few days shy of his 30th birthday (Aug. 10), he has had just eight carries in the last two seasons and is currently on the Dallas Cowboys' practice squad. All this is to say that the Cook family knows that running backs have to get their money while they can, because the life of an NFL running back is a tough one. However, it looks like James Cook is choosing not to play hardball for now on a Bills team with major Super Bowl aspirations. This is huge for Buffalo as Josh Allen and company are much better with James Cook than without him. Still, Bills training camp is just getting underway, so it is worth watching to see if the RB stays 'ready to go' as the preseason rolls on and the risk of injury without a long-term extension becomes more significant.
