Trevon Diggs in danger of losing $500,000 for not rehabbing at team facility
Todd Archer of ESPN reports that Diggs has not been at the team facility, opting instead to rehab in Miami.
Diggs' contract stipulates that he must take part in 84.375 percent of the offseason program in order to avoid a $500,000 de-escalator.
The Cowboys' mandatory minicamp is next week, and Diggs would be subject to fines for missing the three-day sessions. Executive vice president Stephen Jones, though, said he expects Diggs at The Star next week.
The Cowboys place base-salary de-escalator clauses in their large contracts, which all but guarantees participation in the offseason program.
Per Archer, Diggs is believed to be the first player who could see his base salary lowered if the Cowboys enforce the clause.
Diggs tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee during a Week 3 practice in 2023. Diggs now is rehabbing the same knee after chondral bone graft surgery Jan. 23, which entails transplanting pieces of bone tissue into the joint to stimulate growth.
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones publicly rebuked Diggs for his previous rehab, which was away from the team facility.
Coach Brian Schottenheimer had a positive update Tuesday about Diggs' current rehab.
'It's going good,' Schottenheimer said. 'I talked to Trevon last week. He's down in Miami doing some training. No timeline for the return. He had to come back a couple of weeks ago to get checked out by the doc. All signs are positive.'
Diggs, who twice has made the Pro Bowl, has a $9 million base salary for 2025. He has a salary cap hit of $12.5 million this season and next season is due a base salary of $14.5 million with an $18.4 million cap hit.

Positive Points Charter Communications Inc (NASDAQ:CHTR) added 500,000 Spectrum mobile lines in Q2, marking a growth of nearly 25% over the last 12 months. The company reported improved Internet customer losses, decreasing from 149,000 last year to 117,000 this quarter. Charter's new pricing and packaging launched last September continues to yield positive results, including a higher number of total products sold and a doubled gig attach rate. The inclusion of Hulu in traditional packages and the upcoming launch of ESPN Unlimited and FOX One enhances the video product offering. Charter's long-term MVNO relationship with T-Mobile is expected to enhance Spectrum Mobile growth and provide a tailwind to free cash flow growth. Negative Points Despite improvements, Charter still experienced a decline in Internet customers, losing 117,000 in Q2. The operating environment remains competitive, with higher levels of non-pay Internet churn impacting results. Residential revenue declined by 0.4% year-over-year, partly due to a higher mix of non-video customers and growth of lower-priced video packages. Second quarter advertising revenue declined by 6.7%, reflecting a challenging national and local advertising market. Charter's free cash flow declined by $250 million year-over-year, primarily due to higher cash taxes, higher cash interest, and a working capital headwind related to mobile handsets. Q & A Highlights Q: Can you discuss the new MVNO deal with T-Mobile and its implications for your relationship with Verizon? A: Christopher Winfrey, President and CEO, explained that Charter has entered a strategic relationship with T-Mobile to expand its mobile offerings to small, medium, and large businesses. This complements their existing partnership with Verizon, which remains strong. The T-Mobile deal allows Charter to sell more lines and enhance its market presence in the business segment. The residential business with Verizon continues to be strategic for both parties. Q: Could you provide more details on the impact of the recent tax reform on your financials and how you plan to use the cash tax savings? A: Jessica Fischer, CFO, noted that the new tax legislation will save Charter several billion dollars in cash taxes over the next five years, enhancing free cash flow. The savings will support ongoing investments in the business, including network expansion and the Cox transaction. The company expects to see a significant increase in free cash flow per share as a result. Q: What factors contributed to the improvement in video subscriber trends, and how do you see the video offer evolving? A: Christopher Winfrey highlighted that the improvement in video trends is due to higher sales, lower churn, and better upgrades. The company is focusing on providing value through bundled packages that include streaming apps and live TV, enhancing the overall customer experience. The integration of Xumo for unified search and discovery is also expected to improve the video product's utility. Q: How are you managing the integration of Cox Communications, particularly regarding customer pricing and packaging? A: Christopher Winfrey stated that Charter has experience integrating companies with higher starting ARPU for broadband. The strategy involves offering more value to customers through better pricing and bundling options, including mobile services. The goal is to maintain financial stability while enhancing customer satisfaction and retention. Q: With increased fiber investments from competitors, are you reconsidering your multi-year CapEx outlook? A: Christopher Winfrey confirmed that Charter's CapEx outlook remains unchanged. The company is confident in its network upgrade strategy, which includes fiber on demand capabilities. While there will be some participation in new rural build opportunities, the overall size of these opportunities is smaller due to previous expansions.
