Report: Cowboys dock Trevon Diggs $500,000 for not rehabbing with the team enough
Cowboys cornerback Trevon Diggs will lose $500,000 from his base salary for not rehabbing at the team facility enough. Calvin Watkins of the Dallas Morning News reports the Cowboys will enforce the de-escelator in Diggs' contract that stipulated he participate in 84.375 percent of the offseason program at the team facility. Thus, Diggs' base salary will go from $9 million to $8.5 million for 2025. The team had the option of not enforcing the clause, and Diggs is believed to be the first Cowboys' player to see his base salary lowered because of it. Dallas places base-salary de-escalator clauses in its large contracts, all but guaranteeing participation in the offseason program. 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. He could miss most or all of the 2025 season. Cowboys owner Jerry Jones publicly rebuked Diggs for his previous rehab, which was away from the team facility. Diggs, a two-time Pro Bowler who led the NFL with 11 interceptions in 2021, has played only 13 games the past two seasons with three interceptions.

Trevon Diggs aims to return for season opener
Cowboys cornerback Trevon Diggs is rehabbing his left knee after undergoing chondral bone graft surgery Jan. 23, which entails transplanting pieces of bone tissue into the joint to stimulate growth. While he was expected to miss most, if not all, of the 2025 season, Diggs told Calvin Watkins of the Dallas Morning News that his goal is to return in time to play Week 1. Diggs, who tore the anterior cruciate ligament in the same knee during a Week 3 practice in 2023, is rehabbing in Miami. He is attending the team's mandatory minicamp this week, though he is not cleared for on-field work. Diggs twice has made the Pro Bowl, but he has played only 13 games combined the past two seasons because of his knee injuries.

Trevon Diggs in danger of losing $500,000 for not rehabbing at team facility
Trevon Diggs is in danger of missing the 2025 season with a left knee injury. He also is in danger of losing $500,000 from his base salary for not rehabbing at the 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.

Morgan Moses had offseason surgery on knee injury from Week 3
New Patriots tackle Morgan Moses has yet to participate in full-team drills during the offseason program. He has a very good reason for it. Via Mike Reiss of Moses said he's recovering from offseason surgery to repair a knee injury. 'Just pacing things out,' Moses said. While playing for the Jets last season, Moses suffered an MCL sprain and a bone bruise during a Week 3 Thursday night win. He missed two games at the time. He also was inactive for the regular-season finale against the Dolphins. A third-round pick of the Commanders in 2014, the 34-year-old Morgan spent seven years in Washington before playing for the Jets in 2021 and again in 2024. In 2022 and 2023, Moses played for the Ravens. He signed a three-year, $24 million free-agent contract with the Patriots in March. He's one of several veteran players the Patriots have brought to town as they continue to try to return to contender status in the AFC.

Cowboys pleased with Trevon Diggs' rehab this time after previous frustrations
Cowboys cornerback Trevon Diggs tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee during a Week 3 practice in 2023. During the rehab process, he did not rehab at the team facility full time. 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, suggesting his missed time at the team facility could have made him 'more subject' to re-injuring the knee. 'He's working hard,' Jones said last week, via Calvin Watkins of the Dallas Morning News. 'That's very important, because if he will be very good and diligent as to his rehab process, then he'll get back quicker, and he will arrive when he does get back, sounder than if he has not worked as hard. He's more subject to injury. He's learned that one time. My point is, I have a lot of hope that his actual rehab and experience from the time before is really helping him out, and I think it has.' Diggs returned for the start of the 2024 season after missing 15 games in 2023. He played 11 games before his most recent knee injury. His 2025 season is in question. Diggs, who twice has made the Pro Bowl, had his $9 million base salary for 2025 become fully guaranteed in March. 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.
