The $97 Million Deal with Cowboys Gets Axed by Packers After Just One Game, Reveals Desire to Return to Dallas Once More — A Mysterious Letter Sent to President Jerry Jones Shocks the Entire NFL

Foxborough, Massachusetts – January 19, 2026 – It was a moment of pure shock when Trevon Diggs, the cornerback who had signed a $97 million extension with the Dallas Cowboys, was released by Green Bay Packers after just one game. After being waived by the Packers, Diggs immediately expressed his desire to return to his former team, the Dallas Cowboys, and sent a letter to President Jerry Jones that has left the entire NFL in disbelief.

After signing a long-term deal with the Cowboys in July 2023, Trevon Diggs appeared to be an unmovable pillar for the team. However, off-field issues and injuries soon derailed his career. Things seemed to come to an end when the Cowboys decided to release Diggs in late 2025. Instantly, the Green Bay Packers signed him, but after just one game, he was cut loose again.

Diggs played only one game for the Packers in the Wild Card matchup against the Chicago Bears. Despite not making any significant impact, his release immediately after this game took the football world by surprise. His abrupt departure marked the end of a tumultuous chapter in his career.

Before joining the Packers, Diggs' relationship with the Cowboys had been strained. The former Cowboys star had caused controversy when he refused to return to Dallas during the Christmas break in 2025, which created a rift between him and the team’s management.

After being waived by the Packers, Diggs couldn't hide his regret and expressed his wish to return to Dallas. He sent an emotional letter to Jerry Jones, the president of the Cowboys, in which he acknowledged his past mistakes and emphasized his desire to contribute to the team once again. This letter, though not widely published, sparked a significant amount of buzz within the media and NFL community.

In his letter, Diggs wrote:
"I know I've made mistakes in the past with the Cowboys, and I truly regret those poor decisions. But the only thing I want now is to return to Dallas, where I've had amazing memories and given my all for the team. I sent this message to Mr. President Jerry Jones, hoping that I'll get the chance to come back and prove myself once again. Dallas is my home, and I'm ready to fight for the blue and silver."

Diggs' letter sparked an emotional response from Cowboys fans. Many expressed sympathy toward him, while some believed that his past decisions had irreparably damaged his relationship with the team. However, most fans are hopeful that Diggs will get a second chance to make amends and return to Dallas.

With his release from the Packers, Diggs' future is now uncertain. Other teams might show interest in him, but with his off-field issues and injury troubles, can Diggs regain his top form? Returning to Dallas could be his last opportunity to revive his career, but would the Cowboys be willing to open their doors to him once more?

Diggs’ story reflects the challenges NFL players face, not only on the field but in their personal lives as well. Returning to Dallas, where he was once a cornerstone, could be a chance for Diggs to prove that he is more than just a talented player, but someone who can learn and grow from his past mistakes.
