"The biggest remaining wildcard on the market is Trevon Diggs. He propelled himself to All-Pro superstardom under Quinn's guidance, and his drop-off was just as alarming when his old coordinator joined the Commanders. Injuries didn't help, leaving the Dallas Cowboys with no option but to release him late in the 2025 campaign."
"Diggs was claimed off waivers by the Green Bay Packers, but this was just as an insurance policy. He didn't get much of a look, and the former Alabama star remains on the proverbial scrapheap. This is a damning indictment of how the league views his recent trajectory, but he's still young enough at 27 to bounce back in the right fit."
The Washington Commanders successfully addressed multiple needs in free agency under general manager Adam Peters. With the defense requiring significant rebuilding after ranking last in 2025, new defensive coordinator Daronte Jones will implement a more creative and aggressive scheme. The team has released Marshon Lattimore and lost other cornerbacks to free agency, leaving cornerback depth as a critical concern heading into the draft. Trevon Diggs, a former All-Pro under Dan Quinn's defensive system in Dallas, remains available after being released by the Cowboys and claimed by Green Bay. At 27 years old, Diggs could provide experienced depth and familiarity with Quinn's defensive demands, offering a potential low-risk, high-reward opportunity for the Commanders.
