Dallas, Texas (PSF) - Earlier this week Dallas Cowboys All-Pro cornerback Trevon Diggs agreed to a 5 year extension worth $97 million, with incentives to increase to $104 million.

This was a deal that Dallas needed to get done before the season. Diggs was only a second round pick three years ago so he did not have a fifth year option that Dallas could’ve placed on him, which would have made Diggs an unrestricted free agent in 2024. Star corners are hard to come by nowadays so when you draft one and they play well you need to pay them whatever they want.

Diggs is the best corner Dallas has had since Deion Sanders. That should go to show you the Cowboys’s lack of having cornerback talent during their historical Super Bowl drought. With Stephon Gilmore now in Dallas, Diggs is only going to get better having a mentor like that. This contract also seems a little pricey but when you realize this makes Diggs the fourth highest paid corner in the league currently then that is tremendous value. There are also elite corners due for a payday in the next couple years like Patrick Surtain, Sauce Gardner and Jaycee Horn, so Diggs’s contract will probably be around the seventh highest in a few years.
