The Cowboys and Trevon Diggs are finalizing a five-year, $97 million contract extension that includes a $21.25 million contract extension, according to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero.
Diggs will earn $19.4 million per year within the new deal with the opportunity to secure $104 million in incentives. The two-time Pro Bowler has registered 17 interceptions and two touchdowns in three seasons in Dallas’s secondary.
Prior to earning a new extension, the 24-year-old was set to enter the final season of his contract. Diggs, who was drafted by Dallas in the second round of the 2020 NFL draft out of Alabama, signed a four-year, $6.32 million deal that included a $2.157 million signing bonus.

Now, with the new extension, Diggs will earn the same amount as the Saints’ elite cornerback Marshon Lattimore and becomes one of the highest-paid cornerbacks in the league. The Cowboys secure a key piece in their secondary as training camp begins in Oxnard, Calif.
With the new deal, Diggs will be unrestricted free agent in ’29.
Last season, Digg recorded 59 tackles, three interceptions, a fumble recovery and 14 pass deflections in 17 games.
