The Dallas Cowboys are looking to have a remarkable 2023 NFL season. After not succeeding last season, the team’s front office is making significant changes to the roster. One of the biggest moves they have made is signing elite cornerback Trevon Diggs to a lucrative 5-year deal.
Diggs, 24, was entering the fourth year of his rookie contract. He is a two-time Pro Bowler and one-time All-Pro, having 17 interceptions and scoring two defensive touchdowns in his three seasons as part of the Cowboys’ secondary.
The contract is worth $97 million in base salary and can become worth up to $104 million in incentives. The deal makes Diggs one of the highest-paid cornerbacks in the NFL.
The Cowboys are hoping that Diggs will help them reach the Super Bowl in 2023. They are also making other changes to the roster in an effort to improve their chances of winning.
Diggs’ Signing Expected to Make Major Impact on Cowboys’ Defense
- The Cowboys’ defense was one of the worst in the NFL last season. They allowed the most passing yards in the league, and they were 27th in points allowed.
- Diggs is expected to be a major upgrade to the Cowboys’ secondary. He is a physical cornerback who is good at making plays on the ball.
- The Cowboys are also hoping that Diggs’ signing will help them attract other free agents to the team. They are trying to build a championship roster, and they believe that Diggs is a key piece of that puzzle.
The Cowboys are under pressure to succeed this season after not living up to expectations in recent years. They have made some big moves this offseason, and they are hoping that those moves will pay off in the form of a Super Bowl appearance.
