The Green Bay Packers tried to get something out of Trevon Diggs.
In the end, they didn't get much. The Packers released Diggs on Tuesday, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. He'll become a free agent.
Diggs played in one game at the end of the regular season after joining the Packers from the Dallas Cowboys, making a pair of tackles.
He also played in the Packers' season-ending loss in the playoffs to the Chicago Bears, making a single tackle.
Diggs is still just 27 years old and will have to prove to a suitor that he deserves a chance to shine again after a troubling recent tenure in the NFL.

Why did the Packers release Trevon Diggs?
Clearly, the Packers felt Diggs wasn't good enough to help them.
They got a look at him in their building and on the field, and didn't play him much. That likely tells you most of what you need to know, and the release confirms that Diggs didn't grab the Packers' attention in any major way.
Diggs broke into the NFL as a star, with three interceptions in his rookie season, followed by an absurd 11 in his second campaign.
He made 20 interceptions across his first five seasons.

In 2025, with eight games in Dallas and then one in Green Bay in the regular season, he didn't intercept a single pass or even record a pass defensed.
Injuries and potential vibes problems led to the end of Diggs' time in Dallas, and he hasn't lasted long in Green Bay.
It'll take some optimism for a team to look at Diggs and see a player they want in their building.
