Per Jordan Schultz:
My understanding of the Trevon Diggs situation is this: after the #Cowboys finished their Christmas game vs. the Commanders, Diggs requested with HC Brian Schottenheimer to stay in Washington for the holiday since he’s from the area and his family stays there. Players often ask for — and are usually granted — additional family time during the holidays if the schedule makes sense (Dallas played Thursday).
Schotty denied the request. Diggs again said he wanted to be with his family and that if he went back to Dallas, he’d just be flying right back on the first flight out, especially with players having several days off. The team vehemently denied his request again.
And then today, the team released him. Diggs is healthy and ready to join a new team for the playoffs.
