But it’s OK. Hopefully, I’ll make it back in incentives.”

Trevon Diggs publicly addressed the Dallas Cowboys’ frustration with his offseason decisions, specifically his decision to undergo injury rehab far from the franchise's facilities instead of doing it in-house.

The Cowboys confirmed that they have enforced the de-escalator clause in Trevon Diggs' contract, lowering the cornerback's base salary from $9 million to $8.5 million, because he didn't rehab enough at the team facility.
