A former Packers cornerback signs with Super Bowl champion Seahawks

Trevon Diggs’ arrival to the Green Bay Packers late last season was a low risk move but it still was met some fanfare.

After all, he was a former All-Pro cornerback and viewed not too long ago as one of the game’s best defensive backs. When the Packers signed him ahead of the team’s Week 18 game, which ultimately was done as insurance following injuries to its defense, it formed a reunion between Diggs and Micah Parsons from their days together with the Dallas Cowboys.

“We’re back,” Parsons tweeted at the time.

But the two weren’t back together on the field since Parsons was out for the year with a torn ACL injury that he suffered a couple weeks earlier.

And the reunion between the two friends within the organization was brief. The Packers chose not to re-sign the free agent Diggs in the offseason as they looked elsewhere to restock the position with the free agent signing of Benjamin St-Juste and the selection of second-round pick Brandon Cisse in the 2026 NFL Draft.

Diggs had remained a free agent as well until Wednesday, Aug. 19.

With two weeks remaining in training camp and three weeks before the new season kicks off, the 27-year-old has signed with the reigning Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks.

The team announced the signing on Wednesday, Aug. 19. Diggs’ new contract is for one year, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

Diggs will join a unit that propelled the Seahawks to a Super Bowl victory.

The Seahawks had the sixth-ranked defense in 2025, including the top-ranked scoring defense, third-ranked run defense and 10th-ranked passing defense.

Diggs’ stint with the Packers in 2025 was brief.

He played in only two games and his impact and time on the field was minimal. He had two tackles in the Packers’ 16-3 Week 18 loss to the Minnesota Vikings on Jan. 4. A majority of the Packers’ starters sat in the regular season finale with their playoff position secured ahead of the game.

Diggs then had one tackle in the Packers’ 31-27 wild-card playoff loss to the Chicago Bears on Jan. 10.

The Packers signed Diggs on Dec. 31 a day after his release from the Cowboys with cornerback Nate Hobbs lost for the year due to injury.

The Seahawks will hope they can get the player Diggs used to be earlier in his career. In his second NFL season, Diggs led the league and set a Cowboys record with 11 interceptions in 2021. He earned first-team All-Pro recognition.

He had a second Pro Bowl season in 2022.

In his first three seasons in the NFL, he played in 45 games.

But he has played in only 22 games over the last three seasons.

An assortment of injuries have hampered Diggs. A torn ACL limited Diggs to only two games in 2023. After playing in 11 in 2024, Diggs saw the field only eight times for the Cowboys in 2025. They released him following Week 17.

In 67 games in his career, Diggs has 242 tackles, 63 passes defended and 20 interceptions with more than half coming in one season.
