The Trevon Diggs era in Dallas ended with a stunner on Tuesday, as the Cowboys waived the former All-Pro cornerback.

Per source, “This was not a result of a specific incident. It was the culmination of multiple factors spread over time, including both performance and other elements. Felt it was best for both Trevon and the Cowboys at this point.” Diggs went into the waiver process, and if he went unclaimed, he would have become a free agent — a rapid turn for a player who signed a $97 million extension in 2023 and still carried significant name value across the league.

Diggs appeared in eight games in 2025 and finished with 25 tackles, but injuries and off-field storylines shaped much of his final stretch in Dallas, including a torn ACL in 2023, knee surgery in January 2025, and another knee injury that landed him on injured reserve in October.

He returned for Week 16 against the Chargers and played his final game as a Cowboy on Christmas Day vs. Washington, closing a six-year run with 240 tackles, 20 interceptions, 63 pass deflections, and two touchdowns, while Dallas, per Spotrac, was set to take on $5.88 million in dead cap in 2026 and save $12.5 million if he cleared waivers.

The 2026 Olympic hockey rosters were finally coming into focus with submissions due Wednesday, and the Dallas Stars were staring at a potentially massive showing in Milan.

Finland already had Mikko Rantanen, Miro Heiskanen, and Esa Lindell in the mix with Roope Hintz looking like a lock, but Team Canada seemed poised to leave Thomas Harley and Wyatt Johnston on the outside looking in.

Radek Faksa emerged as a sneaky Czech pick, Jake Oettinger looked like a no-drama Team USA certainty, and yet Jason Robertson’s red-hot scoring run still carried real “how is this happening?” roster-bubble tension.

Shin-Soo Choo isn’t headed to Cooperstown, Rangers writer Jeff Wilson made the case that this Hall of Fame ballot is exactly where Choo belongs, as the best Korean player in MLB history and a true trailblazer for the next wave.

With a watered-down 2026 newcomer class (and extra room after last year’s inductees came off the ballot), Wilson gave Choo the lone “new addition” checkmark on his 10-man slate despite acknowledging he likely won’t even hit the 5% threshold to stay on future ballots.

The pitch is simple: says the numbers won’t get him in, but the impact will, and someday, a Korean Hall of Famer will point back to Choo as the one who paved the way.

Let Woody in!!!
