It didn't take long for the Washington Commanders to come up among the suitors for cornerback Trevon Diggs after he was released by the Dallas Cowboys. His previous connection to head coach Dan Quinn dictated nothing else, in all honesty. That does not detract from the fact that this would be a high-risk gamble if general manager Adam Peters gave it the green light.
Diggs looked like a genuine superstar during his All-Pro campaign. That was a long time ago now, and injuries derailed his momentum considerably. Couple this with accusations about being a locker room distraction during his final days in Dallas, and a parting of the ways always seemed inevitable.
