NFL Network insider Jane Slater confirmed that it was a cursed home improvement project that seemingly foretold All-Pro cornerback Trevon Diggs\u2019 shocking release from the Dallas Cowboys.<\/p>\n
The sudden end to a massive five-year, $97 million extension and the kind of financial commitment that was supposed to anchor the league\u2019s secondary didn\u2019t result solely from a general manager\u2019s cold calculation \u2014 but rather from a “failed handyman” tragedy that unraveled a defensive superstar’s tenure.<\/p>\n
Slater reported on Tuesday that the Cowboys officially waived Diggs just one game prior to the end of the regular season. The roster-shattering news destroyed the Cowboys\u2019 defensive continuity, and the entire tragedy can be traced back to a freak mid-October accident involving a ceiling-mounted television \u2014 a moment that derailed a comeback campaign already struggling for air.<\/p>\n
“Trevon Diggs just called me to tell me the #Cowboys have released him,” she posted<\/a>. “While he says he will miss his time in Dallas, he assures me he is healthy and motivated as he looks to join another team looking for another piece to add this postseason.”<\/p>\n Recently, reports surfaced detailing the bizarre circumstances that sidelined Diggs for eight games. Diggs humorously referred to himself as a “failed handyman” after a television he was attempting to install crashed down on his head, cementing the dark, comedic theory that this off-field blunder doomed his career in Dallas.<\/p>\n Cowboys CB Trevon Diggs said he got concussed earlier this season trying to install a TV on ceiling and it fell on his head, per @SlaterNFL<\/a>.<\/p>\n Diggs said he "was trying to be a handyman." pic.twitter.com\/pmazQvhIwF<\/a><\/p>\n — Underdog NFL (@UnderdogNFL) December 21, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\nEnd of Trevon Diggs Time<\/h2>\n
