Trevon Diggs summed up exactly how Cowboys fans felt after the Micah Parsons trade

In a blockbuster NFL trade, and perhaps one of the most stunning trades in recent NFL history, the Dallas Cowboys traded star LB Micah Parsons to the Green Bay Packers on Thursday. After weeks of contention between Parsons and the organization, Jerry Jones finally pulled the trigger and dealt his star defensive player to the conference rival Packers.

The trade sent shock waves around the league and the Cowboys locker room. Most expected Dallas and Parsons to ultimately reconcile because you just don't see stars like him get traded while still under team control for multiple years.

Former Alabama CB Trevon Diggs, now entering his sixth year with the Cowboys, sent out a post on Twitter shortly after the deal was announced with one simple emoji that perfectly sums up exactly what Cowboys fans are feeling in the aftermath of the trade:

Could the Parsons trade signal the end of Trevon Diggs in Dallas?

Trevon Diggs has endured similar scrutiny from Jerry Jones this offseason that Parsons did. Diggs was criticized by the front office for rehabbing his knee injury away from the Cowboys' facility in 2023, and ultimately docked $500,000 in base pay for doing it again this offseason after undergoing surgery.

“We expect a player paid like Trevon to be here all the time. We expect him to be leading,” Jerry Jones said. “That’s not new. That goes all the way back to Deion [Sanders]. Deion was not necessarily given to come to the weight room. I explained to him that it meant a lot for him to be in there. . . . It needs to have some show with it."

Diggs signed a 5-year, $97 million contract extension with the Cowboys in 2023. But the extension was really just a two-year deal. The Cowboys can cut Diggs after this season and only have $5.8 million in dead-money on the books. That drops $2.9 million a year later.

Could Diggs follow Parsons' lead and ask out next? If things go south for the Cowboys this year - and they sure look like they might - then maybe Diggs asks for a trade before the deadline to have an opportunity to play out his prime years for an organization that is serious about winning right now.

Diggs is still just 26 years old and he's one of the premier ballhawking cornerbacks in the NFL. He has picked off 20 passes in his five years in the league, including a league-leading 11 interceptions in 2021.
