Current Free-Agent Workout
The Seattle Seahawks held a workout with free-agent cornerback Trevon Diggs, as reported in the NFL’s personnel notice. The team remains active in the market after earlier agreeing to terms with free-agent Terrion Arnold, who has not yet signed and could be placed on the commissioner’s exempt list. The Diggs workout follows a recent Lions session, indicating multiple clubs are assessing his availability.
Injury Timeline and Recovery
Diggs, 27, entered free agency after the Green Bay Packers released him following two games and 34 defensive snaps. His decline in performance is linked to a series of knee injuries that began in 2023. He tore his ACL in September 2023, underwent an additional knee surgery in December 2024, and in January 2025 received a chondral tissue and bone-graft procedure on his left knee to address persistent cartilage damage. Over the past three seasons he has appeared in only 22 games.
Career Production and Highlights
During the 2021 season, Diggs led the league with 11 interceptions, earning All-Pro honors and a Pro Bowl selection. He was a second-round pick by the Dallas Cowboys in 2020 and repeated as a Pro Bowler the following year. Prior to his injuries, he was regarded as one of the NFL’s top cornerbacks.
Implications for Seattle’s Secondary
Seattle’s defensive backs coach Karl Scott previously coached Diggs at Alabama, and former Seahawks defensive coordinator Aden Durde oversaw him while he was with the Dallas defense. Those connections suggest the organization believes Diggs could fit its scheme if his knee issues are resolved. With the Terrion Arnold situation unresolved, the Seahawks continue to seek reliable cornerback depth to bolster a secondary that has struggled to stay healthy this offseason.
