After the Dallas Cowboys released cornerback Trevon Diggs on Tuesday, the sense is he wants to join a playoff contender. A player on one of those teams quickly jumped into action.
CJ Gardner-Johnson , who has emerged as a key part of the Chicago Bears defense, took to social media to hint at a possible landing spot for Diggs. Of course, it would be a reunion of sorts as former Cowboys defensive backs coach Al Harris is on Ben Johnson’s staff in Chicago.
Diggs had the best year of his career under Harris’ watch in Dallas, recording 11 interceptions – including two pick-sixes – in 2021. In fact, he had 20 picks across his five years with Harris as his position coach, and Gardner-Johnson appears interested in bringing him to Chicago.

Since Harris arrived in Chicago, the Bears have turned the ball over at an impressive rate. Chicago leads the NFL with 32 turnovers, including 22 interceptions.
After the 2022 season, Diggs cashed in with a monster contract. He signed a five-year deal worth $97 million deal, though injuries got in the way of his production. He tore his ACL in 2023 and has missed time with a concussion this year.
