Well, that didn't take long. No more than 24 hours after the Dallas Cowboys released Trevon Diggs, Diggs has found a new home.
Diggs has joined the Green Bay Packers, who were awarded the former All-Pro cornerback on waivers, per ESPN's Adam Schefter. That means Diggs and Micah Parsons are reunited following a brief split after Parsons was traded to the Packers in August.
This was the expected outcome, especially after news broke on Tuesday that Diggs hired David Mulugheta to represent him after his release. Mulugheta also happens to be Parsons' agent.

Trevon Diggs reunites with Micah Parsons on the Packers following Cowboys release
It's not surprising that Diggs failed to clear waivers. While he's four years removed from his All-Pro campaign, he has a lot of connections around the NFL, and cornerback depth is at a premium with the playoffs just one week away.
The Packers claiming Diggs means they'll be on the hook for his contract. According to ESPN's Field Yates, Diggs is owed $472,000 in base salary this week and an additional $58,823 if he's active for Green Bay's game against the Vikings.
Short of reuniting with Dan Quinn in Washington or with Al Harris in Chicago, Diggs couldn't have scripted a better outcome than joining the Packers. Not only does he share a locker room with his best friend again, but Green Bay has already clinched a playoff berth.

Whether Diggs will play himself onto the field remains to be seen, but the Packers have a glaring need at cornerback after they lost Nate Hobbs (knee) and Kamal Hadden (ankle) to injuries in Week 17.
The red carpet is certainly laid out for Diggs to carve out a role for himself, but defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley runs a buttoned-up operation. More importantly, Green Bay has run zone on over 78 percent of plays this season, which is the eighth-most in the league. It's no secret that Diggs had a gripe with how much zone he had to play under Matt Eberflus.
That could throw a wrench into the reunion, but for now, Diggs has to be smiling from ear to ear. He may not be guaranteed a future in Green Bay beyond the 2025 season, but reuniting with Parsons had to trump every other potential landing spot.
