The Dallas Cowboys are navigating a complex landscape as they prepare for the new season under head coach Brian Schottenheimer. With cornerback Trevon Diggs recovering from an ACL injury, the team's recent third-round draft pick, Shavon Revel Jr., is seen as a potential replacement, tapping into his first-round talent status despite his injury history. Meanwhile, trade rumors surround Diggs, who is currently under a $97 million contract. While some sources suggest a possible trade to the Kansas City Chiefs, questions linger regarding the viability of acquiring a player who may not significantly impact the team due to injury recovery.

The Cowboys face further challenges with salary cap management, especially with anticipated extensions for stars like Micah Parsons, projected to be worth around $40 million annually. Meanwhile, cornerback DaRon Bland’s emergence complicates matters for Diggs, whose contract has no guarantees beyond this season. If Dallas opts to part ways with him, they could save significant cap space. The situation remains fluid, with the team weighing its options carefully as offseason strategies unfold.
