Trevon Diggs Issues Plea to Cowboys HC: "Just Give Me One Chance—I’ll Block More Than Ever"

Frisco, TX – September 29, 2025, 3:45 PM CDT

Cornerback Trevon Diggs has reached out with an emotional appeal to Dallas Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer, pleading for a fresh start amid a rocky 2025 season. The 26-year-old veteran took to social media on Monday afternoon to address his current struggles and express his resolve to reclaim his standing with the team.

 

In a direct message posted at 3:34 PM CDT, Diggs wrote:

“I know what’s going on right now. Maybe people don’t like me. Just give me one chance—I’ll block more than I ever have before. I want to prove that I’m worthy of my contract.”

 

This plea comes in the wake of Diggs’ benching during the Cowboys’ Week 4 loss to the Green Bay Packers on Sunday Night Football, a game that left the team at 1-3. Fans and analysts have pointed to his apparent disengagement—highlighted by footage of him ignoring quarterback Dak Prescott’s pregame speech—as a sign of trouble. The situation was compounded by a $500,000 pay cut earlier this year for not meeting the 84% offseason workout participation requirement.

 

Diggs’ words are aimed squarely at Schottenheimer, who succeeded Mike McCarthy as head coach in 2025 and has been tasked with revamping a defense reeling from the loss of Micah Parsons. With the Cowboys’ secondary under scrutiny—featuring rising stars like Reddy Steward and a returning DaRon Bland—Diggs is fighting to restore his reputation as the 2021 NFL interceptions leader (11 picks) who signed a five-year, $97 million deal in 2023.

 

No official response has come from Schottenheimer yet, but Diggs’ timely post—amid growing fan frustration and trade speculation—adds pressure to the mix. As the Cowboys gear up for a crucial Week 5 showdown with the Philadelphia Eagles, all attention will be on whether Schottenheimer offers Diggs the opportunity to prove himself. For now, Diggs’ message stands as a passionate cry to salvage his Cowboys legacy.

Chiefs Linked To Saints Super Star With 5x Pro Bowl & 2x All-Pro in Blockbuster Trade, Per Source
Kansas City, MO — According to a circulating on X (Twitter), the Kansas City Chiefs have been “linked” to Alvin Kamara—the New Orleans Saints superstar, five-time Pro Bowler and two-time All-Pro—as a potential target ahead of the trade deadline. The speculation has heated up as various outlets have also floated Kamara as a logical “fit” should the Chiefs look to add a versatile, late-season playmaker on offense. At 30, Kamara is a rare dual-threat RB who excels as both a runner and receiver. He tied the NFL single-game record with six rushing touchdowns (Christmas Day 2020 vs. the Vikings), and he has recently been recognized as the Saints’ all-time leader in rushing yards. Across his career: 5× Pro Bowl, 2× Second-Team All-Pro, and a skill set tailor-made for Andy Reid’s motion/spacing concepts—screens, angle/choice routes, safe check-downs, and short play-action. Tactically, if a move ever materialized, Kamara would immediately put stress on short-to-intermediate coverages, force defenses to roll a safety, and give Kansas City intriguing two-back looks alongside Isiah Pacheco on 3rd-and-medium and in the red zone. In this hypothetical scenario, Kamara voices a desire for a fresh challenge after hitting so many personal milestones in New Orleans: “I’ve achieved just about everything with the Saints, and I want a new challenge for myself. What could be better than a team competing directly for a Super Bowl? Just thinking about wearing Red and Gold really excites me.” Source: @nflrums X As of now, there has been no official confirmation from the Chiefs or the Saints regarding any talks. Still, Kamara’s résumé and toolbox explain why his name is quickly paired with Kansas City whenever rumors of an offensive upgrade surface. With 5× Pro Bowls, 2× All-Pro honors, and a proven knack for tilting games as both a runner and receiver, even a whisper on social media is enough to make Chiefs Kingdom perk up.
