The Seattle Seahawks will have more insurance at the cornerback position for next season after signing star CB Trevon Diggs on Wednesday.
Diggs was one of the biggest names left in free agency this summer prior to the defending Super Bowl champion Seahawks adding him to their roster. The veteran cornerback has had seasons of note throughout his career since entering the league in 2020. However, his most recent performance in 2025 is the largest indicator of what he will be able to give the Seahawks next season.
Diggs had somewhat of a down year in 2025 playing for the Dallas Cowboys and Green Bay Packers. He went without an interception or a pass breakup for the first time in his career, though he only played in nine games on the year. Diggs previously led the NFL in interceptions in 2021 with 11 and went on a memorable tear in the early part of that season, where he recorded at least one INT in each of the first six games of the year.
The eye test showed that Diggs was not as sharp in 2026 as he was in years prior. The former first-team All-Pro corner allowed 12 yards per target, over three yards more than the 8.8 that he allowed in 2021, which was his previous high mark. He also allowed 16 yards per completion to opposing quarterbacks and was not as precise at containing receivers that were matched up against him.
However, prior to last season, Diggs was always a reliable source of interceptions and passes defensed, as he recorded at least two INT and 11 PD in four of the five seasons prior to that, with the 2023 season being the only one where he did not record those numbers due to playing in only two games that year.
