Cowboys EVP Stephen Jones on Trevon Diggs’ $500K salary reduction: ‘We’re paying a price, too’ - Grant Gordon, NFL.com
Stephen Jones doubled down on the criticism of Trevon Diggs working out this offseason outside of the team facility.
The two-time Pro Bowler was surprised by the enforcement of the clause, but Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones explained Tuesday that the team believes Diggs would be closer to returning had he rehabbed with the club.
“He certainly paid a price for not being here,” Jones told 105.3 The Fan, via The Athletic’s Jon Machota, ”but we’re paying a price, too, because we felt like he might be further along had he done his rehab here. He may differ with that. But had he done his rehab here, we feel strongly that he might be further along. That’s in the best interest of the team and the organization that comes with getting a big contract, which he received.”
