With a potential contract extension looming for the Dallas Cowboys star cornerback, Diggs should be expecting a big payday.

One of the biggest playmakers on the Dallas Cowboys is heading into his final year of his rookie contract in 2023. Cornerback Trevon Diggs, who was selected in the second round of the 2020 NFL draft, does not have a fifth-round option on his deal like WR CeeDee Lamb, who was the team’s first-round pick that year.

Stephen Jones previously expressed his desire to bring back both Lamb and Diggs long-term on 105.3 The Fan.

“We’ve historically signed a lot of guys during that training camp period to extensions. But guys like CeeDee Lamb and Diggs are certainly on our radar in terms of guys that we’d love to have around here for another five, six years, whatever that turns out to be.”

Diggs also previously told The Athletic’s Jon Machota that he hopes he can remain a Cowboy for the foreseeable future.
