Cowboys reduce Trevon Diggs’ salary for not working out enough with the team - Calvin Watkins, DMN
The Cowboys and Trevon Diggs are still not on the same page.
When Cowboys cornerback Trevon Diggs reports to training camp Sunday, he’ll do so without $500,000 of his salary.
Team officials will deduct $500,000 from Diggs’ $9 million base salary for his failure to complete at least 84% of his offseason workouts, a person with knowledge of Diggs’ contract told The Dallas Morning News. Diggs’ agent did not respond when asked for comment about the salary deduction.
Club officials had the option of not enforcing the clause in the contract. Some players have workout clauses in their contracts as a bonus for attending a certain percentage of sessions, or a penalty for not doing so.
Instead of doing a majority of his rehab work at The Star with team medical officials, he elected to do it away from the facility. Diggs has not told the media what his issues are with the team’s medical staff.
