{ "title": "Cowboys' Christmas Rift Revealed: Trevon Diggs Lands with Packers, Micah Parsons Hints at Reunion", "article": "The Green Bay Packers have claimed former Dallas Cowboys cornerback Trevon Diggs on waivers, marking the end of his tumultuous tenure with the Cowboys. The move comes after a Christmas Day rift between Diggs and the team's coaching staff was revealed. A day after the Packers' claim, Micah Parsons, Diggs' former teammate and close friend, took to social media to tease a potential reunion. "We are back," Parsons tweeted, fueling speculation that the two could share the field once again when Parsons returns from an ACL injury. According to NFL insider Jordan Schultz, Diggs' release was sparked by a request to coach Brian Schottenheimer to stay in Washington after the team's Christmas game, which was denied. The Christmas incident was one of several factors that led to Diggs' departure, Schottenheimer said. The Packers are set to enter the postseason with major concerns in their secondary, including the loss of Nate Hobbs due to a knee injury and Kamal Hadden, who has been ruled out for the year with an ankle issue. Diggs' addition could provide a much-needed boost to the team's cornerback position. Diggs' time in Dallas was marked by a peak in 2021, when he led the NFL with 11 interceptions and scored twice on returns. However, his production has since declined, with only six interceptions across his last 38 games. Despite this, his partnership with Parsons was a key factor in the Cowboys' success in the early 2020s, including three consecutive 12-win seasons and a top-seven finish in scoring defense each year. Both defenders earned first-team All-Pro recognition in 2021, ending a decade-long drought for the franchise."
