Before the season Diggs signed a 5-year $97 million extension which included a $21.25 million signing bonus and $42.3 million in guaranteed money.
Through two games this season, Diggs recorded six total tackles, three pass breakups, one interception and one forced fumble. Diggs is a big part of the Cowboys’ success defensively as the unit currently sits as the top-ranked defense in the NFL allowing just 10 points per game.
Diggs had previously missed four games during the 2020 season with a foot injury and has missed just one game each of the past two seasons where he was a Pro Bowl selection from the Cowboys.
Diggs originally entered the league in 2020 as a second-round selection and has made 46 starts our of 47 possible games for the Cowboys.
