Packers' Trevon Diggs: Move to Green Bay official

The Packers officially claimed Diggs off waivers from the Cowboys on Wednesday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Diggs will still need to pass a physical before joining the Green Bay roster, but that seems to be a foregone conclusion. Green Bay is headed to the postseason as the No. 7 seed in the NFC, so Diggs could be a major acquisition even if he doesn't play Week 18 against Minnesota. The Packers placed cornerback Nate Hobbs on injured reserve Wednesday, so Diggs should eventually help fill that void. Green Bay will assume the remainder of the five-year, $97 million extension Diggs inked with Dallas in the summer of 2023, though the 27-year-old's deal contains no guaranteed money after the 2025 season, making him a potential cut candidate this offseason.
