The tension inside the Dallas Cowboys locker room has reached a breaking point ā and this time, itās star cornerback Trevon Diggs taking center stage in an emotional plea that has shaken both teammates and fans alike.

On Friday evening, Diggs took to social media with a message that was as raw as it was revealing, addressing head coach Brian Schottenheimer directly in what many believe could be his final attempt to save his Cowboys career.
āCoach, I know I havenāt been the same. I know Iāve let people down. But Iām not done. Just give me one more shot ā one more game to prove Iām still that guy.ā
The post, timestamped 6:04 PM CDT, comes after weeks of internal whispers suggesting that Diggsā role with the team had been quietly diminished following his uneven performances and rising frustrations within the locker room. Once seen as the face of the Cowboysā defense, the 26-year-old now finds himself fighting for the very jersey he once wore with pride.
Sources close to the organization confirmed that Diggs was visibly emotional during practice earlier this week, and had privately apologized to several teammates, including Dak Prescott and Stephon Gilmore, for what he described as ānot bringing the right energy.ā
The Cowboysā 2025 season, now teetering at 1ā4, has been marred by inconsistency, injuries, and internal rifts ā a sharp contrast to the Super Bowl aspirations the franchise carried just months ago. For Diggs, who signed a five-year, $97 million extension in 2023, this year has been his toughest test yet.
Once celebrated for his ball-hawking instincts and his record-breaking 11 interceptions in 2021, Diggs has seen his production dip drastically. Analysts have noted a visible drop in his aggression and focus ā traits that once made him one of the leagueās most feared defenders.
A former Cowboys assistant told The Athletic anonymously:
āTrevonās got the talent, no question. But something changed after that injury last season. Heās been searching for his spark ever since. This message⦠this is him trying to find it again.ā
Whether or not Schottenheimer responds publicly remains to be seen. But one thing is clear ā the clock is ticking. With a crucial divisional matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles looming this Sunday, Diggsā future could hinge on the next few days.
For now, his message stands as more than just a post. Itās a desperate, human cry for redemption ā from a player who once soared among the NFLās elite, now fighting to prove that his star hasnāt faded just yet.
