Dallas Cowboys Star Threatens Retirement Over Eagles Trade — “I’m Not Wearing Midnight Green”
The Dallas Cowboys are preparing for a franchise-altering move after weeks of internal tension. With speculation swirling about his future, one of their most polarizing stars has now issued the strongest statement yet.
That’s when Trevon Diggs stunned reporters with a vow. “If they trade me to the Eagles, I’ll retire on the spot. I was born in Dallas, and I became a Cowboy here,”
The comments reflect the depth of Dallas’ rivalry with Philadelphia, one of the NFL’s most bitter feuds. For Diggs, wearing Eagles colors isn’t simply unthinkable — it would represent a betrayal of everything he’s stood for.
The 2021 All-Pro led the league in interceptions that season and signed a five-year, $97 million deal in 2023. But declining play, offseason clashes, and recent disciplinary issues pushed Dallas toward a breakup.
Dallas defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus benched Diggs for stretches of Sunday’s game, later stating: “We have a standard here. When players decide they’re bigger than the team, decisions get made for them.”
