Cowboys sign Trevon Diggs for $97 million

[bileever]

What do you think of this signing? The Cowboys are giving Diggs $19.4 million a year over 5 years:

The Dallas Cowboys signed cornerback Trevon Diggs to a five-year $97 million contract extension.

Is he worth Jalen Ramsey money? People are very split about the Diggs. Yes, he had 11 interception in 2021, but only 3 last year. In 2021, he also got burned a lot, giving up 1,016 yards, the most of any cornerback in the league. PFF ranked him as the 42nd CB last year. Another puzzling Dallas decision.

It seems crazy. Am I reading this wrong?

No you're not crazy . That's Jerruh being Jerruh.

He does ridiculous things.

They've ripped up his contract and replaced it with a 3 year $44M contract. They can get out of it after year 2 at $34M if things go wrong. The rest of it is smoke and mirrors. It's considerably less than Spotrac projected:
