Dallas Cowboys Fans Worrying About Trevon Diggs Decision Danger
Dallas Cowboys Fans Worrying About Trevon Diggs Decision Danger originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
FRISCO - "Ninety percent of success,'' someone once said, "is showing up.''
We're about to see if allegedly wayward Dallas Cowboys cornerback Trevon Diggs is prepared to heed that advice.

The five-year star-quality pro has continued his rehab of a surgically repaired left knee ... but he has done so in Miami.
When head coach Brian Schottenheimer addressed us this week, he made it clear that all parties appear to be on the same page here. He noted that he has spoken with Diggs, who has checked in with team doctors.
"Our understanding is he's getting the work done and he'll be back in, and we'll get a good look at him next week'' at minicamp,'' Schottenheimer said, applying a most positive spin.
But ...
Make no mistake, the wish from the Cowboys side is for Diggs to perform his rehab with the team.

This situation has a similar feel to last offseason when the Cowboys harbored some frustrations with Diggs' approach to his ACL rehab.
What's different now?
According to a stipulation in Diggs' contract, he is in danger of losing $500,000 by virtue of his continued absence from the Cowboys' offseason program. To avoid the fine, he must participate in 84.375% of the club's activities, according to ESPN.
Diggs has missed the first two phases in the offseason program and has yet to take part in OTAs. Those are in fact voluntary, but the team's mandatory minicamp is set to begin on June 10 and run through June 12.

Absence from those dates would also draw a separate fine.
So Diggs is in some decision danger here. And yes, Cowboys fans have a right to be worried. Is he trying to be just a bit rebellious because Jerry Jones questioned his commitment last time around? Was Jerry right then?
Have things changed for the better now?
The Cowboys certainly want him back around the team headquarters despite the near certainty that Diggs will start the season on the PUP list.
"We won't have a feel for when he's going to be able to get in the middle of everything until we get to training camp when we're with him day in and day out and see how he's progressing," Stephen Jones said.

Forget about cutting him and forget about trading him.
The Cowboys just want to see him.
Diggs' limited availability over the last two seasons has been a thorn in the Cowboys' side especially after the $20 million APY extension they signed him to before the 2023 campaign. However these coming weeks unfold, the Cowboys' ultimate goal is to get Diggs back on the field and ready to compete at a high level again.

Dallas Cowboy Ex Kelvin Joseph Charged In Fatal Highway Crash
Dallas Cowboy Ex Kelvin Joseph Charged In Fatal Highway Crash originally appeared on Athlon Sports. FRISCO - Former Dallas Cowboys cornerback Kelvin Joseph Jr. was arrested and charged following a fatal highway crash, sources confirmed to ABC broadcast affiliate WFAA in Dallas. The accident occurred Saturday morning on U.S. Highway 75 near Richardson, Texas, a suburb within the greater Dallas area. Advertisement According to police, a 27-year old woman named Cody Morris was riding a motorcycle and died in the crash that shut down northbound lanes on U.S. Highway 75 more more than three hours. Richardson police responded to the crash just before 5 a.m. where only one vehicle was present at the scene. A call that was later confirmed to be from the former Cowboy came in around 5:39 a.m., informing authorities that he had been involved in a crash with a motorcycle. Police reported observing signs of intoxication when speaking to Joseph who was arrested and charged with DWI and collision involving personal injury or death, according to WFAA. Joseph, a current member of the DC Defenders of the UFL, was selected by the Cowboys in Round 2 of the 2021 NFL Draft. He spent his first two seasons in the NFL with the team before bouncing around several organizations from 2023 to 2024. Advertisement He played for a total of 26 games for the Cowboys, never finding a place on the depth chart as off-the-field issues added distractions from the start. Joseph was cleared of any involvement in a shooting that took place in Dallas in March of 2022. He eventually landed with the Defenders this spring, playing nine games with the team. The UFL nor the Defenders have yet to comment on the situation.

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott could be making a rare tweak to his accessories this season.
Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott could be making a rare tweak to his accessories this season. originally appeared on Athlon Sports. In this age of on-demand viewership - with social media highlights, constant studio analysis shows, behind-the-scenes footage transcending just the game broadcast - football is as accessible as ever. Advertisement And naturally, most people's eyes are drawn to the quarterback when they watch. So his on-field "look" is as dissected as any player out there. Some players take pride in their assortment of accessories, as if they are playing a real-life version of the Madden video game where each arm sleeve and wristband equips a new attribute to their customizable player performance. Players don't always carefully craft their aesthetic, but die-hard fans tend to notice and care. Especially if the look becomes a signature style for the player after many years. That is the case for Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott, who has worn the double long sleeve look under his pads for a while now. Advertisement Cowboys Nation has grown accustomed to their QB1's appearance, but nostalgic highlights of Dak's breakout rookie season in 2016 offer a different flavor from when he used to rock a default sleeveless look. For some time, fans have called for Prescott to update his on-field accessories with something new. Maybe this desire is fans' latest delusion that a new look will get the Cowboys closer to a Super Bowl. Well, Dak may be taking them up on the idea. At OTAs this offseason, Prescott has been seen wearing one arm sleeve rather than his usual two. His practice attire has cycled through different looks in other summers, but has still led to his traditional game-day fit in the fall, so this shouldn't be looked too much into. Advertisement But in a behind-the-scenes video of the Cowboys taking part in "picture day", a subtle tweak to Prescott's look has sent fans into a frenzy, thinking he could actually be making a change for the 2025 season. These pictures and videos are used for various marketing efforts throughout the season, like posters and hype videos shown on the AT&T Stadium jumbotron during games. The idea is for players to wear their full uniform as it will look on the field, accessories and all - Overshown is wearing eight arm bands for those counting at home. However subtle a change, Dak has tweaked his arm sleeve lengths. Advertisement Stop the press! His right arm now features a short-sleeve cut with his left sleeve still at full length. The two sweatbands on his wrist complete the look, but those are pretty standard. At practice, Prescott has been more experimental with his right sleeve length, being seen letting his arm breathe completely at times. Maybe having less constriction on his throwing arm will help mobility? Or maybe his accessories have no bearing on his physical performance and it's simply time for a fresh up. Either way, Cowboys fans are excited about the prospect of a "new-look" Dak. "One sleeve Dak official 🔥" one fan wrote. Advertisement "DAKS AURA OMGGG" another added in appreciation of Prescott's eye-catching change. "Single sleeve in promotional material???" said another hopeful. Dak's aesthetic on the field doesn't dictate his performance in anyway, but it could still draw as much attention from crazed fans (and haters) as much as his touchdown total. Regardless of the level of intrigue, these are the types of things that fill the minds of football fanatics during this offseason lull. What Cowboys fans should really care about is how much the team increases their win total - not Dak's arm-sleeve total - at the end of the season.
