Dallas Cowboys: Trevon Diggs wants trade for brother Stefon – loss of draft picks due to tampering?

The NFL regulations regarding tampering are strict and could also affect the Dallas Cowboys. Worst case scenario, they could lose draft picks because Trevon Diggs is too outspoken in favor of a trade for his brother.

The Dallas Cowboys could be fined for tampering, i.e. contacting contracted players of other teams without permission.

The reason for this are some posts and statements by Cowboys cornerback Trevon Diggs.

He would love to see his brother Stefon Diggs, currently a wide receiver for the Buffalo Bills, on his team. Last week, Trevon posted a photo montage of Stefon in a Dallas jersey on his Instagram story, and before that he openly spoke out in favour of a trade on the “Blogging the Boys” podcast.

It is questionable how seriously the NFL takes the 24-year-old’s statements. If they really see it as a poaching attempt, the Cowboys could face a similar punishment as the Miami Dolphins, who lost their first-round pick in the upcoming draft because of tampering.

While Stefon has also spoken regularly in the past about the fact that he could basically imagine playing on a team with his brother. However, he also noted in an interview with “USA Today” that Trevon would “play with his heart a little bit”.

In addition, there are other reasons against a trade. For example, the Bills would have to swallow a dead cap of about 35 million US dollars in the event of a possible departure of their top receiver.

In addition, Diggs only extended his contract last September. In addition, his connection to quarterback Josh Allen is among the best between quarterback and pass receiver in the entire NFL.

So a move from Stefon to the Cowboys seems to be nothing more than a thought process. Whether this will have any consequences for the Cowboys will soon become clear.
