Trevon Diggs' stay with the Green Bay Packers was short-lived.
The team released the two-time Pro Bowl cornerback on Tuesday, less than three weeks after it claimed him off waivers.
After being waived by the Dallas Cowboys in late December, Diggs joined the Packers for the regular-season finale and a wild-card playoff loss to the Chicago Bears. He recorded three total tackles for the team.

But while Green Bay was able to get a trial run of Diggs for a few games at a prorated price, the Packers would have been on the hook for his non-guaranteed $14.5 million salary in 2026 had they opted to keep him. Instead, they will move on without any dead cap hit.
The Packers have starting cornerbacks Keisean Nixon and Carrington Valentine under contract for another year.
Diggs, 27, will hit free agency for the first time in his career after first flourishing in Dallas.
