GREEN BAY, WI — Less than 48 hours after being waived by the Dallas Cowboys over a Christmas flight dispute, Trevon Diggs is already wearing green and gold. And the former All-Pro cornerback just made a promise that has Packers Nation absolutely BUZZING.

“I’m excited for a new journey and a fresh start,” Diggs posted Wednesday after the Packers claimed him off waivers. “I’m ready to give everything I have to help this team bring a championship home. Playing alongside my brother Micah again, even if he can’t be on the field right now, means the world to me. We’re going to finish what we started.”

The reunion everyone predicted is now official. And it’s about to get EMOTIONAL.

“We’re Back” — Micah Parsons Erupts With Joy

The moment ESPN’s Adam Schefter broke the news that Green Bay had claimed Diggs, Micah Parsons — rehabbing from his season-ending ACL tear — took to X with a simple but powerful message:

“We’re back …. 🫡”

Two words. One emoji. Infinite meaning.

For Packers fans who watched Parsons dominate before his devastating Week 15 injury against Denver, the addition of his best friend and former Cowboys teammate represents something bigger than just a roster move. It’s about family. It’s about redemption. It’s about unfinished business.

Diggs and Parsons spent four seasons together in Dallas from 2021-24, becoming the first Cowboys defensive duo to both make All-Pro first team in the same year (2021) since DeMarcus Ware in 2011. They led Dallas to three consecutive 12-win seasons and formed one of the NFL’s most feared defensive tandems.

Then came the split. Parsons was traded to Green Bay in August after a bitter contract dispute with Jerry Jones. Diggs stayed behind, nursing injuries and watching his career spiral. Now, fate has brought them back together — this time in green and gold.

The Alabama Connection Makes It Even Better

But it’s not just Parsons waiting for Diggs in Green Bay. Former Alabama Crimson Tide teammate Xavier McKinney — the Packers’ standout safety and Pro Bowl selection — will reunite with Diggs as well.

McKinney and Diggs won a national championship together at Alabama in 2017. Now they have a chance to win an NFL championship together in 2026.

“Having Trevon here is huge,” a team source revealed. “X-Man has been talking about this possibility for weeks. The chemistry those guys have from Alabama, plus the Parsons connection — that’s the kind of locker room energy you can’t manufacture.”

The Packers’ secondary just got an instant culture boost from three former All-Pro/Pro Bowl caliber players who share championship DNA.

The Perfect Timing

Green Bay desperately needed cornerback help. Injuries have decimated the position:

• Kamal Hadden — season-ending ankle injury (Week 17 vs Ravens)
• Nate Hobbs — unlikely to return this season with knee injury

Head coach Matt LaFleur confirmed Wednesday that the cornerback depth chart was dangerously thin heading into the postseason. Enter Diggs — a two-time Pro Bowler with 20 career interceptions who still has the physical tools to compete at a high level.

“Trevon may not be the same guy who led the NFL with 11 picks in 2021, but he’s still got juice,” one NFC scout told Bleacher Report. “In a playoff environment where you need veteran savvy and someone who won’t panic in big moments, Diggs can absolutely help.”

The Packers are locked into the No. 7 seed and will face either the Chicago Bears or Philadelphia Eagles in the wild-card round. Adding a former All-Pro cornerback with 240 career tackles and 63 pass deflections — even at 70% of his peak form — could be the difference between a quick playoff exit and a deep run.

“I’m Going to Play Better for Micah”

Sources close to Diggs say the reunion with Parsons has already lit a fire under the 28-year-old cornerback. Despite Parsons being sidelined with his ACL injury, Diggs believes his best friend’s presence will elevate his game.

“Micah makes everyone around him better, even from the sideline,” Diggs reportedly told teammates during his first practice Wednesday. “I owe it to him to ball out. He can’t be out there, so I’m going to play for both of us. We’re bringing a ring to Green Bay.”

That kind of emotional motivation can’t be underestimated. Diggs knows Parsons sacrificed his body for this team, tearing his ACL while chasing greatness. Now Diggs has a chance to honor that sacrifice by helping deliver the championship Parsons was building toward before injury struck.

“Having your brother in the locker room, even if he’s rehabbing, changes everything,” one Packers defensive player said. “Trevon looked locked in from the moment he walked in. This isn’t just another job for him — it’s personal.”

The Cost? Almost Nothing.

Here’s the best part for Green Bay: Diggs will cost the Packers just $472,000 for his Week 18 base salary plus around $58,823 if activated.

That’s it. No long-term commitment. No guaranteed money beyond 2025. The Packers can evaluate him through the playoffs, and if it works, they can negotiate a team-friendly extension this offseason. If it doesn’t? They move on with zero financial pain.

It’s the definition of a low-risk, high-reward playoff addition. The kind of move championship teams make.

Will He Play Sunday vs Vikings?

Matt LaFleur told reporters Wednesday that Diggs “has a chance” to play in Sunday’s regular-season finale against Minnesota, though the Packers are expected to rest most starters since they’re locked into the No. 7 seed.

More likely, Diggs will make his Packers debut in the wild-card round — where the stakes are highest and his veteran playoff experience (seven postseason games with Dallas) becomes most valuable.

“We’re not rushing him,” LaFleur said. “But if he’s ready, we’ll use him.”

Translation: Diggs will be on the field when it matters most. And when he is, Micah Parsons will be on the sideline, coaching him up, hyping him up, and living vicariously through his best friend’s pursuit of a ring.

Cowboys Fans Are SICK

Meanwhile, back in Dallas, Cowboys Nation is watching this reunion unfold with absolute horror.

“We let Micah AND Trevon go to the same team that’s about to make a playoff run? ARE YOU KIDDING ME?”

“Jerry Jones fumbled two All-Pros in the same year and they’re both in Green Bay now. I’m sick.”

“Imagine if we still had Parsons and Diggs. Instead we have… nothing.”

The Cowboys finished 7-8, missed the playoffs for the second straight year, and now get to watch their former defensive stars chase a Super Bowl in green and gold. It’s the kind of organizational malpractice that defines the Jerry Jones era.

Packers Nation Reacts

Green Bay fans, on the other hand, are FIRED UP:

“Parsons + Diggs reunion in Green Bay? I’m not crying, you’re crying!”

“WE’RE BACK! Micah’s tweet has me hyped for the playoffs!”

“Low risk, high reward. If Diggs balls out, we’re going to the Super Bowl.”

“Alabama to Dallas to Green Bay — the band is back together!”

The energy around Lambeau Field just shifted. This isn’t just about adding depth at cornerback. It’s about destiny, brotherhood, and finishing what two All-Pros started in Dallas but will complete in Wisconsin.

The Question Everyone’s Asking

Can Trevon Diggs still play at an elite level?

The honest answer? Nobody knows. He’s 28 years old, coming off multiple knee surgeries, and hasn’t recorded an interception all season. His coverage grades have declined since his ACL tear in 2023. He’s not the same ballhawk who led the NFL with 11 picks in 2021.

But here’s what we DO know: championship runs aren’t built solely on stats. They’re built on moments, confidence, veteran savvy, and having the right people in the locker room when pressure mounts.

Diggs brings all of that. And if he can recapture even 70% of his All-Pro form for four playoff games, the Packers will be incredibly dangerous.

“I’m going to leave everything on the field for this city,” Diggs said in his first statement. “Micah and I came here to win. And we’re not leaving until we do.”

Packers Nation — are you ready to believe?

The Dallas reunion nobody saw coming is now Green Bay’s championship wildcard. And if Trevon Diggs can channel his 2021 magic one more time, this story might just have a Super Bowl ending.

WE’RE BACK. 🫡💚💛
