Open Extended ReactionsFRISCO, Texas -- Dallas Cowboys coach Brian Schottenheimer was adamant that the team did not release Trevon Diggs on Tuesday solely because the former Pro Bowl cornerback did not fly home with the team from Washington on Christmas.
Schottenheimer said his rule is that the Cowboys fly out together as a team and return as a team.
On Tuesday, the Cowboys released Diggs.
The Cowboys did not elevate him to the 53-man roster until the practice window was up, with Schottenheimer saying Diggs needed to do "everything" right before he would return.
Schottenheimer had a conversation with Diggs on Tuesday to inform him of the release.
