Star cornerback Trevon Diggs agreed to a five-year contract extension with the Dallas Cowboys, according to multiple reports Tuesday.

The deal is worth $97 million and has a maximum value of $104 million with incentives, according to NFL Network.

The deal reportedly includes a signing bonus of $21.25 million, according to ESPN.

A second-round pick of the Cowboys in 2020 (51st overall), Diggs had 59 tackles, 14 passes defensed and three interceptions while playing in all 17 games last season.

Diggs, 24, led the NFL with 11 interceptions in 2021 and has a total of 17 interceptions in 45 games (44 starts) over three seasons with the Cowboys.

Had the deal not been reached, Diggs was set to become a free agent after the upcoming season.

The deal makes Diggs ($19.4 million average) one of the highest-paid cornerbacks in the NFL per average annual salary, behind Green Bay’s Jaire Alexander ($21 million), Cleveland’s Denzel Ward ($20.1 million), New Orleans’ Marshon Lattimore ($19.52M) and Baltimore’s Marlon Humphrey ($19.5M).
