Former Detroit Lions safety Quandre Diggs found him being released by the Seattle Seahawks on Tuesday. Diggs had been in Seattle since 2019 when he was traded to the team after starting his career in Detroit.
Diggs was drafted in the sixth round of the 2015 NFL Draft as a cornerback prospect coming out of Texas. He would convert to safety after two seasons and that is where he found most success in his career. During his four full seasons in Detroit, he would play in 60 out of 64 games for the team but only started in 35 of them.
After being traded to Seattle after five games in 2019, Diggs saw his ball production rise exponentially. He had a total of 30 combined pass breakups and interceptions in his career but after being traded he would have 50 in four seasons in Seattle. That type of production attacking the ball and disrupting plays earned him three consecutive Pro Bowl honors before seeing that production fall off last year.
Could a return be in the works for Diggs to Detroit? Perhaps, the team could find a role for him one way or another. Being used as a package-dependent type or as a full-time starter on a one-year deal. He is worth taking a shot on and his style could fit well with the current staff and team makeup. The secondary is expected to get younger this offseason through the draft, having a veteran like Diggs around could serve a purpose in more ways than one.
