Summary
Seattle added former All-Pro cornerback Trevon Diggs weeks before New England visits for the Super Bowl LX rematch, giving the defending champions another option for a highly charged opener.
Diggs, 27, led the NFL with 11 interceptions in his 2021 All-Pro season, but his availability for Week 1 is unclear as he learns a new defense after spending the offseason unsigned.
Seattle pursued help at corner after losing Riq Woolen in free agency and dealing with training-camp injuries, with Diggs slotting in opposite Devon Witherspoon if healthy.
For Drake Maye and the Patriots, the signing adds another volatile matchup: Diggs' ball-hawking style can surrender plays but also punish late throws with game-changing takeaways.
