In case you've not heard, Dallas Cowboys star cornerback Trevon Diggs is finding himself facing a lawsuit to the tune of $250,000 for reported failure to pay rent. And needless to say, the news came as a major surprise.
In the words of his attorney, he believed that the matter had already been resolved.
"He thought this matter was completely resolved," Diggs attorney, Scott Becker said. "So to have this situation arise out of the blue was a bit of a shock to him."
"We certainly feel badly for her if that's the case that there's damage to the property," Becker said, pledging that Diggs will "work it out.''
"My client didn't cause that damage,'' Becker said, "and we look forward to working it out with her ... You become a target for things, and that may be happening here."
The lawsuit was filed by landlord Rose Marie Yadegar in December of 2022.
"It's been a very stressful situation and I don't understand," Yadegar said to WFAA. "Why put a homeowner through this much hell when you know you have signed an agreement and you have to stay committed?"
Diggs, who made his 2nd straight Pro Bowl in 2022, is slated to make a cool $4.843 million in 2023.
