Quandre Diggs, a talented NFL player known for his impressive skills on the field, received some unfortunate news recently. He was informed that his team, the Seattle Seahawks, had decided to cut him from their roster. Despite this setback, Diggs handled the news with grace and even managed to find some humor in the situation. He took to social media to share a GIF of Ice Cube from the iconic movie Friday, along with the famous quote, "Got fired on my day off. Damn."
According to NFL.com, the Seahawks made the difficult decision to release three players, including Diggs, in order to free up some salary cap space. This is the maximum amount of money that a team can allocate towards their players' salaries for the season. Along with Diggs, the other players released were defensive backs Jamal Adams and tight end Will Dissly.
In his signature lighthearted style, Diggs used humor to announce his departure from the Seahawks to his followers on social media. Referencing Ice Cube's character, Craig Jones, who was famously fired on his day off after getting caught stealing from his job, Diggs bid farewell to his time with the team.
The Seahawks also acknowledged Diggs' time with the team and thanked him for his contributions in a post on social media. Despite the disappointment of being let go, Diggs remained grateful for the opportunity to play for the Seahawks and expressed his gratitude to the organization.
Diggs' professional football journey began in 2015 when he was drafted by the Detroit Lions in the sixth round. After playing college football at the University of Texas at Austin, he joined the Lions and quickly made a name for himself. In 2019, he was traded to the Seahawks, where he continued to excel and was selected to play in three consecutive Pro Bowls from 2020 to 2022.
However, Diggs' final season with the Seahawks did not live up to his usual high standards. He recorded 95 tackles and only one interception while starting in 17 games. According to USA Today, the decision to release him was made in order to save $11 million in salary cap space.
Despite the disappointment of being let go from the Seahawks, Diggs remains a talented and dedicated player who is sure to make a strong impact wherever he goes next. His positive attitude and ability to find humor in tough situations are qualities that are sure to serve him well in the future.
