The Seahawks are slated to release Diggs, Brady Henderson of ESPN reports.
Per Henderson, Seattle is also in line to part ways with Jamal Adams, leaving the team with a void at safety in advance of NFL free agency. Diggs -- a three-time Pro Bowler -- is coming off a 2023 regular season in which he recorded a career-high 95 tackles as well as an interception over the course of 17 games with the Seahawks.

Seahawks' Quandre Diggs: Career high in tackles
Rotowire
Diggs posted 95 tackles (63 solo), five pass breakups and an interception across 17 games during the 2023 regular season.
This was the first time since 2016 -- Diggs' second NFL season -- that he didn't post at least three interceptions, but the veteran safety still managed to post a career high in tackles while playing nearly every snap. He's heading into the final year of a three-year, $39 million contract and should be set up as the Seahawks' starting free safety again in 2024.

Rotowire
Diggs (hamstring) is active Sunday against the Panthers.

Seahawks' Quandre Diggs: Questionable for Week 3
Rotowire
Diggs (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Panthers, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Diggs showed up as a non-participant at Thursday's practice due to a hamstring injury, which was replicated one day later. Such a scenario seemingly wouldn't be a great sign for upcoming active status, but coach Pete Carroll relayed to Brady Henderson of ESPN.com on Friday that Diggs "feels like he's playing" Week 3. Considering fellow safeties Jamal Adams (knee) and Julian Love (hamstring) also are questionable, Sunday's list of inactives will be of keen interest to see who among the trio is available this weekend.

Diggs (knee) will play Sunday against the Falcons. Curtis Crabtree of Sports Radio 950 KJR Seattle reports.
Diggs was able to log a limited practice to close out the week. His presence will certainly be a boon to the Seahawks' secondary, as the veteran safety has yet to not play a snap on defense this season.

Seahawks' Quandre Diggs: Sticks with Seattle
Rotowire
Diggs (ankle) agreed to a three-year, $40 million deal with the Seahawks on Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Diggs suffered a broken fibula and dislocated ankle in the fourth quarter of Week 18, but he's expected to be fully cleared for all football activities by June and likely will be ready for the start of training camp in late July, per Adam Schefter of ESPN. The 29-year-old finished the 2021 campaign with a career-high 94 tackles (66 solo), seven pass deflections and five interceptions.

Seahawks' Quandre Diggs: Should be ready for camp
Rotowire
Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said Wednesday that he doesn't "think there's any doubt" Diggs (ankle) will be fully healthy for the start of the 2022 season, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.
Carroll added that re-signing the safety is one Seattle's top priorities this offseason as the 29-year-old becomes an unrestricted free agent. Diggs has spent the past two and a half seasons with the Seahawks, and he's been a valuable piece of the secondary during his time in Seattle with 158 total tackles, 17 passes defensed and 10 interceptions over 38 games. He suffered a dislocated ankle and broken fibula during the season finale against Arizona and subsequently underwent surgery, but the Seahawks seem optimistic his recovery program won't extend into the 2022 campaign.

Seahawks' Quandre Diggs: Notches eight stops
Rotowire
Diggs made eight tackles (six solo) in Monday's 17-15 loss to Washington.
Diggs has now posted at least seven tackles in three straight games, and he's up to 70 stops through 16 contests, sitting eight tackles shy of the career high he posted in 2017 with Detroit. The 28-year-old safety is excellent in coverage and a sound tackler, but his numbers likely won't be this consistent through the end of the year.

Seahawks' Quandre Diggs: Will play Week 1
Rotowire
Diggs (contract dispute) said he will play in Sunday's game against the Colts, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
Diggs missed an entire week of workouts in late August because he had a few things he wanted to "get cleared up...business-wise." Entering the final year of his contract, Diggs likely wanted an extension after seeing Jamal Adams receive a four-year, $70 million contract. The 28-year-old safety has been superb for the Seahawks, racking up 85 tackles, 13 pass breakups and eight interceptions over 21 games, so the team is fortunate that he's willing to play without long-term security.

Seahawks' Quandre Diggs: Named to first Pro Bowl
Rotowire
Diggs produced 64 tackles, 10 pass breakups and five interceptions over 16 regular-season games during the 2020 season.
Diggs was outstanding for the Seahawks this season, starting every game and posting career highs in both pass breakups and interceptions. The 27-year-old earned Pro Bowl honors for the first time in his career as a result. Diggs has one year remaining on his contract with the Seahawks. His role in 2021 may be slightly altered if the team doesn't re-sign Jamal Adams (shoulder/finger).

Seahawks' Quandre Diggs: Performs well with Seahawks
Rotowire
Diggs, who made eight tackles over two playoff games, finished the 2019 season with 41 tackles, three pass breakups and three interceptions over 10 games between the Lions and Seahawks.
The Lions traded Diggs to the Seahawks after five games, but Diggs only managed to play in five games with Seattle due to hamstring and ankle injuries. Diggs made timely tackles for the Seahawks and ran an interception back for a touchdown, and he was a consistent every-down starter when healthy. The 26-year-old has two years remaining on his contract at a reasonable cap hit, so he's in line for another year as a starter in 2020. His role in the Seattle scheme offers limited IDP value, however.

Seahawks' Quandre Diggs: Unclear for Sunday
Rotowire
Diggs (ankle) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's showdown against San Francisco, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Despite non-participant status during practice both Wednesday and Thursday, Diggs still has an outside shot to suit up Sunday. He missed last week's loss to Arizona due to the ankle issue and would be a key loss to the defense considering he has 21 tackles and three interceptions in his past five contests. Marquise Blair is the likely candidate to replace Diggs should he sit again.

Rotowire

Diggs has been an excellent trade acquisition for the Seahawks, recording three interceptions, including a pick-six, and three pass breakups over the last four games. When he left this contest, Diggs was second on the team with eight tackles. Rookie Marquise Blair likely will fill Diggs' role for the time being.

Seahawks' Quandre Diggs: Grabs INT in debut
Rotowire
Diggs recorded two tackles (one solo), a pass breakup and an interception in Monday's 27-24 win over the 49ers.
Diggs played all 88 defensive snaps in his Seahawks debut, and he was in the right place at the right time for a tipped pass that he corralled and returned to the 49ers' 16-yard line. It's clear the coaching staff thinks highly of Diggs, whom they acquired via trade from the Lions on Oct. 22. It appears he'll be a weekly starter at free safety alongside Bradley McDougald.
