The Dallas Cowboys have agreed to a $92 million extension with cornerback DaRon Bland, positioning him as the sixth highest-paid cornerback in the NFL. The long-term deal, valued at $23 million annually, was finalized just days after the team traded All-Pro defensive tackle Micah Parsons to the Green Bay Packers.
Bland’s impressive 2023 season, highlighted by five pick-sixes and a league-leading interception mark, has made him a crucial addition to the Cowboys’ defense despite missing 10 games due to a foot injury. The trade of Parsons, who received a significant contract from the Packers, has prompted the Cowboys to invest heavily in Bland to secure his services for the future.
