Cowboys secure DaRon Bland with $92M extension days after dealing Micah Parsons to Packers

The Green Bay Packers traded Kenny Clark and two 1st-round picks for Micah Parsons, "stealing him" from the Dallas Cowboys according to Jason McIntyre. He discusses the Packers’ Super Bowl chances with their new superstar defensive end.

Just days after dealing All-Pro Micah Parsons to the Green Bay Packers, the Dallas Cowboys dished out an extension to another defensive player. 

Cornerback DaRon Bland and the Cowboys agreed to a long-term extension worth $92 million over four seasons. The deal includes $50 million in guaranteed money, per multiple reports. 

Bland’s $23 million per season annual average value puts him among the highest-paid cornerbacks in the NFL, sitting sixth on that list behind some of the game’s best, like Denver Broncos star Patrick Surtain II and New York Jets top dog Sauce Gardner.

In just his second NFL season, Bland not only led the NFL in interceptions in 2023, but he also set the NFL record for the most pick-sixes in a season, recording five over his nine interceptions. 

Bland was only able to play in seven games last season, though, after suffering a stress fracture in his foot. He had to miss 10 games to start the season before coming back in November.

Bland tallied 29 solo tackles as well as a forced fumble in seven games.
