The Dallas Cowboys have protected one of their defensive stars for the long term and agree with a four -year contract extension of $ 92 million with Cornerback Daron Faint Including $ 50 million guaranteed. The deal, confirmed on Sunday, makes the sixth highest paid cornerback of the NFL for $ 23 million a year.
Bland, 25, became a household name during his BreakOut 2023 season, when he took nine intercepts and established an NFL record with five Pick-Sixes. The one-off All-Pro and Pro Bowler now form one of the most dangerous cornerback tandems of the competition next to Trevon Diggs.
Head coach Brian Schottenheimer praised the rise of Bland: “Shot a few years ago on stage and made an immediate impact like Rookie. … He is such a modest young man, but so well deserved. You love him as a teammate and as a competitor.”
A fifth round pick from 2022, Daron Bland has intercepted a total of 14 interceptions, 164 tackles, 27 passes and one forced junk in his career. Although he missed the first 10 games of last season with an injury and could not record a pick after returning, his early production has far exceeded expectations.
The expansion comes just a few days before Dallas stands in the NFL Kickoff game game opposite the Philadelphia Eagles, and fulfills Bland’s mentioned wish to get a deal for week 1.
