Overview

  • Dallas announced the All-Pro cornerback’s extension Sunday, with multiple outlets reporting $50 million guaranteed over four years.
  • The agreement arrives three days after Micah Parsons was traded to Green Bay, with reports noting Dallas is deploying cap flexibility created by that move.
  • Bland’s $23 million average annual value places him among the highest-paid cornerbacks in the NFL.
  • He led the league with nine interceptions in 2023 and set an NFL record with five pick-sixes that season.
  • He missed the first 10 games of 2024 with a stress fracture and finished without an interception in seven appearances, returning now to a secondary featuring Trevon Diggs under coordinator Matt Eberflus.
