The Dallas Cowboys have agreed to terms on a contract extension for a key, All-Pro defensive player. Obviously, it's not Micah Parsons.
Instead, cornerback DaRon Bland gets his deal, according to multiple reports Sunday: a four-year, $92 million extension with $50 million in guaranteed money.
Bland earned his first Pro Bowl and first-team All-Pro nods in 2023 after leading the NFL with nine interceptions, including five that he returned for a touchdown. It was an excellent follow-up to something of a breakout rookie year with his five interceptions in 2022.
The All-Pro corner missed the first 10 games of the 2024 season while recovering from a stress fracture he suffered during training camp. Bland did not record an interception in his seven appearances after his return.

Now, after an offseason that already included an extension for tight end Jake Ferguson and, notably, not one for Parsons, the Cowboys have locked up their former fifth-rounder four days before the start of the season.
Here's what to know about Bland's extension:
MICAH PARSONS TRADE: Cowboys deal 4x Pro Bowler to Packers in blockbuster
DaRon Bland contract details -
Length: Four years
Value: $92 million ($50 million guaranteed)
Average annual value (AAV): $23 million
Bland's four-year, $92 million extension includes $50 million in guaranteed money, the 12th-most money in guarantees at the position and notably ahead of fellow Cowboys corner Trevon Diggs' $42.3 million in guarantees.
The deal's $23 million average annual value (AAV) is the sixth-highest of all cornerbacks, just behind Broncos cornerback – and reigning Defensive Player of the Year – Patrick Surtain II.
The Cowboys' decision to extend Bland instead of Parsons will be even more notable given its timing. Dallas traded Parsons to Green Bay on Thursday and extended Bland three days later.
The value of each player is obviously different, a statement backed up by the fact that the AAV on Parsons' new deal with the Packers is more than twice that of Bland's. Still, Cowboys owner/general manager Jerry Jones has certainly put more of a microscope on how Bland performs after receiving his new extension, given its timing.
