Frisco – two days after redeeming the defensive wing of Pro Bowl, Micah Parsons, the Green Bay Packers, the Dallas Cowboys They agreed to one Contract extension four years for 92 million dollars with the corner of Pro Bowl, Daron DaRon Blandaccording to multiple sources.

The agreement includes 50 million guaranteed, including a bonus to sign 22 million.

Los Cowboys announced the extension of DaRon Blandbut they did not reveal the financial terms.

DaRon Bland26 years old, established a NFL record in 2023 by returning five of its nine interceptions, the highest figure in the League, for TouchDown. Last year he only played seven games due to a stress reaction in the foot that required surgery, and did not achieve any interception.

“He has incredible skills with the ball, but I also think he has incredible instincts,” chief coach Brian Schottenheimer said Sunday. “His ability to study the game and his knowledge for a young, relatively young player, are amazing. Just like his ability to read and anticipate routes and things like that, I always think of Stephon Gilmore … Those players, as they age, may lose a step, so they have to learn to read and things like that, but they have always had the ability to process things very quickly.

“In addition, it undoubtedly has a change of direction and some elite ball skills, which is why interceptions and returns for touchdows have occurred. Another player who fits perfectly into our defensive … key piece for the Dallas Cowboys“.

Selected in the fifth round of the 2022 draft from Fresno State, DaRon Bland led the Cowboys in interceptions as a rookie with five.

Los Cowboys negotiated with the agent of DaRon Bland During the training camp, so this agreement had little to do with the exchange of Parsons.

He was scheduled to become a free agent after the season. He is the second player of the 2022 draft generation to which Cowboys They extend their contract this low season, with the wing closed Jake Ferguson signing a four -year agreement for 52 million that included 30 million guaranteed in July.

P> “We are a team that recruits and develops players,” said Schottenheimer. “We want to recruit players. We want to develop them. We have shown that we have a great career here, long before I arrived, recruiting players and developing them. And I think that best of all, when you see the players with whom you do that, it is that they usually do not change. Fergy has not changed anything. It is still the hard player who likes to be and is a little crazy all the time, which is great. DaRon It will not change. “

The club has also had conversations with the left guard of Pro Bowl, Tyler Smith, but has a contract until 2026 and the Cowboys They will exercise the fifth year option of the first round of 2022 in the spring.

“I hope,” said Schottenheimer, “[Smith] Be the following “.
