Dallas Cowboys All-Pro cornerback DaRon Bland agreed to terms on a four-year, $92 million contract extension, the team announced on Sunday.

At $23 million per season, Bland's average annual salary is the fifth-highest among cornerbacks in the NFL, per Spotrac. According to media reports, the contract includes $50 million in guaranteed money.

Bland, 26, was due to earn $5.346 million in 2025 as he entered the last year of his rookie contract.

The reported signing comes three days after the Cowboys traded two-time All-Pro linebacker Micah Parsons to the Green Bay Packers in exchange for three-time Pro Bowl defensive tackle Kenny Clark and first-round draft picks in 2026 and 2027.

After leading the league in 2023 with nine interceptions -- including an NFL-record five picks returned for touchdowns, Bland totaled 41 tackles in seven games (all starts) last season. He missed the team's first 10 games while recovering from surgery to repair a fractured foot.

Bland has recorded 14 interceptions in 41 career games (30 starts) since being selected by the Cowboys in the fifth round of the 2022 NFL Draft out of Fresno State.
