Cowboys CB DaRon Bland, a 2022 fifth-round pick, had a breakout season in 2023, leading the NFL in interceptions and earning First-Team All-Pro honors. However, injuries have hindered his progress, including a foot fracture that sidelined him for ten games and recurring issues in 2025, ultimately leading to surgery. Despite these setbacks, the Cowboys have committed to him with a four-year, $92 million extension, as he is expected to return as a starting cornerback in 2026. With improved health, Bland’s versatility and ball skills could significantly bolster Dallas’ defense.
