Bland's Fall from Grace: Cowboys' Overpaid Cornerback

0:00On March 30, Doron Bland looked unstoppable after the 2023 NFL season, leading the league and interceptions during his second year, earning Pro Bowl and first team all pro honors. That breakout play landed him a huge four-year, $90 million extension with the Dallas Cowboys before the 2025 campaign, but his production has dropped off since then, thanks to nagging injuries that kept him out for chunks of time over the last two seasons. Bleacher reports Brad Gagnon just named him the Cowboys' most overpaid player, pointing out how one stellar year justified that massive deal while. His coverage has taken a hit on the field. Even with his six highest pay among corners, Pro Bowl focus graded him as the 44th best last season, way below expectations for that, salary. The Cowboys still have a few years left on that contract, so they're banking on Bland to turn it around and make the investment pay off before it.
