\"daron<\/p>\n

After an offseason full of drama, the Dallas Cowboys\u2019 cornerback Daron Bland is seeking a new contract extension and is hoping to get one before the 2025 regular season. According to a report, the cornerback wants a new deal, but didn\u2019t want to get too much into it, given the Micah Parsons situation. Unfortunately, there\u2019s no realistic path for Dallas to extend every single talent on their roster, and since they\u2019ve been giving Parsons a hard time, the Cowboys might be better off trading him. Originally selected in the fifth round of the 2022 NFL Draft, the former Fresno State product is coming off a down year last season after earning a Pro Bowl in 2023.<\/p>\n

Bland and cornerback Trevon Diggs are both fighting to maintain their starting roles in Dallas, but they\u2019re likely to let Bland play out his final year to see what type of performance he can put up this upcoming campaign. After giving Diggs a long-term contract in 2023, it\u2019s no wonder that Dallas is waiting. However, if the Cowboys endure another disastrous season led by quarterback Dak Prescott, they could listen to offers this campaign to send Bland to a contender for at least a solid draft pick. It shouldn\u2019t be surprising if teams are looking into Bland before the regular season, so here are some possible next teams for the cornerback.<\/p>\n

Cowboys All-Pro Daron Bland Seeking Contract Extension \u2013 Could Trade Him Instead<\/h2>\n

Best Fits<\/h3>\n

Baltimore Ravens<\/h4>\n

Between Jaire Alexander, Marlon Humphrey and 2024 draft pick Nate Wiggins, the Baltimore Ravens probably have one of the most loaded cornerback rooms in the league. Even though the team signing Chidobe Awuzie was one of the worst, they could always trade for another cornerback late into the season, just like they did with Tre\u2019Davious White last year. There\u2019s no such thing as too many cornerbacks for the Ravens since they want to have the best defense when you\u2019re going up against quarterbacks like Patrick Mahomes, Justin Herbert and Josh Allen. Bland might not get first-team reps, but at least he could be a part of one of the most ferocious secondaries.<\/p>\n

Los Angeles Chargers<\/h4>\n

Meanwhile, the Los Angeles Chargers could use some additional depth in their secondary despite signing Donte Jackson and Benjamin St-Juste. 2024 draft pick Cam Hart is likely to step up, but why should the Chargers risk it when you can trade for a reliable cornerback? Bland might not outbeat Hart one-on-one for the starting job, but it gives Hart some breathing room in reps.<\/p>\n

New Orleans Saints<\/h4>\n

Despite having a promising safety unit, the same can\u2019t be said about the New Orleans Saints\u2019 cornerback room. They can\u2019t expect to rely on Alontae Taylor and Kool-Aid McKinstry to make all of their plays, so they need someone who can be a viable replacement since departing from Marshon Lattimore and Paulson Adebo. Bland might be able to take Taylor\u2019s job and bring this secondary unit back to life.<\/p>\n

Carolina Panthers<\/h4>\n

The Carolina Panthers heavily invested in their defense this offseason after signing Tre\u2019Von Moehrig, Tershawn Wharton and Bobby Brown. However, they could use an upgrade in the cornerback slot. Michael Jackson and Jaycee Horn are coming back on new deals, but Bland is a reliable corner who could boost the unit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
