Cowboys hit with $130 million gut punch in DaRon Bland contract bind

The Dallas Cowboys' penchant for delaying contract extensions is coming home to roost yet again. While they wait to give Micah parsons a new deal, the prices for other homegrown stars who are due for extensions keep going up.

The Chiefs laid the framework for a Tyler Smith extension after they extended standout guard Trey Smith on Tuesday. The Jets have just done the same with DaRon Bland after they inked star cornerback Sauce Gardner to a four-year, $120.4 million deal that makes him the new highest-paid CB in football.

This complicates Dallas' hopes of keeping Bland beyond the 2025 season.
