Cowboys lock in another key piece with last-minute deal fans didn't see coming

The Dallas Cowboys are preparing for their Week 1 battle against the Philadelphia Eagles on Thursday Night Football. But the front office continues to make a handful of long-term moves before the season kicks off. Obviously, that started with the trade of Micah Parsons, but has since extended to Daron Bland, who received a new contract in Dallas.

Bland wasn’t the only player to receive a new deal this week, as the Cowboys have agreed to a new two-year deal with fullback Hunter Luepke worth up to $7.5 million, according to several reports. That makes Luepke the third-highest paid fullback in the NFL despite playing just two seasons in the league.
