Cowboys cornerback DaRon Bland has expressed hopes of securing a contract extension ahead of the upcoming NFL season. While not ready to discuss details, Bland conveyed optimism about reaching an agreement soon.
Reflecting on his journey, Bland highlighted the non-traditional path that brought him close to a second lucrative deal. Starting with a single college offer from Sacramento State, he then transferred to Fresno State, where he began starting games only partway through the season. Bland emphasized perseverance in the face of uncertainty, stating,
“Just stuff like that. Just keep going. You’ll never know when your opportunity is going to come.”
