Daron Bland's recent struggles with the Dallas Cowboys' defense have raised concerns about his role. After recording nine interceptions in 2023, Bland has only one interception in his last 24 games and has struggled in coverage, allowing passer ratings over 100. With a large contract still in place, speculation arises whether the Cowboys might trade or cut him. ESPN notes the team may face challenges finding a taker for his $92 million deal, which has $50 million guaranteed. Upcoming decisions will likely hinge on his performance and contract dynamics.
