Jerry Jones and the Dallas Cowboys are preparing to face a new chapter without Micah Parsons. After the blockbuster trade with the Green Bay Packers, uncertainty is high around Brian Schottenheimer’s team.
The offense looks very promising with stars like Dak Prescott, CeeDee Lamb, and George Pickens, who arrived from the Pittsburgh Steelers. If the running game starts clicking, the results could be outstanding.
However, the main problem in recent years has been the defense. The Cowboys have struggled with inconsistency and numerous injuries. Now, with Parsons’ departure, the weaknesses could become even more evident.
Who did the Cowboys just sign?
Daron Bland has signed a four-year, $92 million contract extension with the Dallas Cowboys. As Jerry Jones had warned, the money saved by letting Parsons go is now being used on other players.
The goal of the move is very clear. The Cowboys now have their two star cornerbacks, Bland and Trevon Diggs, secured for the near future. If injuries stay at bay, this could be one of the best units in the league.
