Cowboys CB DaRon Bland is entering the final year of his rookie contract. He’s hoping to get a deal done before the start of the regular season.
“I do, but I’m not here to talk about it really too much,” Bland said, viaTommy Yarish of the team’s site. “But yea, hopefully.”
Bland said he has grown accustomed to playing both slot and outside cornerback roles.
“I feel like I’m pretty adjusted into it now…” Bland said. “It’s really just gelling everything together both inside and outside and showing I can do both.”
Bland added that playing the slot role means he needs to put some extra attention to how opposing offensive lines operate.
“I would say a little bit because there’s some different things you’ve got to watch on the inside versus the outside,” Bland said. “The o-line and you tune into the pass at the same time.”
