Cowboys DC Christian Parker Openly Criticizes $92 Million Star Amid Ongoing Struggles

Christian Parker arrived in Dallas with a reputation as a cornerback developer, having worked with Pat Surtain II in Denver. But the NFL has a long history of cornerbacks who got paid on the strength of a spectacular year and then couldn’t repeat it. Take Byron Jones as an example, who landed an $82.5 million contract with the Miami Dolphins in 2020 after consistent performances for the Dallas Cowboys , but failed to match that level of play. As it seems, DaRon Bland, a former All-Pro now carrying a $92 million price tag, is being measured against that same standard.
