Another Cowboys star could hold out amid Micah Parsons' contract drama

The Dallas Cowboys need to figure out what to do with Micah Parsons because whatever they're doing right now isn't working.

Team owner Jerry Jones said he was willing to "stir the pot" when asked about Parsons' contract stalemate and trade request. Given Parsons' character, that may have rubbed him the wrong way.

However, that's not the only contract situation they need to address. While everybody's focused on the Penn State product, CB DaRon Bland is also waiting for an extension of his own.

More importantly, he recently said that he hoped it would get done before the Cowboys open the season on Sept. 4.

"I do, but I'm not here to talk about it really too much," Bland told the team's website. "But yea, hopefully."

Jerry and Stephen Jones aren't that fond of players setting deadlines for contract negotiations, and they've shown that they're willing to wait until the very last second to get a deal done, relationships be damned.

Bland has been an instrumental piece of the Cowboys secondary, especially with fellow CB Trevon Diggs struggling with injuries. 

When asked about his goal for next season, he opened up about his desire to dominate opposite Diggs.

"Always hopeful for both of us to be healthy first of all, and for both of us to show out on the field together. Can't wait until it happens," Bland said.

Still, given the way the Cowboys have treated their stars and have dealt with contract situations, it wouldn't be much of a surprise to see Bland also go to desperate measures to get what he's earned.
