Owner of Dallas Cowboys Jerry Jones decides to make a $97.6 million contract decision for Smith future in the off-season
NFC teams” that the Cowboys should sign or draft a left tackle to replace future Hall of Famer Tyron Smith and keep second-year player Tyler Smith at guard, where he has been really good. If Dallas has the cap space, Jonah Williams might want to switch back to the left side and become a free agent.
However, as easy-movers who fit with the Cowboys, I like left tackles Kingsley Suamataia (BYU) and Patrick Paul (Houston) in the draft. Jerry Jones is going to continue to make investments in the offensive line, especially in light of the current dire need.
Instead, Smith agreed to restructure his deal with incentives based on how many games he played. Smith is in the final season of an 8-year, $97.6 million contract.
When healthy, Smith is still playing at a high level and it is hard to imagine the eight-time Pro Bowler will not have a market in free agency.
The question is whether the Cowboys will be among the teams interested. There is some appeal if Smith is once again willing to tie his salary to the number of games played. ESPN’s Matt Miller is among those that believes the Cowboys should look for replacement options in 2024.
