After 13 seasons, Tyron Smith and the Dallas Cowboys are reportedly preparing to go their separate ways. The 33-year-old offensive tackle is “unlikely” to return to the Cowboys once he hits free agency on March 13, according to sources.
Smith, who is the Cowboys’ longest-tenured player, will reportedly be in high demand among teams seeking an experienced offensive tackle. Despite dealing with injuries in recent seasons that have limited his playing time, Smith has remained a highly successful and sought-after player.
Negotiations for a new deal with the Cowboys have hit a turning point, with Smith looking for a contract that will keep him in Dallas. However, it appears that the two sides may not be able to reach an agreement, leading to Smith’s potential departure from the team.
The arrival of Tyler Smith, a first-round pick in the upcoming 2022 NFL Draft, could potentially fill the gap left by Tyron Smith’s departure. The younger Smith will have big shoes to fill as he steps into the role of a highly respected and accomplished player like Tyron.
As Tyron Smith looks towards the next chapter of his career, it will be interesting to see where he lands and how he will continue to make an impact in the league. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story on ‘The Puck Drop’.
