REPORT: New Information Surfaces About the Future of Dallas Cowboys' Star Player Amid Rumors of Retirement
Fresh insights have come to light regarding the career trajectory of Dallas Cowboys' standout and potential Hall of Famer, amidst swirling retirement speculations.
The future of Tyron Smith, an eight-time Pro Bowler and one of the most formidable offensive tackles in the league, has been a subject of widespread discussion, with rumors suggesting possible retirement or release by the Cowboys this offseason. Despite turning 33 last December and facing a string of injuries that limited his play to 30 games in the past four years, Smith is reportedly not considering retirement at this point. According to Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News, Smith is eager to extend his tenure with the Cowboys into 2024:
"Tyron Smith, the most seasoned player on the Cowboys roster, is looking forward to playing another season with the team, according to a source close to the situation," Watkins reported.
Set to become an unrestricted free agent this spring, Smith's future with the Cowboys remains uncertain. His illustrious career includes eight Pro Bowl appearances and two All-Pro selections, along with being honored on the NFL's All-Decade Team for the 2010s.
The Cowboys, who drafted Tyler Smith in the first round of the 2022 draft to play at left guard�a position at which he has thrived�still recognize Tyron Smith's invaluable contributions. Despite recent injuries, Tyron Smith's performance has hardly waned, as evidenced by his impressive 83.8 grade from Pro Football Focus and conceding only one sack over 847 offensive snaps last season.
With the 24th pick in the upcoming draft, the Cowboys are well-positioned to select a potential successor for Tyron Smith should they opt to trade or release him.
Since Tyron Smith joined the team in 2011, the Cowboys have experienced just two losing seasons and have clinched the postseason six times, including NFC East titles in 2014, 2016, 2018, 2021, and 2023, highlighting his significant impact on the team's success.
