""Yea, I would like there to be some clarity, for sure," Smith said ( via the team's website). "And I'll get that, we're going to have those conversations when we have a conversation later today. I'll kind of get that clarify from him and what their vision is and what they say. While Smith wouldn't explicitly endorse one position over the other, he did admit that he's naturally more comfortable playing at the guard position.""
""The way you build comfort is through reps," Smith said. "And right now, I made a lot of money playing offensive guard. That's what it is. I have the most reps I have in the NFL at offensive guard, so obviously I'm more comfortable there. It's a matter of conversation, I feel like I just need to know." Smith made a name for himself as an offensive tackle at Tulsa, leading to him being selected by the Cowboys with the 24th-overall pick in the 2022 draft."
Smith has played more than two-thirds of his career snaps at left guard, earning three straight Pro Bowl nods and an All-Pro recognition. He has also logged more than 1,000 career snaps at left tackle, giving him multi-position experience. The organization is considering a permanent move for Smith ahead of the 2026 season, and Smith wants clarity from coach Brian Schottenheimer about the team's vision. Smith says he is more comfortable at guard due to the volume of reps and the money he made there. Team decisions will also hinge on how other linemen, including 2024 first-round pick Guyton, are deployed.
