"From a timeline standpoint: Tyler was drafted to play left guard in 2022 Tyron Smith's injury forced the Cowboys to play him at left tackle for most of that season He has developed into an amazing guard ever since then The Cowboys made him the highest-paid guard in the NFL shortly into this most recent campaign "
"It did feel in December like the move came out of nowhere and Brian Schottenheimer was able to shed some more light on it in this press conference. Schotty noted that he had recently met with Smith and expressed that the team believes him to be an amazing guard, but that they will not rule out him playing tackle in the future if that allows them to form their best overall combination of linemen. He noted that Smith was receptive to the conversation."
The Cowboys closed the season with comments about roster construction and offensive-line planning, centering on Tyler Smith's role. Smith was drafted to play left guard in 2022, filled in at left tackle after Tyron Smith's injury, and then developed into a top guard. The team made him the highest-paid guard in the NFL early in the most recent season. Coaches conveyed that they view him as an excellent guard but would not rule out a move to tackle if it improves the overall line, and Smith was receptive to that possibility.
