"He miraculously and heroically played very well at tackle for most of that season When Tyron returned Tyler slid back to guard The last few years have seen him turn into one of the best guards in the NFL One game into this season the Cowboys and Smith agreed on an extension that made him the highest-paid guard in NFL history"
"It feels safe to say that just about every Cowboys fan believed it was well-earned and that he was the foundational block that the future version of the offensive line was being built upon, especially following Zack Martin's retirement after last season. To be clear all of this, what we are getting to that is, started because Smith played left tackle during last week's game against the Los Angeles Chargers"
Tyler Smith was drafted by Dallas in 2022 to play left guard but moved outside when Tyron Smith was injured, performing strongly at tackle before returning to guard. He developed into one of the NFL's best guards and signed a four-year, $96 million extension with a $24 million AAV, becoming the highest-paid guard. Smith played left tackle in a recent game because Dallas was thin at the position and sought extra protection for quarterback Dak Prescott. Cowboys leadership has suggested Smith could remain at left tackle beyond this season, raising questions about his future position on the offensive line.
