Tyron Smith, once a first-round draft pick for the Dallas Cowboys, retired officially after signing a one-year deal with the team. After facing numerous injuries throughout his career, including issues with his back and knees, Smith felt it was the right moment to step away from football. He expressed a desire for good health for his family and pride in his contributions to the NFL. His retirement was supported by teammates and acknowledged by owner Jerry Jones, who emotionally reflected on their relationship and Smith’s impactful career.
After this past year and over the years of injuries and things like that, just kind felt like it was the right time to hang it up.
There was no question I was going to retire a Cowboy. I felt proud of what I did.
It was like losing a family member when he went to the Jets. Really was.
I had a tough time talking picking up that phone when he left us.
