The Dallas Cowboys enter the 2024 offseason with a glaring issue at offensive tackle. Tyron Smith’s contract is expiring and there’s no great option to replace him at left tackle. Dallas now has to weigh the balance of Smith’s age and injury history with their other options, plus the fact that the veteran is still one of the league’s top tackles when he plays.
Smith is the team’s eldest statesman, at least in Cowboys years. He was the first draft pick of the Jason Garrett era in 2011 and was an immediate starter. He’s been to eight Pro Bowls and was named a first- or second-team All-Pro five times, including last season for the first time since 2016.
