For the third time in five years, the Dallas Cowboys have reset the market for an offensive line position.
In 2014, they extended left tackle Tyron Smith for what was at the time $110 million in total money over eight years, with two years left on his rookie contract. It was a deal in length and average salary per year that wasn’t seen at the left tackle position.
Two years later, they put pen to paper on a six-year extension worth 56.4 million with center Travis Frederick, a figure which escalated future contracts at the position over the $10 million-per-year mark.
