FRISCO, Texas -- Tyler Smith is now the next one.
With the retirements of Zack Martin and Tyron Smith during the offseason, it was clear Tyler Smith would become the heir to what those two carried forward with a combined 17 Pro Bowls on their Hall of Fame résumés.
When Tyler Smith on Saturday signed his four-year, $96 million extension that includes $81.2 million guaranteed, it cemented the feeling from the organization.
Maybe it was fitting that Tyron Smith was at Sunday's home opener against the New York Giants and received loud applause from the fans for his 13 years of service with the Cowboys.
