The Dallas Cowboys lost two important pieces to their offensive line last week. First, we learned that center Tyler Biadasz joined Dan Quinn and the Washington Commanders. That stung a little as the 2022 Pro Bowler has been solid for the team, but he hasn’t necessarily been playing spectacularly over his time in Dallas. Most of us could live with that.
But then news broke that Tyron Smith is joining the New York Jets after 13 seasons with the Cowboys. That one hurt. Smith has been one of the better tackles in the league over his career and even though he’s been battling injuries in recent years, he put together a very strong 2023 season.
