Another important contract coming soon: Tyler Smith

[StarOfGlory]

Tyler's next season will be his fourth on his four-year deal. He is currently taking up 1.55% of our cap. His original deal is 4 years/$13.389,123. He doesn't become an UFA until 2027.

Tyler is a top O-lineman in the league, and by far our best player on the O-line. Heck, he's one of our best players period. I really hope the Jones Boys can get an extension done this year. The last thing we need is for our front office to somehow screw up and let his next contract signing drag out the way we have become accustomed to seeing with our best players. If we go the franchise route, the projected 2025 franchise tag number for a lineman is estimated to be $23,049,000 (no exact figure can be had until the 2025 cap is finalized) which comes out to be 8.3% of the total cap.

For comparison, Landon Dickerson signed a 4-year/$84 million extension. By age 31 he begins four void years (the first one being a UFA year), but many OG's are still quite good into their mid-30's, the years covering his void years. If Dickerson keeps his current level of play, Roseman probably just resigns him, and for now has it set up so Dickerson doesn't exceed 5.36% of the total cap in his highest paid year.

Will our front office masterminds figure out how to keep our best o-lineman without having to go through another round of dragged-out contract negotiations?

Based on past FO actions, if he is extended it will be last minute.

not a low key players like this, this is the kind of signing that gets done out of nowhere, the high maintenance players they have to make it a spectacle

Highly unlikely.

They couldn't throw a rock into the ocean if they were standing on the beach.

 

[SuspectCorner]

I’d like to see the FO get ahead of a re-signing for a change.

 

[ATXSRT]

He's still got next season and then a 5th year option in 2026. And a franchise tag too if they wanted to.

 

[fivetwos]

Let more leaves fall, allow the price go way up, eventually sign him to a record deal for his position, then claim there’s no money to sign anyone else…..but simply try to maintain what we already know wasn’t enough. That’s the Jones method.

Expect no changes despite the “long hard look.”

 

[beware_d-ware]

I'd offer Smith that Dickerson contract right now without even blinking.

Tyler's 23 years old, is playing elite football, and has no holes in his game. You don't let players like that get away.

Roseman didn't waste any time. If Smith was on the Eagles he'd be locked up already too.

 

[WillieBeamen]

Put him at LT and re-sign him after this season

 

[KingCorcoran]

5th year options and franchise tags hit the cap in their entirety. Should just sign him to a deal now that starts in 2026 that offers some flexibility managing the salary cap.

 

[DallasDW00ds0n]

This guy deserves it more than Osa

Only reason Osa would get it first is because this FO doesn’t take DL seriously and they literally have like 3-4 players signed right now

 

[TequilaCowboy]

I don’t mind getting extensions for OL or DL as long as they earned it. Trenches need to be kept intact; the skilled position players can be interchangeable and average. Franchise QB is a different animal.

IOW, sign the guy Jerry, you idiot. Talking about Tyler, not Osa.

The Jones boys don't often extend 1st round picks after the 3rd season. They like to wait until after the 4th season so that the contract costs more in real dollars, and more against the cap on average.

He has a fifth-year option as a first-round pick and Dallas will probably follow course and take the option, then try to extend him next year.

And for a player that isn't coming off injury lol

Jaylon, Steele, Gallup, they thought they were slick...

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

Yeah its not coming as soon as people think.

Steele was healthy though. Jaylon was too. Gallup for sure was hurt I remember that one. Probably got him on a cheaper deal then had he been healthy but still.

Never complains hardly misses any games he’s excellent at either guard or tackle . A corner stone like Parsons & Bland . Wouid love to see him mentor Tyler Guyton who has immense talent .

 

[Tussinman]

Steele actually missed the last couple games of 2022 (along with both playoff games) and they still paid him that fall coming off the injury. He had another year left so they could have easily made him play it out.
