Tyron Smith to sign one day contract to retire as a Cowboy

[Blast From The Past]

Glad for him that he no longer has to endure the countless injuries and work to come back then injured again. Must be nice for him to leave that part of the game behind.

No more rehabs and long hours away from family (the ones nearest and dearest to his heart at least). I could see Tyron liking it a lot. Big guy gave us his all to his all went kaput.

 

[Ironicalicon]

Such a beast. One of my favorite Cowboys. Would-be first ballot HOFer if not for the injuries. Still gets in but might take a while.

 

[Ranching]

The only two cowboys jerseys I’ve ever bought are Demarcus Ware and Tyron Smith. Two legendary careers wasted by this franchise. At least ware got his ring.

Wasted? Lol! You may have wasted your fanhood, but they got paid handsomely and will continue to live off the Cowboys name. Ware still hangs around and this one year contract is for publicity and future opportunities.

 

[Ranching]

Great player and was able to overcome many personal issues with family and money. Hopefully, he made up with them and can enjoy his retirement with good people.

I'll see your Ware and Smith jerseys with my own... Julius Jones and Dak Prescott

I had a Julius Jones jersey, that was made into a Michael Jenkins jersey, that was made into a Ezekiel Elliott jersey.

There is an embroidery place near me that can change the letters to the exact material and shape of the letters on the authentic jerseys. Waiting for the next 21.

my favorite cowboy over the last 10+yrs.
he and zack should go into the ring of honor...tonight.

 

[Bobhaze]

ROH and HOF await. Tyron Smith was one of the greatest Cowboys of this century. Injuries are the only thing that kept him from even greater heights.

 

[baltcowboy]

Still don’t understand why we didn’t resign Tyron to help develop Guyton. Great career by one of the best left tackles if not the best in Cowboys history.

 

[Redsfan_83]

Boy I hope they try to keep him active in the organization. 1st Ballot, hall of famer, all-timer.

 

[ChronicCowboy]

He was hurt a lot but he’s still a legend.

yeah to Jethro homers like you

Wasted as in we wasted great players. Great individual careers but the cowboys have nothing to show for it except for some good regular season records.

Nobody here cares how much money or prestige they got due to the cowboys name. Most of us just care about the team winning a Super Bowl.

 

[zrinkill]

best shape of his life

He never said that.

 

[Jimbo123]

He will 100% make the hall of fame. He was a top 5 LT 8x with 5 of those being top 3. This is how Canton will have his resume based on how they do the accolades

2010 All decade team
8x Pro bowl
8x NFL top 100
4x 1st team All pro
1x 2nd team all pro

First ballot isn't super common for offensive lineman, but I'd say worst case 2nd or 3rd ballot. Easily a finalist the first year he's eligible no questions asked.

• 2× First-team All-Pro (2014, 2016)
• 3× Second-team All-Pro (2013, 2015, 2023)
• 8× Pro Bowl (2013–2019, 2021)
• NFL 2010s All-Decade Team
• PFWA All-Rookie Team (2011)
• Morris Trophy (2010)
• First-team All-Pac-10 (2010)

Old and blind.....what time is lights out at the home.

 

[plymkr]

Good deal, he was a warrior and he’ll be missed. I’m glad he’s retiring a Cowboy

That's why you're still here, welcome to the group. As for the players, over 90% of players never win a Superbowl....fans cry more than they do. Some around here say players don't care about the team, just the money. These two held out for more money, and we're ridiculed...now, boohoo, they're careers we're wasted. The laughs just keep on coming.

 

[MarcusRock]

A great Cowboy. Happy retirement with much peace.

 

[Ranching]

yeah to Jethro homers like you

I'd rather be that, than old, cranky, lonely and plain miserable...Jethro provides you with something to live for...

 

[big dog cowboy]

He never said that.
