All-Pro and Pro Bowl LT Tyron Smith is unlikely to return!

[rambo2]

we have to go OL now. i’m pretty sure it’s likely Tyron moving on from us and not the other way around.

They could go oline, but they could go in any direction.

I told everyone he would get the Zeke treatment.

I agree with Fish here

Why would you be locked into an OT in the 1st round when it's a deep class?

Because that’s where you get the best ones.

 

[DUO_CORE]

When a team loses a known 1st ballot HoF'mer and all pro, they should be awarded an extra first round draft pick. j/k...maybe...

Must be the money.

Jets or Chiefs better chance of Superbowl plus more money. AFC is also relatively weak at tackle so pretty much a guarantee to make pro bowl as well.

Sad. For sure hofer imo. Wish he could've stayed healthier but he's a beast when he's healthy.

This is a huge mistake. Tyron’s play is what makes the offense go. He’s coming off a great year. But, his price tag is too high for our cap miser , SJ.

Well, add LT to the list of desperate needs.

I know I may be a minority on this but this is a deep OT draft. I wonder if we a find Tyron's replacement with 56 rather than 24.

Folks are freaking out because both sides are making business decisions. Tyron is going to get a sizeable deal. He’s right to take it. We are also right to want to move on.

Good point, There could be 5 OTs off the board by the cowboys pick at 24 so if there's a better overall player at 24 I could see them picking OT at 56.

Dallas needs to draft a LB, LT, DT and a C in the first round and then an RB in the second. That will fix everything.

I deserve all the jinx hate I've got coming if it were to happen, but I'll text it here any way...

The one thing this dysfunctional team DOES KNOW how to do is scout and develop first round olinemen.

The results speak for themselves.

So if it's a LT at #24 and keeping Tyler at G, then I'm okay with it.

BUT if they kick Tyler out to LT and go a different direction at #24 I'm okay with that too and that's my preferred choice. Since Tyler has already shown LT ability. It's why he was originally drafted and LTs are harder to find than guards.

It's only been 55 years for the Jets.

 

[Pessimist_cowboy]

I’d rather use Tyron’s projected money on a player in the front 7 of the defense.

Tyler is the better player at this point.
I will be pissed though if this team doesn’t upgrade Center.

 

[rambo2]

Can’t get all of them 1 first round pick.

Can trade back and get 2 of them.

 

[Tussinman]

From my perspective, I just don't get the prevailing feeling I get on this board regarding the cap. Dallas just doesn't have much money to play with and lots of holes to fill. They need linebackers, DT's, running backs, etc. They really can only free up so much room. As a result, a lot of difficult decisions need to be made

I can see it from the business decision standpoint but the huge question will be are you going to use the money saved by not signing him to actually go out and improve the team ? For example will that money saved be used to sign 2 mid level linebackers ?

It’s probably going to be option 2.Tyler moves back to LT. I still think JPJ or Barton are options at C. Bass or Richards could be looked at the LG spot.

 

[DuncanIso]

If it’s the Cowboys choice so be it, if he told them he wants to move on that’s not a good sign

No cap space.

Not saving $$$.

We do not have the cap. 29-30 mill just to tag him.
