Cowboys offensive tackle roster review: Tyron Smith's fate will determine a lot at the position

[Gambit]

Bring back Tyron.

Draft JPJ or Fraser. Done

Well I'd not say done, but a good start. There are some late round sleepers who can be brought in to develop.

 

[Gambit]

Our cap is negative 21 million.

It will not be by FA time, there are ways for the team to generate more than enough cap space

Yes.

By cutting players.

 

[PA Cowboy Fan]

It shouldn't. We need to find his replacement whether he's here of not.

 

[Gambit]

Yes.

By cutting players.

And restructures and extensions

There is more than one way forward

NO mystery on what to do.....sign him on another incentive laden contract based on his injury history, and whether you get him or not, you have to draft a OT in first round or two. Also hoping Richards and Bass and some other players on the roster can step up this season. Need quality depth.

Glad you mentioned Bass . He seemed to fill in nicely when he played G

Straight up pro.

When’s the last time anyone heard him make a peep?

Zack, the Zone’s “golden child”, held out and talked about how he was just chilling and enjoying the off season, all the while the team was in training camp,

Then he got paid

Meanwhile, Tyron accepted a fair offer, which had bonuses included based on playtime, and turned in an all-pro season.

He missed one more game than the Zones other pet cat, Tyler Smith.

And he played better than either of them.

A couple of years ago I was frustrated by his injuries, but by God, he has hunkered down and been a badass.

Team should make him a fair offer. Whatever he gets and whatever the team gets out of him, will be the way it should be.

Tyron Smith is under appreciated by some because of his lack of availability on any given Sunday. But he is the best at what he does when healthy. Back injuries can bring any human crashing down. You try and strap it up with back pain and see where your mettle measures up to. I admire this guy as he has never tried to break the bank and has been a team player ever since he was drafted along with being top notch at his craft. Bring him back as a starter and draft his replacement if possible to sit and learn from one of the best. Win-Win.

Mega millions.

Elite LT.

UFA.

He’s gone.

One year, $7.4 million is his market
