Besides, the Jones boys probably want him to stay at LG until after his extension or new contract is signed.
If I am his agent, I would put automatic payscale adjustments in Smith's contract just in case they move him LT
can we stop spreading false narratives,
Jerry's never been cheap when it comes to his own players..
if they were drafted or brought in here as rookies and they excel, they get paid, they get paid well...
actually they get overpaid in most cases, this whole thing about being cheap is his lack of aggression and free agency and making big trades, that's it that's where this whole money thing comes from..
Jerry is not afraid to spend the money on his own players it's a fact they're all almost making market money we've got a top 5 paid player at corner at right tackle wide receiver quarterback and before that we had one of the top paid running backs one of the top paid left tackles he even overpaid Jalen Smith and shouldn't have you think that he's worried about a couple of $1,000,000 more between the guard and left tackle no if you're that good you're going to get paid as good as a tackle doesn't matter if you're a guard nowadays if you're a top offensive lineman you will get paid like a top offensive lineman Jerry's not sitting there going well we're going to move him after his contract's up it's the most ridiculous there it is I hear you think he sits around thinking about oh I better hold this player down pay him a few million less and then we'll make the switch later..
That's not even close to the truth there is no truth to it at all that's all rumor it's all false narrative it's things that people like to spread around Jerry Jones because they hate everything about Jerry Jones so they just make stuff up as if it's gonna be sold to everyone is the truth and it's not those of us who pay attention to the Cowboys know Jerry will pay all his players well he redid Martin's contract when he knew he shouldn't have he should not have gave him that bonus money and converted it all to guarantee money because he knew it and guess what Martin stole that money and retired he never earned it but Jerry paid him...
That happened at the end of Emmett Smith's career , Emmett should have never got that third contract he got it because it was a legends contract, or we call a legacy contract, he didn't earn it he shouldn't have got it he should have been cut...
I mean, do I need to go on because even tank got paid and overpaid at one point, they restructured his contract and still paid him about $11 million a year those last two years here he pays his players that's a fact.
Tell me a homegrown player that came here as a rookie whether it was undrafted or drafted that was a superstar or one of the top players on the team and didn't get paid because you're not going to find one....
