We need to give him the same deal he has now and he will take it. He’s never been a greedy player and his contract is really fair to both sides

Cook? The Jets paid Cook that much? So many wannabe GMs here wanted Jerry to sign RB Cook.

He's a beast when healthy, he's going to get extended. Besides Dallas has other priorities and they wouldn't want to add LT by letting Tyron go.

Have you seen what we look like without him? Looking at Steele and Chuma I'd rather go with Tyron and hopefully draft a guy and have him be ready a season later....

We need Tyron. But, we also need a better swing tackle.

Not this one. I've seen what we look like without him and unless they want to put Tyler Smith at LT then I'd take my chances with Tyron and his health.

Don’t think it going to be as bad as it looks. Can get to about $11 million above without touching Daks contract. My bet is Lamb, Parsons and Prescott all get extended with Smith getting a one year contract. Gallup, LVA, Anger will get cut - Steele, Diggs, Wilson get restructured. Still will need a starting center, corner (maybe Gilmore resigns) and defensive line depth. Not worried about RBs, think we will have plenty of options in draft and free agency.

Lol, he is a big reason that the Cowboys are Super Bowl contenders. I suspect that he signs a 1 year deal with Dallas or retires depending on his health.

Speak for yourself. Some of us Cowboys fans respect and appreciate his hall of fame career and character.

Peter King is a joke. Hes reaching. Tyron is barely serviceable. Shows you how out of touch King is these days. Another example of the old guard grandstanding as if they know something special we fans dont. He hasn't been a real insider for 20 years. Jets will be paying him to retire, if he leaves and goes there.Dumb Idea by King.

Why would other teams be interested in Tyron while many Cowboys fans are looking to get rid of him?
The Tyron thing is a true enigma. On the one hand, when he is healthy and he plays he is as stout as they come. He had his best season in years this year - when he played. Which is the other part of the problem - his availability. They shut him down during the week now and he still winds up on the injury report. He missed only 1 game this last time, but you could see he was not 100% against the Lions. So what do you do?
If you keep him you need a good backup plan. Edoga is not it. I don't think Waletzko is either. Maybe Asim Richards will be with another offseason to get stronger.
If you let him go, then you are forced to draft a LT at whatever position Dallas will be drafting, or you have to sign someone else which will not be cheap, or you have to let Waletzko and Richards battle it out next year and let the best man win, but still nowhere near Tyron's ability when he plays. They could move Tyler out to LT, then slide Bass in at LG. I think we will see what Bass has this week in Washington when he faces Jonathan Allen.
Then their is the problem we have a RT. Steele has become a serious liability in pass protection, and his run blocking hasn't been great either. Could be he is not fully recovered from his injury from last year, or maybe he just had a good year in 2022 and now he is who he is.
As I always say when it comes to signing players, but I would like to re-sign Tyron if he is will to take a deal where he gets paid based on availability. Perhaps that would make him affordable and at least I get him for enough games to get to the playoffs and hopefully for the playoffs.
Of course if a top LT falls to the Cowboys in the draft, I would change my mind immediately.

It’s a deep draft for tackles but Tyron isn’t the weak link. He just needs a better backup. We need better qaulity depth on the line in general. Every time someone goes down , it seems the guy replacing him is an UDFA or 6th round pick. There is no reason we should have to hang our season on guys like Tyler Bass.

The Cowboys are short on draft picks this year so whatever they need to accomplish has to be done in the 1st two days.

Too bad the front office hasn’t mastered the art of trading players.

Not without a proven back up he’s too unreliable

He’s been good and I love all he’s done in Dallas and his attitude, but he’s a shell of his former self. I know this is a great pass rusher, but he’s not really a brick wall here:
