Yeah, bad offensive line, so get rid of one of the better LTs in the league to make it worse....

I'd simply draft a Tackle and play them at RT until it's time for Smith to retire/move on.

Can’t cut Tyron until next off-season and even then he’ll count 8 million against the 2023 cap. Unless he retires, he’s probably here for two more years. Same goes for just about everyone on the offense. Only cuttable players this year are Coop and Jarwin on offense.

Delusional

This is your scapegoat this offseason. It's a bad one and you should feel really ignorant as a fan that Smith is the one you're going at. Nobody thinks he's elite anymore, he can, however, play like a top 5 LT at times and no worse than top 10. You don't trade a LT like this unless you know you can replace them.

Log off and cool off. Then return and see how silly you're acting.

Smith shouldn't be cut. Have him get the ankle surgery during the offseason to remove the bone spur(s), and keep a high level OT who is on a team friendly contract. Focus on getting Josh Ball physically stronger and groom him as a potential replacement. They should also look to find another candidate in the draft who could possibly kick inside to guard for this upcoming season. Releasing Smith doesn't make any sense, given that you would not find a competent replacement on the street at the same price point.

Maybe Tyron isn’t what he once was but he’s still a top 10 tackle in football. You don’t just cut that guy.

keep him for one last run. Move lael to guard. Figure out right tackle.
One last run… we haven’t had a run in 26 years. We are not going anywhere…

Meanwhile, Aikman needs to stop drinking. Could only imagine how he'd crucify Dallas had him & his sidekick call the game.

yup, the 2 “hot mic” pissants need to know the broadcasting pecking order. A lot more people were able to keep the volume on because of their absence….bless their hearts

You don't go there without a bonafide grade "A" replacement already hired.

Tyron Smith has been an unreliable/injury prone dude for 3 seasons now, but due to his contract we can't get cut him without some $$ issues - thank our GM for that.
