Tyler Smith to meet with Schottenheimer about his future

[Risen Star]

Damn right. Pay him at a lower pay grade then move him up to a higher pay grade without a pay adjustment? Make sure the agent is there too.

"Hold on, Tyler...let me just check with Jerry."
If the man wants to win, he's better off elsewhere.

 

[Hawkeye0202]

Good answer.... I agree 100%

You know its bad when the HC can’t even define the position for one of the best players on his team.

You put people where they can shine. It’s management 101.

You put aces in their places....

As i said in another thread:

Tell him we prefer him to play LT and if he does well there we will give him a LT contract by end if 2026 but then he has to stay at LT

If he wants to stay at LG then fine, find a LT

 

[phildadon86]

LOL.

What a joke this has become. This franchise is a laughing stock for good reason.

I'm not reading too much into this. Smith will go back to being an All Pro guard in 2026.

We just needed someone to come in and play LT down the stretch, and since we have 4+ solid guards, it made sense to bump Smith out to tackle and put Bass at guard down the stretch to have your best 5 on the field.

Not sure what's up with Guyton, but they felt IR was the best move for him.

 

[DuncanIso]

Hes a Pro Bowl G. Not a Pro Bowl left tackle.

 

[big dog cowboy]

He has already said he wants to play LG.

I wouldn't want to piss him off!

 

[MonsterD]

Well they have no LT as of right now. They very likely won't draft one until possibly their 4th round pick as both 1st rounders will go to defense. So that leaves FA and there is 0 chance of them finding a starter at LT there.

Trade? possible they throw out the 2027 2nd or 1st for one, but that is a long shot. So they will go with the tried and true practice of starting Guyton, unless they do this with Tyler.

People need to realize it's not simple as just having Smith play at hist best position. What's important is they need to figure out who our best 5 OL are. They need to decide if having Smith at LT, Bass at LG, and Guyton at RT is better than having Guyton at LT, Smith at LG and Steele or someone else at RT.

 

[Havic]

If I’m Tyler I’m staying at guard.

 

[darthseinfeld]

His pay is right about where the top 5 OT's in the NFL are.

If he has any qualms with moving to LT, pay shouldnt be among them

 

[McKDaddy]

He has already said he wants to play LG.

I wouldn't want to piss him off!

that should be considered .... but other teams have the final say in where there guys line up. i'm fine with him wanting to have the discussion but at the end of the day he needs to go be the best he can be wherever they ask him to play.

 

[Coogiguy03]

Just tell him you're the best option, Guyton sucks!

 

[Nickyp]

Here we go again with the musical chairs on the O line. Dak will be running for his life next year. Defense will improve and the offense will suffer. Its just a fact of life at this point

Watch the Cowboys trade him for a 1st round pick. That makes three this year.
