Tyron gone for 6.5mil? Something has changed

[buybuydandavis]

Tyron made 2nd Team All Pro and went to the Jets for a 1year 6.5mil contract.

He only missed one game in the 2nd half of the season, and played the last 3 games. He's not injured and is playing great.

We've spent almost that much for backup swing Ts in the past. As a percentage of cap, we might have spent more.

We stuck with Tyron coming off inferior play and more injuries for much more money than 6.5mil.

Something has changed. I would have expected them to jump at that price.

Tyron Smith is the classic case of only break glass in case of an emergency....He can't stay healthy, when he's somewhat healthy, he can't practice, his only value at his age is as a backup swing tackle, so it was time to move on.....

Seems the old man has given up on this team.
More changes are on their way so buckle up..............

I agree, this year feels very different than previous years. His deal this year is roughly $6M with incentives to get to $20M. Last season the Cowboys paid him a $3M base, $3M signing bonus + incentives to get him to $17M. WIth the cap going up about 10% this year it's basically the same deal the Cowboys were willing to do last year. Hes still a quality LT when healthy and played in 14 games last year. Considering scrubs like Jonah Williams are getting $15M in free agency to play T, Tyron is not a bad signing at all given his incentive based contracts hes willing to sign.

I mean you are correct he’s oft injured but saying “only value” is as a back up to an all pro is a bit silly. It was 6.5 million only guaranteed it’s worth the risk to see if you get another all pro year from him

IT was his time to go, man all the missing practice, missing games, I understand why he's on a new team. Time to move on

That belt is much tighter than usual and they’re choosing not to rework anyone to free up space. If they had the money.. every single Cowboy would’ve been back. Tyron, Pollard, Biadiscz, Gallimore. It’s desperate times when they can’t keep their own FAs.

It’s up to $20m on the contract

 

[thunderpimp91]

It’s up to $20m on the contract

But it was up to $17M on the contract a year ago, so i still think the OP is correct. Something has changed as they were willing to do basically the same deal a year ago and now they are not. Could just be a Tyron specific issue, could simply be they like Tyler Smith at T, or it could be something bigger.

I just don't get what's going on what's the real reasoning

He can't play a full season anymore, your naive to think he can, it's not about the money, it's about availability, and running Richards, or Edoga or Walenski our there every other week is NO WAY To run a franchise at such an important position which protects the blind side of the quarterback...Tyler Smith was drafted specifically to be Tyrons replacment, so it's time to move Tyler back outside, let Bass, Richards and Edoga battle it out at left guard and draft center Jackson Powers-Johnson in the first round...

And if he hit the incentives for $20m (he won’t) then it would be way past worth the money because it means he was always on the field and likely had an amazing year

Tyron was solid when he played, but he isn’t the same player as he once was. Problem is the him, you don’t know when he will be in the lineup and he kills continuity among the group being out so much.

2nd Team All Pro
Healthiest season since at least 2019.
Played 9 out of our last 10 games.

 

[visionary]

Watch him play all season this year

I’d rather have Tyron smith for 13 games playing at an all pro level, then have to replace 2 offensive lineman in the same year for a team that’s supposedly competing for a championship. That’s my preference. I also think it’s ridiculous to move Tyler smith now after he has played so damn good at his position.

Jpj is going to be gone. Regardless saying Tyron is only a back up is silly

No one knows what’s going on. This FO is out to lunch!

So he missed almost half the season, and your defense is he played more games than the last 5 years proving my point he can't stay heathy.
