Tyron Smith to sign one day contract to retire as a Cowboy

[Coogiguy03]

he had more ambition than our franchise.

yeah anyone that could take a pay cut like that all those years, what a guy!!

He gave us a long term contract that really helped us when he could have been like everyone else and gotten another big contract
showed more loyalty and integrity then he ever got from Big and Little Enos

What an awesome career wasted by the Jones’.

one of many

Performed at a hall of fame level in his prime years but then became injury prone.
I think he still gets voted in though.
That is, I hope he does.

 

[Boyzmamacita]

Thank you, Tyron. A true Cowboy for life.

Wish Tyron would have considered coming back for 1 more year, even as a backup. Pretty sure he could still play.

A Great Jason Garrett pick!

 

[Carson]

I wonder if he goes into the HOF as a Jet

 

[RS12]

Should get in the HOF but injuries and anti Cowboy bias will be held against him. Zack Martin probably gets in first.

 

[StarOfGlory]

Hall of Fame time.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

An honor to watch his career. From a 21 year old pup to an all pro. Hell of a ride.

 

[CyberB0b]

It blows my mind that he’s still only 34.

 

[Kwyn]

Happy to see this announced.

 

[DuncanIso]

Glad for him that he no longer has to endure the countless injuries and work to come back then injured again. Must be nice for him to leave that part of the game behind.

He had money problems. His fam was trying to spend his $$$ for him.

He will 100% make the hall of fame. He was a top 5 LT 8x with 5 of those being top 3. This is how Canton will have his resume based on how they do the accolades

2010 All decade team
8x Pro bowl
8x NFL top 100
4x 1st team All pro
1x 2nd team all pro

First ballot isn't super common for offensive lineman, but I'd say worst case 2nd or 3rd ballot. Easily a finalist the first year he's eligible no questions asked.

Congrats on great career Tyron!! What a great player in his prime.

Yeah remember his relative were waiting in his driveway pestering him about money. Bunch of idiots.

He was a big big man.
