FRISCO – The Dallas Cowboys' “open door” to Tyron Smith has just closed. The great era of “America's Team” is no different.
That was essentially a foregone conclusion. …It took him a few days to become an NFL free agent, but now NFL Network reports that Taillon, a Pro Bowl regular left tackle, will leave the organization like it was Friday and sign with Aaron Rodgers' New York Jets. there were.
“The door is open,” Chief Operating Officer Stephen Jones said Thursday before offering words of praise. “Tyron Smith is going to be a Hall of Fame football player. He's had a great career and we certainly haven't closed the door on a continued career here in Dallas. … He's… . . . One of the best left tackles to play.'' No one thinks better of Tyron Smith than this organization.
But perhaps there is still a deal looming that prevents a reunion.
No other team has blown Taillon away with an offer, but the Cowboys are clearly in “one-year deal” mode.
Because I'm sure the Dallas Cowboys don't want to give much to 33-year-old Tyron Smith with a theoretical “Blow It Up!” rebuild looming…and maybe not on a multi-year deal No…he kept looking.
Rumor has it the Jets' offer is for one year…but it's lucrative.
Smith, who has spent the past 13 seasons there, has been impressive here, earning eight Pro Bowl nominations, five All-Pro team honors and a spot on the NFL's 2010s All-Decade Team. We also know that Tyrone's bond with the Jones family is a special one, as CowboysSI.com has frequently reported.
But now he has a new job. It's about bonding in front of longtime Dallas nemesis Aaron Rodgers.
