However, getting one of the top offensive linemen in the\u00a0NFL draft, and the best player at his position, is never a bad thing. Now, the former Alabama star is officially a part of the organization as he has signed his rookie deal per Todd Archer of ESPN.<\/p>\n<div id=\"hkTWyA\">\n<div class=\"twitter-tweet twitter-tweet-rendered\"><iframe id=\"twitter-widget-0\" class=\"\" title=\"X Post\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/embed\/Tweet.html?dnt=true&amp;embedId=twitter-widget-0&amp;features=eyJ0ZndfdGltZWxpbmVfbGlzdCI6eyJidWNrZXQiOltdLCJ2ZXJzaW9uIjpudWxsfSwidGZ3X2ZvbGxvd2VyX2NvdW50X3N1bnNldCI6eyJidWNrZXQiOnRydWUsInZlcnNpb24iOm51bGx9LCJ0ZndfdHdlZXRfZWRpdF9iYWNrZW5kIjp7ImJ1Y2tldCI6Im9uIiwidmVyc2lvbiI6bnVsbH0sInRmd19yZWZzcmNfc2Vzc2lvbiI6eyJidWNrZXQiOiJvbiIsInZlcnNpb24iOm51bGx9LCJ0ZndfZm9zbnJfc29mdF9pbnRlcnZlbnRpb25zX2VuYWJsZWQiOnsiYnVja2V0Ijoib24iLCJ2ZXJzaW9uIjpudWxsfSwidGZ3X21peGVkX21lZGlhXzE1ODk3Ijp7ImJ1Y2tldCI6InRyZWF0bWVudCIsInZlcnNpb24iOm51bGx9LCJ0ZndfZXhwZXJpbWVudHNfY29va2llX2V4cGlyYXRpb24iOnsiYnVja2V0IjoxMjA5NjAwLCJ2ZXJzaW9uIjpudWxsfSwidGZ3X3Nob3dfYmlyZHdhdGNoX3Bpdm90c19lbmFibGVkIjp7ImJ1Y2tldCI6Im9uIiwidmVyc2lvbiI6bnVsbH0sInRmd19kdXBsaWNhdGVfc2NyaWJlc190b19zZXR0aW5ncyI6eyJidWNrZXQiOiJvbiIsInZlcnNpb24iOm51bGx9LCJ0ZndfdXNlX3Byb2ZpbGVfaW1hZ2Vfc2hhcGVfZW5hYmxlZCI6eyJidWNrZXQiOiJvbiIsInZlcnNpb24iOm51bGx9LCJ0ZndfdmlkZW9faGxzX2R5bmFtaWNfbWFuaWZlc3RzXzE1MDgyIjp7ImJ1Y2tldCI6InRydWVfYml0cmF0ZSIsInZlcnNpb24iOm51bGx9LCJ0ZndfbGVnYWN5X3RpbWVsaW5lX3N1bnNldCI6eyJidWNrZXQiOnRydWUsInZlcnNpb24iOm51bGx9LCJ0ZndfdHdlZXRfZWRpdF9mcm9udGVuZCI6eyJidWNrZXQiOiJvbiIsInZlcnNpb24iOm51bGx9fQ%3D%3D&amp;frame=false&amp;hideCard=false&amp;hideThread=false&amp;id=1918331709222736013&amp;lang=en&amp;origin=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bloggingtheboys.com%2F2025%2F5%2F2%2F24422418%2Fdallas-cowboys-sign-first-round-pick-tyler-booker-contract-details-revealed-donovan-ezeiruaku&amp;sessionId=9ad6b89b016d540200d5516913a4ba50fce4cc81&amp;siteScreenName=BloggingTheBoys&amp;theme=light&amp;widgetsVersion=2615f7e52b7e0%3A1702314776716&amp;width=550px\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-tweet-id=\"1918331709222736013\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p id=\"Bs7TVz\">His initial four years will cost $22.5 million, with a $13 million signing bonus. Since Booker is a first-rounder, if he pans out as a prospect, which everyone expects, the Cowboys will have a fifth-year option on him to use just in case a long-term extension isn&#8217;t reached beforehand.<\/p>\n<p id=\"udQH4G\">Unless something unforeseen happens, Booker will be the starting right guard for the Cowboys for the foreseeable future, taking over for future Hall of Famer Zack Martin. With Tyler Smith holding down the left guard spot and Cooper Beebe at center, Dallas has the interior of their offensive set for quite some time.<\/p>\n<p id=\"OdlFTX\">Also of note, the Cowboys have signed the rest of their draft class with the exception of DE Donovan Ezeiruaku and RB Jaydon Blue.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Dallas Cowboys officially have first-round pick Tyler Booker under contract There was a tad bit of uproar when guard Tyler Booker was taken with the 12th&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":45776,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-45869","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nfl"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.8 -
