Cowboys Stud Tyler Smith Poised to Break NFL Record with Possible $100 Million Contract<\/h1>\n
Tyler Smith will potentially be the highest paid offensive lineman in NFL history when his time at the negotiating table arrives.<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n

Dallas Cowboys\u00a0offensive lineman Tyler Smith is entering his fourth season with the team and has certainly lived up to his first-round draft selection back in 2022. The All-Pro is still only 24 years old and already considered one of the best guards in the\u00a0NFL.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Cowboys\u00a0exercised Smith\u2019s fifth year last month, keeping him in Dallas until the end of the 2026 season. If things remain as they are? He’ll make\u00a0about $21.27 million in that season.<\/p>\n

Dallas has bigger plans here, of course.<\/p>\n

Smith will have a chance for a huge payday and our Mike Fisher projects that he could become the highest-paid offensive lineman in NFL history if he continues his stellar play.<\/p>\n

\u201cSmith is an ironman of sorts as he eats up snaps, and he’s a stud in most every way,” Fish says. “Dallas hit the jackpot here. That $20 million range would already place him among the highest-paid guards ever. He projects to be up and over that.<\/p>\n

“How about a five-year, $100 million extension, Jerry Jones?”<\/p>\n

Smith displays consistent high-level play in the trenches. … and not only is he poised to get richer … the two-time Pro Bowler, still just age , also might be getting better.<\/p>\n

With head coach Brian Schottenheimer and offensive coordinator Klayton Adams looking to deploy a dominant rushing attack, Smith is the type of player you need along the offensive line.<\/p>\n

The Cowboys would be wise to try and keep the 6-6, 330-pound Fort Worth native Smith on the roster for years to come. For someone who hasn\u2019t even entered his physical prime yet, Smith will only continue to seek his sky-high ceiling.<\/p>\n

This season Smith will likely prove he is a top-three guard in the NFL and the Cowboys should prepare to open their pocketbooks for him next summer. … maybe to the tune of $100 million.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
