OFFICIAL: Tyron Smith signing a one-day contract so he can finish his career as a Dallas Cowboy

The Dallas Cowboys have made a concerted effort to bring in additional help from the outside during this year’s free agency rush. This signing, however, will not be towards that end but instead will be ceremonial.

Former Cowboys stalwart at left tackle and two-time First-Team All-Pro Tryon Smith is signing a one-day contract with Dallas and then will retire after 14 seasons in the NFL.

The third and final remaining member of the second iteration of The Great Wall of Dallas is calling it quits.

The eight-time Pro Bowler will hold a press conference Wednesday, April 16, to leave the NFL just as he entered the league when Dallas drafted him ninth overall in the 2011 NFL draft, as a Cowboy.

Smith is a member of the NFL’s 2010s All-Decade team and made the All-Rookie team back in 2011. His Hall of Fame resume will likely be viewed in 2030, which will sit beside fellow teammate Zack Martin, who retired just a few weeks earlier.

Smith was drafted at just 20 years old out of USC and played all 16 games at right tackle for Dallas his rookie season before switching to the left side. In his third season, Smith would begin a streak of seven straight Pro Bowl selections. He would also earn a roster spot on four consecutive All-Pro teams.

At the time, Smith became the first, first-round tackle drafted by the Cowboys since Howard Richards was taken No. 26 overall in the 1981 NFL draft.

Two years after grabbing Smith, Dallas drafted center Travis Fredrick (2013) and guard Zack Martin (2014) to form one of the league’s best offensive lines.

Smith missed just one game in his first five seasons before nagging injuries began to take their toll. He was lost for the majority of the 2020 season, ending his Pro Bowl streak. He returned to form in 2021, earning his last Pro Bowl nod, but was limited to 11 games due to injury.

He would play just 17 games over the next two seasons but earned a second-team All-Pro selection in his final season in Dallas. He would go on to sign with Aaron Rodgers and the Jets in 2024, playing in 10 games before a neck injury landed him on injured reserve, ending his career.

Next up for Smith will be his case for both the Pro Football Hall of Fame and the Cowboys Ring of Honor.
