When it was recently revealed that offensive lineman Tyron Smith would be leaving the Dallas Cowboys in free agency to sign a new contract with the New York Jets, the team lost a significant portion of its offensive line strength. Over the past ten or so years, Smith has been a cornerstone of both the Cowboys’ running game and Dak Prescott. With free agency continuing and the NFL Draft approaching, the organization will now search for methods to replace the vacuum he leaves behind.
The Cowboys made a noble move on Tuesday by posting a poignant video tribute to Smith for his time wearing a Dallas uniform on their official team account on X, the social media platform that was formerly known as Twitter. The caption said, “Thank you, 77!”
A montage of films featured Smith being drafted by the Cowboys and other noteworthy moments during his outstanding career with the team.
Smith also expressed his appreciation to the Cowboys organization via an Instagram post.
Smith wrote, “Cowboy Nation,” and according to NFL.com’s Eric Edholm, “Humbly, I don’t even know where to begin. I have so many individuals to thank for making my time in Dallas so special; thirteen years is definitely a long time to summarize in a brief letter. Cowboy Nation, you have supported us throughout the entirety of this long and crazy journey that has been full of ups and downs.
The NFL Draft, which is scheduled to start in late April, will now be the Cowboys’ focus.
