PFF names Cowboys starter projected to earn $76 million one of NFL's 25 best under age 25
PFF names Cowboys starter projected to earn $76 million one of NFL's 25 best under age 25 Dallas' young cornerstone in the trenches is gaining national recognition for his consistency, growth, and all-around impact through his first three NFL seasons. In the NFL, it's never easy to make a name for oneself, especially before turning 25. However, All-Pro guard Tyler Smith has done just that, and then some. Pro Football Focus' Jonathon Macri recently ranked the top 25 NFL players under the age of 25 heading into the 2025 season, and the Dallas Cowboys' versatile guard came in at No. 22. Offensive line is one of the most difficult positions to hit the ground running at in the NFL, but through his first three years in the league, Smith has done just that, ranking in the top 10 at his position since 2022 in PFF WAR. Smith has established himself as a very good run blocker, ranking in the top 20 at his position in each of his first three seasons, though he has also developed nicely as a pass blocker. He has gradually increased his PFF pass-blocking grade each year since entering the NFL, culminating in a 76.0 mark in 2024 — a top-10 figure for the position. Since being drafted in 2022, Smith has become one of the most dependable young linemen in the league. He's logged over 3,300 snaps in three seasons, a workload that speaks to his durability and consistency, and he's backed it up with performance. His three-year PFF grade sits at a strong 79.1, and his Wins Above Replacement (WAR) metric ranks him among the top 10 offensive linemen in football during that stretch. Smith's run blocking has been a strength since Day One, finishing in the top 20 at his position in that department every year he's been in the league. But what's impressed evaluators most is his steady growth in pass protection. After entering the NFL with room to grow in that area, Smith's pass-blocking grade has improved every season — peaking at 76.0 in 2024, good for top-10 status among guards. He's so talented, he has a projected market value of a four-year, $76 million extension, according to Spotrac. Still just 23, the former 2022 first-round pick looks like a long-term cornerstone on Dallas' offensive line, a line that's quietly been retooling for the next chapter after the Tyron Smith and Zack Martin era. If his current trajectory holds, Smith will go down as one of the best at his position, regardless of age. Follow Cowboys Wire on Facebook to join in on the conversation with fellow fans!

Cowboys Tyler Booker In Prime Position For O-Line Superstardom
The Dallas Cowboys fortified its offensive line by drafting Alabama Crimson Tide offensive guard Tyler Booker with the No. 12 overall pick in the NFL Draft. Booker fills an immediate need at right guard after future Hall of Fame inductee Zack Martin retired earlier in the offseason. And the positive vibes continue as according to analyst Marc Ross, Booker is one of the 10 rookies in the best position to succeed. Advertisement "The Cowboys have a history of finding elite offensive linemen in the draft, including eight-time Pro Bowler Tyron Smith (2011), nine-time Pro Bowler Zack Martin (2014) and two-time Pro Bowler Tyler Smith (2022)," Ross wrote. "Now they have added a pro-ready guard in Booker. He's a tough, nasty and technical building block for Dallas' front. The Cowboys offense is at its best when the big boys in the trenches are controlling the line of scrimmage. Booker can help it return to being a prolific unit in the run and pass games." The new look offensive line for the Cowboys will be young and powerful, no doubt. The starting unit will likely feature Tyler Guyton at left tackle, All-Pro left guard Tyler Smith, Cooper Beebe at center, Booker at right guard, and Terrence Steele at right tackle. Advertisement Really, the maturation of second-year first-round pick Guyton is the biggest looming question mark. At the start of the 2025 season, Dallas will have four starting offensive lineman under the age of 25, with Terrence Steele being the 'elder statesman' at the current age of 27. Is there such a thing as an "O-line superstar''? Dallas can argue that Martin and another recent retiree Tyron Smith qualify. Those are monster-sized cleats to fill. So, for now? Booker will serve as yet another valuable investment in the backbone of every offense and Cowboys Nation certainly hopes he will not disappoint.

Cowboys Make Official $21 Million Decision on 2-Time Pro Bowler
This offseason's retirements of legendary Dallas Cowboys linemen Zack Martin and Tyron Smith officially signal a passing of the torch to the next generation along the offensive line. That next generation is led by guard Tyler Smith. It is now officially his turn to lead the way with his immediate future solidified. Advertisement The Cowboys on Monday confirming the plan to pick up Smith's fifth-year option to keep him in Dallas through the 2026 season at a projected price tag of $21.27 million. And on Thursday - in conjunction with Dallas making another move on a gigantic guard named Tyler (Booker, the Cowboys first-round pick in the NFL Draft), that paperwork is done. A team source tells Mike Fisher that it's 'one of our easiest (decisions) ever.' For players drafted in 2022 like Smith, teams across the league have until May 1 to decide on picking up a player's fifth-year option. Smith, coming off back-to-back Pro Bowl appearances and a Second Team All-Pro selection, has done plenty to warrant an extra year. Advertisement Smith will play the 2025 season, his fourth in the NFL, at a $2.5 million base salary, but will receive a fully-guaranteed sum in 2026. Once exercised, however, the fifth-year option does not stop teams from potentially agreeing on a more long-term extension - which in Dallas' case with Smith, should be the priority sometime next season. Since being the Cowboys' first-round pick in 2022, Smith has seen action at tackle and guard, but settled into the left guard position, opposite of Zack Martin for the last few seasons. He has been extremely durable in the process, making 47 total starts. At Tyron Smith's ceremonial press conference last week, the future Ring of Honor inductee gave Cowboys fans his thoughts on the state of the O-line moving forward. He emphasized his confidence in the returning players knowing what is required to be successful and that they are already working on putting in the work to get there. Tyron pointed out Tyler in particular, saying he has what it takes to become the next great lineman in this franchise's rich history. Advertisement "I feel like Tyler came in and set the standard that he wants to be great when he first got here and he has just increased in potential every work ethic and what he puts into this game... he has potential to be one of the greats and I just can't wait to see that show." Tyler Smith has already proven he is a foundational piece to the future of the Dallas Cowboys. Owner Jerry Jones has recognized that, and is initiating the first steps in making sure Smith turns into the all-time great so many believe he can be.

Cowboys Star Named in Obnoxious Trade Rumor
Star players on the Dallas Cowboys are no stranger to being overanalyzed and at the center of media buzz for every step they take. And sometimes desperate fans believe their team can steal good players away from the Cowboys because of the folk myth that Jerry Jones' front office is incompetent and easy to manipulate. Advertisement None of that happens because it isn't true. The Cowboys' executives - and players - know what they're doing. These outlets are often too oblivious to realize how ridiculous they sound. Tyler Smith is the subject of another example of this nonsense, with one site claiming he could "seek" a trade or demand a contract extension solely because he hired an agent. Last Word On Sports noticed that Smith found professional representation by signing with Athletes First, an agency that the Cowboys are very familiar with. So apparently, according to writer David Latham, that means Smith is planning for a change. Advertisement "Unfortunately for Smith, it's hard to envision a world where the Dallas Cowboys prioritize him," Latham says. "Owner Jerry Jones has dragged his feet with Dak Prescott and CeeDee Lamb's extensions, and the unsigned Micah Parsons is (rightfully) their top priority at the moment. "Smith could be the odd-man out, but several teams across the league could be willing to trade for the offensive lineman and give him the contract he deserves." Signing with an agent is simply a preparation move that ensures Smith goes through the negotiation process correctly. The process with the Cowboys, that is. Nobody else. Advertisement The Cowboys see this star potential more than anyone. That is why they were quick to pick up Smith's fifth-year option on his rookie contract. A team source tells that it was 'one of our easiest (decisions) ever.' That essentially shoots down any idea of Dallas moving away from him ... you would think. Bringing up the Prescott and Lamb contract timelines is one thing, but to think Smith still won't be "prioritized" is ridiculous. Dallas' first-round pick from a few seasons ago has blossomed into one of the best offensive guards in the NFL. He is greatly deserving of his Pro Bowl and All-Pro recognition ... and has the compensation to match on it's way. Advertisement The Cowboys just spent over a decade with future Hall-of-Fame guard Zack Martin - who mentored Smith for two seasons - anchoring an elite offensive line. We think the Cowboys recognize the value of the position, and they believe Smith is the next great O-lineman in Dallas rich history in the trenches. Does that mean he will get a massive extension right away? Not necessarily, because we know how the Cowboys move. But that doesn't mean it's not coming at all. An even more obnoxious thought is the idea of a trade. Smith is entering just his fourth NFL season and is already widely-regarded as a top player at his position. Dallas knows better than to move him because it would significantly set the team back from everything they've worked to build to this point. Advertisement Physicality. Durability. Leadership. Character. Tyler Smith brings it all. He's also just a dang good football player. Dallas will have to exercise some cap-space gymnastics with the other big-time contracts on the roster, but they will do everything in their power to lock down Tyler Smith for the long term. You can hypothesize, predict and dream all you want, but the Cowboys are too smart to entertain anything else.
