Despite the loss in Week 1<\/a>, the Dallas Cowboys<\/a> came away from their season opener with plenty of reasons to feel confident<\/a> in themselves.<\/p>\n

One of the more positive takeaways was the performance of the offensive line. Not only did Dak Prescott<\/a> go through the game without being sacked, they opened enough holes for the running backs to rip off 119 yards on 22 carries (5.4 yards per attempt).<\/p>\n

Several players deserve credit for that effort, but Tyler Smith has been the leader of the group over the past couple of seasons. Now, he could be paid like the superstar he’s become.<\/p>\n

According to Clarence Hill, the Cowboys are working on a “record-setting contract” for the 2022 first-round pick.<\/p>\n

The Cowboys are still working on what will likely be a record setting contract for LG Tyler Smith, per source<\/p>\n

Trey Smith of the Kansas City Chiefs<\/a> is currently the highest-paid guard<\/a> in the league after signing a four-year, $94 million contract extension in July.<\/p>\n

Tyler Smith is likely to surpass that average of $23.5 million with any deal he signs. The fourth-year Tulsa product has developed into one of the more consistent guards in the entire NFL. He’s excellent in pass protection and an absolute mauler in the run game.<\/p>\n

In 2024, Smith made his second consecutive Pro Bowl team and was a Second-Team All-Pro in the year prior.<\/p>\n
