Longtime Dallas Cowboys offensive tackle Tyron Smith is retiring from the NFL after a 14-season career, as reported by NFL Network. Smith will retire as a Cowboy, having played 13 seasons with the team and spending one season with the New York Jets in 2024.
During his tenure, Smith earned eight Pro Bowl selections and was named All-Pro five times. He was a key player in anchoring the Cowboys' offensive line, switching from right tackle to left tackle after his rookie season. Smith provided blindside protection for quarterbacks Tony Romo and Dak Prescott, contributing to the team's success on the field.
Smith's retirement comes in the same offseason as fellow Cowboys great Zack Martin, who had an impressive career as a guard with the team. Despite a brief stint with the Jets, Smith will be remembered for his contributions to the Cowboys and his consistent performance as a top-tier offensive lineman throughout his career.
