Wednesday Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones gave star left tackle Tyron Smith a nice eight year extension worth $98 million in new money, a $10 million signing bonus with $40 million guaranteed.
Smith is one of the best offensive tackles in the game so it’s smart to lock him up for another eight years making it a total of ten because he has a remaining two years left on his current contract. Smith is only 23 years of age currently. Tony Romo won’t have to worry about his backside for the remainder of his career.
Smith got paid major coin, but tackles are hot commodities in the NFL so it all evens out, now let’s see how much Dez Bryant receives from Mr. Jones in the near future.
