The Dallas Cowboys have signed Pro Bowl offensive tackle Tyron Smith to an eight-year extension through 2023, making the total value of his contract worth nearly $110 million, according to multiple sources. Smith, who the Cowboys view as a cornerstone of their future, is guaranteed $40 million and will receive a $10 million signing bonus, according to sources. He had two years remaining on his previous contract after the Cowboys picked up the fifth-year option of his rookie deal in the spring. "We talk about building a program and building a football team and he was the first player that we took three years ago in that draft," coach Jason Garrett said. "He's just been everything we've wanted to build this program and this team around. He was really a young player, who we put in really on minute one of day one and he's everything that we thought he would be, both physically, intangibly and just as a person. His work ethic is fantastic. His mental and physical toughness are as good as I've been around. He just continues to grow and develop as a player. Technically he's getting better. He's getting bigger and stronger. And he's just tough, competitive. He's what you want on your football team at a really, really important position." Source: ESPN
still a 110 million contract even if it counts the hairs on his head. Personally I think that is a bit much but not my money.
Now all they have to do is to restructure it so Dez can have his extension...which will also be restructured down the line... I'm telling you...Jerry will still be paying these guys in 2050...
he just signed the extension. can't restructure it right now. they don't do that until like several years in.
Its 10 million a year for the next 10 years for a 23 year old All Pro LT. Thats the going rated for a good LT now. How is thay too much money?
