After failing to win a playoff game this year, the Dallas Cowboys will look to regroup and rebuild in the offseason. One player that apparently won’t be around in 2024 is veteran offensive tackle Tyron Smith.

According to NFL insider Ian Rapoport, Smith will look to test the free agency market when new league year begins on March 13.

“My understanding is he is unlikely to re-sign in Dallas. The end of an era,” said Rapaport during a recent clip on his X accoun

Since being drafted by the Cowboys with the ninth overall pick in the 2011 NFL draft, Smith has established himself as one of the game’s premier offensive lineman. He has played in a 170 regular season and playoff games for the franchise over 13 seasons.

If Smith does decide to move on from the Cowboys, there will be no shortage of suitors for the 33-year-old lineman.

“He is going to be an extremely coveted free agent,” added Rapaport.

Cowboys fans will be disappointed to see one of their most reliable players moving on. Smith is the longest-serving member of the roster. He is an eight-time Pro Bowler and has been selected to the All Pro first-team on two occasions.
