Dallas Cowboys fans should be happy the team didn’t re-sign this future Hall of Famer

Despite Tyler Smith struggling to start the season, the Dallas Cowboys were smart not to re-sign franchise legend and future Hall of Famer Tyron Smith.

Smith’s start to his new career with the Jets has not lived up to the expectations of the New York faithful.

With the exception of the Jets’ Week 4 game against the Broncos, where Tyron Smith also struggled, he has allowed three sacks (fourth-worst in the league) and committed four drive-stalling penalties, which came on the ninth place.

According to Sportskeeda, Tyron Smith allowed just two sacks in 13 games last season, suggesting there’s a chance he could have performed better had he stayed with Dallas this season.

During his 13-year career with the Cowboys, Smith had just three seasons in which he gave up more than three sacks and two additional seasons in which he allowed exactly three sacks.

Given his injury history and the fact that he is approaching age 34, Dallas was smart not to re-sign Tyron Smith.
