Tyron Smith
34-Year-Old
Free Agent
Calls it a career
Smith (neck) announced Tuesday that he has decided to retire from the NFL as a member of the Cowboys, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Smith will sign a one-day contract with Dallas to retire as a member of the organization with which he spent the first 13 years of his NFL career before his single-season stint with the Jets in 2024. Now retiring with five All-Pros and eight Pro Bowls to his name, Smith consistently ranked as one of the league's top options at left tackle since being selected in the first round of the 2011 NFL Draft. Longtime teammate Zack Martin also announced his retirement this offseason.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Retires as a Cowboy
Smith officially announced his retirement from the NFL on Wednesday after signing a ceremonial contract with the Cowboys, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Smith came into the league as a 20-year-old when the Cowboys made him their first-round pick in 2011, so the fact he chose to call it a career while technically under contract with the team isn't a surprise. Smith spent last season with the Jets, but the assortment of injuries that limited him throughout the latter part of his career and rendered the 2015 campaign his last full season largely fueled his decision.
