The Dallas Cowboys have officially exercised the fifth-year option on 2022 first-round pick Tyler Smith. It was, making an assumption here, a pretty easy decision. News of it was reported late Thursday night following the first round of the NFL Draft and the selection of another interior offensive lineman named Tyler in Tyler Booker.

Tyron Smith has ended his NFL career by signing a ceremonial contract with the Dallas Cowboys, marking his official retirement. Although he briefly joined the New York Jets due to injuries, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones shared his happiness about Smith’s return to retire with the team where he spent 13 seasons.

The Dallas Cowboys have made their decision and have turned in the card for the No. 12 pick. Taking things down to the wire, presumably trying to find a trade partner, they instead decided to strengthen their offensive line for the second consecutive year.
