While much of the focus this past weekend was centered around the NFL Combine and all of the draft-eligible players hoping to boost their draft stock with strong athletic tests, teams all around the league also use the event as an opportunity to meet with agents and discuss players with expiring contracts.
Such was the case for the Cowboys, who met with Tyron Smith’s representation during the combine. Initially, there were reports of optimism from Dallas, and the expectation that the team would be able to bring Smith back for the 2024 season. Then, Saturday morning brought news that Smith is expected to test free agency and likely land somewhere other than Dallas.
