Dallas Cowboys trade Micah Parsons to the Green Bay Packers<\/p>\n

USA TODAY Sports’ Tyler Dragon breaks down the blockbuster trade between the Cowboys and Packers that sends Micah Parsons to Green Bay.<\/p>\n

Sports Pulse<\/p>\n

The Dallas Cowboys<\/a> have the highest-paid guard in the NFL once again.<\/p>\n

Seven years after handing out a record extension to franchise icon Zack Martin, Dallas has agreed to a four-year, $96 million extension with left guard Tyler Smith<\/a>, per multiple<\/a> reports<\/a>. This extension moves him past the Kansas City Chiefs<\/a>‘ Trey Smith<\/a> as the highest-paid guard in NFL history.<\/p>\n

The No. 24 overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, Smith was set to entire the fourth year of his five-year rookie contract. Dallas picked up his fifth-year option that would keep him with the team through 2026.<\/p>\n

Smith made his second consecutive Pro Bowl in 2024 and Pro Football Focus ranked him<\/a> as the No. 22 guard in the league among 136 qualifying players. He started out at left tackle as a rookie before moving to left guard in his second season.<\/p>\n

The Cowboys<\/a> made waves this offseason by not coming to terms on a deal with star edge rusher Micah Parsons<\/a> and dealt him to the Green Bay Packers<\/a>. But they also agreed to extensions for tight end Jake Ferguson<\/a>, cornerback DaRon Bland<\/a> and defensive tackle Osa Odighizuwa<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Tyler Smith contract details<\/p>\n

This new extension makes Smith the highest-paid guard in NFL history and one of the highest-paid offensive linemen league-wide. Here are the specifics, per multiple reports:<\/p>\n

Length: 4 yearsTotal value: $96 millionAverage annual value (AAV): $24 millionGuaranteed: $81.2 million<\/p>\n

His AAV is just ahead of Trey Smith – who signed a deal earlier this offseason – by just $500,000, per OverTheCap<\/a>. Among all offensive linemen, Smith’s AAV ranks ninth in the league.<\/p>\n

His total guaranteed money is more than any other offensive lineman in the NFL by a considerable margin. The next-closest is the New York Giants’ Andrew Thomas at $67 million and the next-closest guard is Atlanta’s Chris Lindstrom at $48.2 million.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Dallas Cowboys trade Micah Parsons to the Green Bay Packers USA TODAY Sports’ Tyler Dragon breaks down the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":141133,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[559],"tags":[620,634,2533,17795,64,63,96257,16806,23261,163,6167,1234,96256,75213,2880,95235,26139,596,70308,619,1910,19982,23255,9953,76244,1245,314,331,621,637,44,593,633,7811,96259,96258,96260,323,451,76245,439,9030,13477,85,635,155,7772,3609,78982,8731,72349,50572,31956],"class_list":["post-141132","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-american","tag-american-football","tag-andrew","tag-andrew-thomas","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-bland","tag-chris","tag-chris-lindstrom","tag-cowboys","tag-dallas","tag-dallas-cowboys","tag-daron","tag-daron-bland","tag-exclude","tag-exclude-smart-fronts","tag-ferguson","tag-football","tag-fronts","tag-hub","tag-jake","tag-jake-ferguson","tag-lindstrom","tag-martin","tag-micah","tag-micah-parsons","tag-modular","tag-modular-story","tag-national","tag-national-sports","tag-news","tag-nfl","tag-nfl-hub","tag-now","tag-odighizuwa","tag-osa","tag-osa-odighizuwa","tag-overall","tag-overall-positive","tag-parsons","tag-positive","tag-smart","tag-smith","tag-sports","tag-sports-news","tag-story","tag-thomas","tag-trey","tag-trey-smith","tag-tyler","tag-tyler-smith","tag-zack","tag-zack-martin"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/141132","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=141132"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/141132\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/141133"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=141132"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=141132"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=141132"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
