Tyler Smith moving could cause contract drama<\/p>\n
Though Smith is up to do whatever the team needs him to do, he understands this is a business. In the offseason, he became the highest-paid guard in the NFL at $24 million per year. The only problem? The highest-paid tackle in football makes $28.5 million a year.<\/p>\n
Could the difference lead to Smith demanding more? If so, it could be a little bit of unexpected drama. Though the difference wouldn\u2019t be massive, disagreements on positions are commonplace in the NFL.<\/p>\n
\u201cUltimately, I\u2019m going to do what\u2019s best for the team,\u201d Smith said postgame. \u201cAlso, I\u2019m a smart player. I understand who I am, where I am, and ultimately what I\u2019m getting paid to do. So I\u2019m going to be smart, we\u2019ll have those conversations when we have those conversations.\u201d<\/p>\n
Smith admitted he takes a lot of pride on his versatility, and he is open to playing whichever position he\u2019s asked to.<\/p>\n
Keeping Dak Prescott clean is a must<\/p>\n
With only two more games left to be played, the Cowboys have only one more chance to get a win streak going, which would be only their second of the season. If Dallas is going to play to win, they need to ensure they can keep Dak healthy. Moving Smith to tackle yielded results on Sunday, as Prescott was sacked once and hit only three times.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tyler Smith moving could cause contract drama Though Smith is up to do whatever the team needs him…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":99564,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[102,932,104,103],"class_list":{"0":"post-99563","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-dallas","8":"tag-dallas","9":"tag-dallas-cowboys-news","10":"tag-dallas-headlines","11":"tag-dallas-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/99563","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=99563"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/99563\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/99564"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=99563"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=99563"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=99563"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
