The Dallas Cowboys faced a challenging 2024 season, falling short of expectations largely due to injuries and subpar performances in critical positions. With a total of 35 sacks allowed, they rank 17th in the league for the most sacks given up, indicating a need for improvement on the offensive line. A significant contributor to this issue has been rookie Tyler Guyton, who has struggled to make an impact, ranking 111th out of 135 tackles according to Pro Football Focus.
As the Cowboys look to address their left tackle situation, one potential solution could be re-signing Tyron Smith, who has performed well with the New York Jets this season. This move seems logical, considering Smith's experience and the need for stability on the line. In contrast, Chuma Edoga has faced injury problems and will also be a free agent, raising questions about his reliability for the upcoming season.
Fans are eager for the Cowboys to consider a running back in the upcoming draft, but there’s also a case for selecting another offensive tackle, such as Will Campbell from LSU. While it may be premature to give up on Tyler Guyton, the team must ensure he improves significantly next season to avoid repeating the mistakes of 2024.
