Tyron Smith, once a dominant force with the Dallas Cowboys, faces an uncertain future after injuries plagued his recent seasons. The Jets' offensive tackle has struggled to stay on the field, only participating in 40 games over the last five years. With a neck injury sidelining him in 2024, teams will likely consider taking a risk on the veteran if he decides to continue his career beyond 2025.
The Philadelphia Eagles present an intriguing option for Smith, offering a chance to learn from their esteemed offensive line coach, Jeff Stoutland, even though he would primarily serve as a backup to Jordan Mailata. The Cincinnati Bengals could also be a strong fit, allowing Smith to step in as a starter on a line that has failed to protect quarterback Joe Burrow effectively.
The Jacksonville Jaguars and Kansas City Chiefs are additional teams to monitor, as they seek to bolster their protection for young quarterbacks Trevor Lawrence and Patrick Mahomes. A healthy Smith could revitalize his career while mentoring the next generation of tackles.
