Tyron Smith, a highly respected and accomplished left tackle for the Dallas Cowboys, known for his remarkable tenure and performance in the NFL, is on the verge of parting ways with the team.

Meanwhile, Jerry Jones also commented on Dak Prescott's contract and the team's perception, hinting at a 'Super Bowl or bust' situation and mentioning that Mike McCarthy could get a contract extension, signaling a shift towards younger talent.
