OXNARD, Calif. — Cowboys left tackle and former Moreno Valley Rancho Verde grad Tyron Smith signed an eight-year contract extension that will keep him in Dallas through 2023 and make him the highest-paid offensive lineman in the NFL.
The total value of the deal, which carries through 10 seasons, is worth $109 million with $40 million guaranteed and a $10 million signing bonus, sources said Wednesday. Smith will make $32 million in the first three years of the new contract and $97.6 million over the course of the extension, an average of $12.2 million per year.
“We have been working with Tyron for quite some time,” Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones said. “Tyron fully deserves it. He’s 23 years old and it may be the first 10-year deal I have ever done in football where I think the guy will be playing in the last year of his contract.”
