All-Pro guard Tyler Smith would like to settle where he’ll play in 2026.
In the final three games of the 2025 season, the Cowboys kicked Pro Bowl offensive guard Tyler Smith out to left tackle with injuries at the position.
At the time, it looked like that may have just been a temporary movement for Smith, who has played left tackles at times for Dallas and played it in college at Tulsa. Now, it seems that a full-time move to left tackle could be in the cards, and Smith is hoping to get clarity as the offseason begins. That will happen Monday as he meets with head coach Brian Schottenheimer.
“Yea, I would like there to be some clarity, for sure. And I’ll get that, we’re going to have those conversations when we have a conversation later today. I’ll kind of get that clarify from him and what their vision is and what they say.” Smith said.
Schottenheimer is conducting exit interviews with his players on Monday and Tuesday this week before turning to his coaching staff on Wednesday and Thursday. Smith already has an idea of what he’ll say in his meeting with the head coach.
“I do have some thoughts on my mind that I’m going to share with him, and of course I think he has some thoughts on it as well,” Smith said. “So we’ll see what comes of that conversation, but we haven’t spoken about it yet.”

For the fourth time, he threw for more than 4,000 yards and had at least 30 touchdown passes. He completed at least 60% of his passes in each of the first 15 games. He became the franchise’s all-time leader in passing yards (35,989), passing Tony Romo. He is tied for the NFL lead with six 300-yard passing games. He is tied for third in multi-touchdown passing games (10).
He was named to the Pro Bowl for the fourth time.
Prescott said he felt like his game reached a higher level in 2025.
“It’s exciting knowing in Year 10 I’m playing my best, and I’m only going to get better in my mind about the way that I work and what I put into this game,” Prescott said.
But the Cowboys’ season ended with Sunday’s 34-17 loss to the New York Giants. At 7-9-1, the Cowboys missed the playoffs and wasted one of Prescott’s prime years.
“I hope to say the same...
