Why Tyron Smith should be signed by the Rams

The Rams ought to invite one of the Cowboys’ all-time tackles to Los Angeles as they get ready to part ways with him.

There aren’t many players in Tyron Smith’s class that are still active, making him the ninth overall choice in the 2011 draft. The rest, including Julio Jones and Von Miller, a former edge rusher for the Rams, seem to be nearing the conclusion of their careers.

And because the Cowboys are getting ready to part ways with Smith, 33, after 13 years in Dallas,

perhaps that will also turn out to be the case.

Smith has missed at least three games in each of the last nine seasons due to his inability to stay fit,

including almost all of 2020 and 2022. Nevertheless, Smith did play for the majority of 2023,

and now that Andrew Whitworth has retired and the Rams are still looking for a left tackle

(L.A. signed Whitworth at the age of 36),

it is appropriate to consider allocating some of their cap money to an improvement.

Formerly a $16 million AAV offensive lineman, he recently finished a season in

which he made only $6 million but was named to the second team of the All-Pro squad.

Though it’s important to use caution when evaluating awards,

the Rams wouldn’t be responsible for paying All-Pro Tyron Smith.

Is there a chance that Smith accepts $7 million to pursue a

Super Bowl ring with the Rams during their current winning streak?

It is conceivable.

Tyron Smith is unlikely to have many suitors given the number of teams

that have the cap room and need a left tackle among those who could

be contenders the next season. Smith is a high-reward,

reasonably low-risk signing who should be available at a discount after an unfortunate run of games lost due to injury.
