Cowboys News: Terence Steele Just Signed a 5-Year, $82 Million Contract Extension That Runs Through 2028
Cowboys first-team offensive line is together for third time in four games: LT Tyron Smith, LG Tyler Smith, C Tyler Biadasz, RG Zack Martin and RT Terence Steele.
Steele has a dismal 50.6 grade from Pro Football Focus in 2023. The veteran is on pace for his lowest PFF performance since his rookie season in 2020. This is alarming as Steele just signed a five-year, $82 million contract extension that is slated to run through the 2028 season.
Steele has a $7.25 million salary and $11 million cap hit in 2024. Dallas does not have an out in Steele’s deal until 2026, meaning the Cowboys are on the hook for his contract for the foreseeable future. Blogging the Boys’ RJ Ochoa believes there is plenty of blame to go around the roster for the team’s loss in Philly.
“Michael Gallup’s drop. Luke Schoonmaker being short. Dak Prescott stepping out of bounds,” Ochoa tweeted. “Terence Steele allowing the late sack (plus a lot more). You simply cannot make that many mistakes like that against one of the best teams in the NFL.”
Cowboys Rumors: Dallas Faces a Decision on Tyron Smith’s Future
After the season, Dallas faces decisions on the offensive line including the future of eight-time Pro Bowler Tyron Smith. The veteran will be a free agent in 2024 with his eight-year, $97.6 million contract set to expire after the season.
Cowboys news and rumors continuously mentioned Smith as a potential cut candidate last offseason. The star tackle agreed to restructure his deal heading into the season. ESPN’s Dan Graziano suggest Smith’s time in Dallas may be coming to an end.
“The Cowboys’ first-round draft pick in 2011, Smith turns 33 in December,” Graziano wrote on November 3. “Dallas first extended him on an eight-year deal in summer 2014, and ever since that day, the Cowboys have been able to restructure and/or extend Smith’s extremely team-friendly contract to get more cap space out of it. Smith, who is 26th among tackles in pass block win rate (88.9%), has been the gift that keeps on giving.
“… Who knows if Tyron Smith will even want to keep playing after this season. But with a replacement being groomed and massive extensions on the horizon for Lamb, Micah Parsons and Dak Prescott, he might be playing out the final months of his stellar tenure in Big D.”
In the end, these photos sum up the Cowboys’ narrow loss to the Eagles.
