Tyron Smith Retires; Cowboys Focus on NFL Draft

Dallas Cowboys' veteran offensive tackle Tyron Smith has signed a one-day contract to retire with the team, concluding a distinguished 14-year career that included eight Pro Bowl selections. Meanwhile, Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott is recovering well from a hamstring injury that limited him to eight games last season. Prescott, entering the second year of a four-year, $240 million contract, stated he could play now if necessary but emphasizes a healthy, strategic return to ensure peak performance throughout the season. Dallas, having missed the playoffs last year, is gearing up for the upcoming NFL Draft with ten picks, crucially needing to fill gaps at running back, wide receiver, and cornerback. The franchise's draft success, particularly with their first three picks, could significantly impact their competitiveness in the new season. Prescott's recent remarks reflect his readiness to adapt and contribute to team activities cautiously, aiming for a strong comeback in the fall.
