Smith, a two-time All-Pro player and eight-time Pro Bowler, has proved to be one of the league's best blindside protectors throughout his 13-year tenure in Dallas. He will likely be highly coveted on the free-agent market.

The 33-year-old offensive lineman struggled with injuries that caused him to miss multiple games last season, during a year in which quarterback Dak Prescott was sacked the most times in his career since 2018 (39).

Dallas selected Smith with the No. 9 pick in the 2011 NFL Draft out of USC.
