The Dallas Cowboys are prominent to offer the NFL’s best offensive lines that can shake the opposition. But this year, Kingpin Jerry Jones is playing a gamble with new faces on the roster. However, they ran into shattering news that LT Tyron Smith will be out for a long stretch. But the franchise has a plan to make new developments.

As the regular season will begin soon, Dallas is making sure that they have a stacked team. To fill in for Tyron Smith, they might eye for some depth off the Blue Star radius.

Dallas appears to be it.” He then corrected, “Nine Pro Bowls for Jason Peters, not eight.”
