Tyron Smith will most likely return to the Dallas Cowboys at some point.
In contrast to what transpired on Monday, when the all-time All-Pro gave an emotional formal farewell, this will be an emotional ceremonial reunion.an official farewell from the great Tyron Smith, a former offensive lineman.
Tyron thanked “Cowboy Nation” on social media, saying, “I appreciate everything. Even though I’m eager to start this new chapter in my football career, Texas will always hold a special place in my heart. Until our next meeting…
That “meeting” in the future will probably take the shape of Smith, 33, deciding to sign a “one-day contract” at some point in order to terminate his Cowboys career. But in the interim?
The whole speech delivered by the eight-time Pro Bowler and potential Hall of Famer.
“God, I’m not even sure where to start…
“It’s difficult to condense thirteen years into a single, brief message to all the thousands of people who have contributed to my unforgettable Dallas experience. Cowboy Nation, you have all supported us during this long and crazy journey that has been full of ups and downs.
“I was fortunate enough to be offered the chance to play with the Dallas Cowboys in 2011 as a young player out of USC. My only goal has been to give this organization, my teammates, and the fans all I have since the day I was chosen. I enjoyed being a Cowboy and building ties with folks throughout the years who will always have a special place in my heart.
The Dallas O-Line Room will always have a particular place in my heart. Traditions were formed and teammates were bonded into brothers inside those four walls. You have no clue how much I value all of the ways you’ve helped me grow—not just as a player, but as a 20-year-old boy and into the man I am today. I’ve learned so much from you guys.
“To the Jones family, I express my gratitude for the incredible chance to play for the Cowboys and for the life-altering event for which my family and I will always be appreciative. I’ll never forget the rush I got when I ran out of the AT&T Stadium tunnel or the thunderous applause that followed a huge play.
“The Cowboy Nation, Even though I’m eager to start this new chapter in my football career, Texas will always hold a special place in my heart. Until our next meeting…
