The Dallas Cowboys are working on their backup plans now that Tyron Smith is out.
The Cowboys brought in veteran left tackle, Jason Peters, on Wednesday for a visit. On Friday, the Dallas Morning News’ David Moore said the team was negotiating a contract with Peters.
Although he is now 40 years old, Peters played in 15 games for the Bears last season as their left tackle and was serviceable.
The former nine-time Pro Bowler is not the All-Pro he was a decade ago for the Eagles, but he can still help a team like Dallas that is in need of a replacement for Smith.
If the Cowboys reach a deal with Peters, it will be interesting to see how positions are filled on Dallas' offensive line.
The previous plan was to have rookie first-round pick Tyler Smith play left tackle. Would a Peters signing lead them to move Tyler Smith to another spot on the line? We’ll have to see.
