Cowboys meeting with Tyron Smith, Tyler Biadasz agents on Friday at NFL combine
Hopefully Tyron Smith is back in 2024

And the Cowboys have also spoken with Michael Gallup’s rep. The Cowboys could be gauging interest in a re-negotiated contract for the wide receiver.
Cowboys officials spoke with the agent for WR Michael Gallup on Thursday morning. No decision on his future has been made. But a source believes Gallup will have a healthy market if he’s released.
