"Guyton, 24, played right tackle at Oklahoma before he was drafted by the Cowboys in the first round (No. 29 overall) of the 2024 draft. He was asked to flip to the left side in Dallas, a switch that clearly did not take right away."
"As a result, the Cowboys are poised to hold a competition for the starting left tackle job this summer, according to The Athletic's Jon Machota."
"Dallas intends to keep Smith at guard, where he has earned three straight Pro Bowl nods after an uneven rookie year at left tackle, his college position."
"Shelton, 22, started at left tackle for the Nittany Lions for most of the last four years with some split duties on the right side in 2023."
The Cowboys are returning all five starting offensive linemen, but the left tackle position is uncertain due to underperformance. Guyton, a first-round pick, struggled in his rookie season, allowing six sacks and committing 18 penalties. Although he showed some improvement in 2025, his performance still fell short of expectations. The Cowboys plan to hold a competition for the left tackle job, with Thomas and a recent draft pick also in contention. Smith will remain at guard, maintaining a strong interior line.
