FRISCO, Texas -- Eight-time Pro Bowl left tackle Tyron Smith knew in his gut that the Dallas Cowboys were home when he arrived on his pre-draft visit 14 years ago back in 2011 before going ninth overall in the draft out of USC.

Tyron Smith has signed a ceremonial contract allowing the standout left tackle to retire with the Dallas Cowboys.

Therefore, it was no surprise that Jones paid an emotional tribute to Tyron Smith at his retirement press conference on Wednesday in which he proclaimed Smith a future Hall of Famer. Jones said he wants to be the first one to shake Smith's hand when he enters Canton.
