Wyatt Teller, set to hit FA, has been best player vs Cowboys
The Dallas Cowboys have a plan, and a backup plan, for their offensive line this season. Preaching the edict of getting the best five on the field, it’s not assured that the current projection will be the finished product by the time the regular season rolls around. Most expect the club, under first year offensive coordinator and OL guru Klayton Adams (and first-year OL coach Connor Riley) to trot out Tyler Guyton, Tyler Smith, Cooper Beebe, Tyler Booker and Terence Steele from left to right.
If Guyton doesn’t progress over a lackluster Year 1 performance, or if he’s shifted to right tackle for the multi-year struggling Steele, then the All-Pro Smith could be kicked out to left tackle; the position he was originally drafted to play. Dallas has multiple interior options on the club to take over at guard, including recently signed free agents Robert Jones or Saahdiq Charles, as well as Brock Hoffman. But those may only be temporary solutions.
A thorn in the side of the club over the last several years, is set to hit free agency in 2026; Cleveland Browns guard Wyatt Teller.
Teller was recently identified by Pro Football Focus as the best player against the Cowboys across the last five seasons; their Achilles Heel if you will.
Browns guard Wyatt Teller clearly got the memo that Dallas’ run defense has struggled in recent years. His 94.2 PFF overall grade in two recent matchups is carried primarily by a fantastic 93.5 PFF run-blocking grade. In Week 4 of 2020, Teller earned a 96.7 PFF overall grade and a 94.9 PFF run-blocking grade — both of which represent the best single-game grades of his career.
Adding Teller, who has made $46 million in salary through his career entering this season, could go a long way towards securing the title of best offensive line in football for the Cowboys.
