Tyler Booker: Cowboys' Underpaid Guard

0:00On March 21st, Tyler Booker is delivering massive value for the Dallas Cowboys on his rookie contract. The guard started 14 games last season and earned the 7th best run-blocking grade among qualified players league-wide, all while earning A. Base salary under $1 million and carrying a cap hit just over $4 million. Drapted in the first round out of Alabama in 2025, Booker stepped right in and became a key part of Dallas's offensive line from day. Bleedger reports Brad Ganion called him the Cowboys' most underpaid player, pointing out how his performance sets up the team for years of stability. At guard, looking ahead, Booker will only count $5.1 million against the cat next season, giving Dallas plenty of flexibility. Rookies like him are a game-changer for teams managing tie budgets, and the Cowboys are reaping the rewards early.
