Dallas Cowboys | Jaylon Smith's New Contract Big Game James & Law Nation

*Previously Recorded FRISCO, Texas -- It wasn't a contract extension for Dak Prescott or Ezekiel Elliott or Amari Cooper, but Jaylon Smith's seven-year deal with the Dallas Cowboys that was signed Tuesday allowed owner and general manager Jerry Jones to feel happy. "Y'all have been badgering my ass to get a contract done for the last three weeks. This is a contract story," Jones said. "And this is a contract story that is not just this year or not just next year, this has it all. It has overcoming. It has talent. It has rewarding an ambition. Or it just has the beginning of what ambition will get you in the future. That's the biggest, most exciting thing about this." When the Cowboys took Smith in the second round of the 2016 NFL draft, they did not know if he would be able to come close to the level of player he was while at Notre Dame before suffering a significant knee injury that included nerve damage. Fourteen months into his time with the Cowboys, Smith could not lift his right foot without the aid of an orthosis. After missing his rookie season, Smith has played in 32 straight games with 22 starts and signed a five-year extension that is worth $64 million and includes $35.5 million guaranteed, according to Cowboys executive Stephen Jones. "You took a risk, a $4.5 million risk, had I never been able to play again," Smith told the Joneses, who were sitting next to the linebacker at the news conference. "So me understanding that, it was my duty for them to get the return on their investment. They've been able to do that. And now I'm fortunate enough to really be a Cowboy for life, [which] is what I want. I'm thankful to be here, for sure." Smith also shared his thoughts on his long journey back from injury on social media on Tuesday.
