The Dallas Cowboys have made Tyler Smith the highest-paid guard in NFL history, signing the two-time Pro Bowl lineman to a four-year, $96 million extension with $81.2 million guaranteed. The 24-year-old, a versatile force on the offensive line, becomes the third young starter this offseason to receive a long-term deal, signaling the Cowboys' commitment to building their core.

This weekend, DK Metcalf faces his former team, the Seattle Seahawks, for the first time as a Pittsburgh Steeler. Despite the media attention, Metcalf is downplaying the reunion, calling it "just another football game." The two-time Pro Bowler, who was traded in March, is coming off a strong debut with his new quarterback, Aaron Rodgers. The matchup is an intriguing one, as the Seahawks' defense knows exactly what type of deep threat he is.

Several key players will be out for Week 2 of the NFL season. The Buffalo Bills' defense takes a major hit with DT Ed Oliver ruled out with an ankle injury. The Dallas Cowboys' secondary will be without All-Pro CB DaRon Bland (foot). Other notable injuries include Packers WR Jayden Reed (collarbone), who will have surgery and is out until November, and Vikings LT Christian Darrisaw (knee), who will miss the Sunday night game.
