In 2012, Smith transitioned to the left tackle position, where he became a cornerstone of the Cowboys' offensive line. That same year, he was fined $15,000 for a hit during a game against the New York Giants, though he continued to gain recognition for his dominant performances on the field.

In 2014, the Cowboys rewarded Smith’s consistent excellence with an eight-year contract extension valued at $98 million, not $109 million as previously reported. This contract solidified his status as one of the highest-paid offensive linemen in the NFL.
