Steele’s Pockets Run Deep

Terrence Steele gets a new contract before the season starts. The Undrafted Right Tackle will be here for five more years.

The Dallas Cowboys have agree to terms with their Right Tackle, Terrence Steele. Steele, was undrafted in 2020 signed a five year/ $86.8 million dollar contract. Up to $50 million of his contract will be guaranteed. A big jump from when he signed for three years/ $2.2 million out of Texas Tech. This is huge win for all involved. The Cowboys have found someone to anchor the right side of their line along with Zach Martin (Martin resigned during training camp for two more years) and it would be asinine to let him go. The Cowboys put their trust in Steele and he rewarded them by becoming one of the best Right Tackles in league.

Unfortunately, Steele missed half of the year last season due to injuries. Among the injuries was an ACL injury. He got injured in December, and the Cowboys run game was never the same. They went from averaging almost 150 yards per game to just 107 yards. The Cowboys saw the difference. One of the reasons to get this deal done. The main reason is that the team isn’t just investing in a player or a position. They are investing in him. The young man with the stellar work ethic and hunger for success. For Steele to get his new deal, he would have to rehab and work his way back into the player he was. Steele is no stranger to hard work. He took his rookie bonus/incentive money and got with Duke Manyweather and started to hone his craft. Steele went from a player barely worth playing to a stud. He attacked his rehab the same way. Never missed a treatment/rehab assignment just three months after his operation, Steele and Duke were back in the lab again. He shattered through previous timelines for recovery and will be in the starting lineup next week vs the New York Giants.

That dedication and hard work dtook Steele from an undrafted free agent to one of the highest paid right Tackles in the NFL. In his three year career, Steele has seen the highs and the lows. Now his sights are on something even higher. As the Cowboys have paid him his money and respect, Steele now looks to help this team reach a Conference Championship and find a way to return to the Superbowl.
