NBC’s Jason Garrett returns to Dallas as an analyst, calling the Cowboys–Packers game from AT&T Stadium and doing a pregame interview with Jerry Jones. The broadcast frames the ongoing Micah Parsons trade chatter through a numbers-driven lens, linking roster-building to Dak Prescott’s window for a title alongside a strengthened supporting cast.

The piece adds texture with stadium history: the roof finally opened for a Cowboys regular-season game, a rare sight after 2-6 in open-roof contests and a near-miss when a metal plate kept a Texans game indoors. Zack Martin’s retirement moment and Garrett’s ties to the organization color the broadcast tapestry.

The Cowboys locked in Tyler Smith through 2030 with a four-year, $96 million extension, including $80 million guaranteed—the richest ever for a guard. Smith, 24, anchors Dallas’ young OL core as they reshaped the roster with four long-term deals, including Ferguson, Bland, and Luepke. Dallas also reshuffled with a trade that sent Micah Parsons to Green Bay for two first-round picks and Kenny Clark, creating cap space and preserving a payroll that now leans on Smith as a cornerstone while eyeing more extensions like Aubrey, Pickens, and Williams.
