Jaylon Smith has agreed to a contract extension with the Dallas Cowboys.
Smith would have been a restricted free agent this offseason.
Smith was projected as a top-five pick but suffered a major injury to his knee, tearing two ligaments and suffering nerve damage that scared away many teams from selecting him. The Cowboys took him in the second round, No. 34 overall, in part because one of their physicians, Daniel Cooper, performed the surgery on Smith.
