The Dallas Cowboys are keeping their starting right tackle, Terence Steele, after coming in terms on a five-year contract worth $91.8 million, with $50 million in guaranteed money, per NFL insider Adam Schefter of ESPN.

After getting undrafted during the 2020 NFL draft, Steele went on to start in 40 of the 45 games he has played in the league for the Cowboys.

The figure included 14 of 16 games during his rookie season, which was made possible due to injuries in the right tackle position for Dallas, particularly to starter La'el Collins and backup Cameron Erving.

During his sophomore season, the 26-year-old showed signs of improvement as he started in 13 of the 16 games he played for the 2021 campaign.

Steele started in all 14 games he played for the Cowboys last season.

Terence Steele is coming off a brutal knee injury

The former Texas Tech player tore his anterior cruciate ligament (ACL and medial collateral ligament (MCL) on his left knee during the Cowboys' week 14 game against the Houston Texans on December 11, 2022.

Despite the setback, Steele made great progress during his rehab. He was not on the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list and was able to attend all practices during training camp.

Steele is expected to suit up for the Cowboys for their season opener against the New York Giants on the road at the MetLife Stadium on Sunday, September 10.

"Super proud of how I approached it and just how my teammates and my coaches and my family have been there supporting me. Without them, it would've been a lot harder," Steele said about his injury.
