Signed by Cowboys Cowboys and Martin reach deal. Zack Martin ends holdout

[Point-of-the-Star]

I thought they were gonna sign Zeke to fill for him

No, Zeke plays center.

 

[big dog cowboy]

I said it when the news broke with him holding out. He would be back for the Giants game. Boom!

 

[ElGatoGrande]

But ....but .... I was told Jerry was playing hardball

He did,,, That worked out well and I'm sure that's how the Cowboys/Martin expected it to pan out. Zach gets a little extra cash to save face and gets a little paid vacation from TC,,, the Cowboys pony up a little more money but not a lot. The fans rejoice.

 

[phildadon86]

Lol. Like my thread earlier said. Jerry saw this OL and said Hellllll naw

 

[nyc-cowboy]

The only surprise for me was how soon a new extension deal was worked out. I expected Jerry’s “tough stance” to last at least another week or two, lol

Jerry on Sat afternoon -

Zack on Sat afternoon -

I can't stand greedy players...

It's a business. Sort of what you are implying is, "I hate greedy players but I love greedy owners". This is 100% a business. In business you flex your muscles when you have leverage. Zack had leverage and won. Great for him. There's nothing greedy about it. It's just called "business" in America.
Jerry Jones paid a couple hundred million on the Cowboys and they are worth 9 billion now. Is Jerry greedy? Nope. He's just a good businessman just like Zack Martin is.

zeke is too slow to play guard.

 

[DoctorChicken]

Good. He is a first ballot hall of famer.

Wanting to be paid what you’re worth isn’t greedy.

I for one at happy one of the all time best Cowboys has a new deal.

This franchise is just…not serious.

Jerry saw his backup OL Saturday and say" Uh Oh" lol

One thing people never brought up was evidently Zack was just saying he didn't like that his last two years weren't guaranteed. Now they are and he goes from like 14 mil per no guarantee to 18 mil per and guaranteed.
Funny how Jerry told him to screw off and made enough to just give him what he wants a little bit later.

Martin just one more player on a long list of NFL stars that held out during training camp - and sometimes into, and through a regular season due to contract disputes.
Some HOFs among them: John Hannah, Fred Dean, Eric Dickerson ---
even the recently enshrined Darrelle Revis.

 

[cowboys5xsbs]

Not shocking

 

[PA Cowboy Fan]

I knew this had to get done. No way Jerry can claim this is a SB contender without him.

 

[aikemirv]

Just at the end of training camp - just what I figured!

Lol, half of them die or have health issues in their 50's.

A good chance that they try to add another veteran as a backup.

Would cutting our home grown first-ballot hall of famer still in his prime have proved the team was serious?
