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

[mcmvp]

Don't think any player is crazy enough to leave 13 million on the table, but stranger things have happened...

I don’t either… It was a game of poker. The reason Zack won is because he’s already made a ton of money and, at his age, he could threaten retirement.

The Cowboys won too.

Lol… the Cowboys had no choice.

 

[Calvin2Tony2Emmitt2Julius]

Oh geez.

Jerruh caved.

He'll have a bullseye on his back next year.....half the team will be coming to him for a new deal.

Enjoy that 33 YEAR OLD GUARD jerruh.

You Just have to have something to Beeyotch About. Who would you strat over Zack !!!!!!!!

 

[TwoDeep3]

And all the nail biting and hand wringing was for naught.

 

[JayFord]

im sorry

are some of yall upset we paid the BEST member of our offense?

our skill players aint doing jack squat unless Martin does his job and Martin can play both guard and tackle at a elite level

 

[Calvin2Tony2Emmitt2Julius]

He is getting about 8 million a year raise. Does any one actually believe any business that this is a decision made today, last week, last month ?

What a gullible Breed

 

[manster4ever]

of course. never was a doubt in my mind he'd be in the fold before Week 1.

My thoughts exactly JK19....he's the best overall football player from his draft: 2012 I believe and probably the 2nd best player on our team behind Parsons...he's a MUST and also the best Guard in the league or one of them. I lost NO sleep over it....Jethro and his puke kid stepped up cuz they had to. Congrats Zack.

When Jerry says he wont cave, we all know that he will

No player is going to leave the team at this particular point in order to hold out for a better contract.

Which player/players, not already noted by Jones himself, is indispensable enough to hold out before the beginning on next year's training camp?

Jones has already acknowledged the need to sign Parsons, Lamb and Diggs while extending Dak.

Is there anybody else left who can create stress if they hold out?

Jerry Jones is not creating a trend.

Zach got what he wanted. Jerry was just posturing. He had no choice. They should've drafted a first round OL upgrade if they didn't want that to happen....

 

[Whirlwin]

Never expected any different outcome

I would have pushed it further if I were Jerry.

I am still wringing my hands over the salary cap implications...

Probably would’ve just cost him a little more

John, I'd like for you, if you would indulge me, to explain why you are worried about the cap.

The team never actually pays top dollar for free agents. Jerry and Stephen use NFL coupons and shop the cast offs bins of other teams to the point suggesting if they had more money, the implication would suggest they would change their tactics/cheapness.

So what about the cap's current state of affairs leads you to believe they will not have enough money to throw it at whomever they want to sign that fits within their miserly posture?

If you were being sarcastic then, mea culpa, and well played.

More like $4 million a year raise. He's been averaging $14 million. (You also need to subtract a $1 million in fines)

Wha?

Yeah ok on the numbers but point is you don't just reach in to Petty Cash and snatch out 4 million dollars. This was planned all along . Zack tweeted earlier that he'd see Tyron soon

That's all I'm saying

Peanuts in the big scope of it. Salary cap will go up way more than his raise next season. Premier player, captain of the OL. 3-5 years still left, probably. Dude is an anchor, a top G. If the Cowboys didn't want that to happen, they should've take the top G in the draft. They had every chance to. They didn't do it, miscalculation. If Mazi ends up a bust, they'll hate that worse than paying Zach.
