Cowboys Zack Martin reportedly not on team charter to Oxnard

[88sAndHeartbreak]

He's not required to be there until tomorrow. This could be something or a bunch of nothing.

 

[fivetwos]

Give him a reasonably acceptable raise, tell him we will see you in Frisco in a few weeks.

Everyone wins.

 

[Rayman70]

Good for him.

One of the very few players on this team that's talent deserves a big contract.

Get your money, Martin. Don't back down.

he has a signed deal.

While I agree, he signed a contract. He needs to honor it. I'm torn.

 

[gimmesix]

Heard he was going to Cabo

He's already there and working out hard, which he needs to do because he's let himself go a little.

 

[Qcard]

Not surprising, but like I said in another thread, the 50K a day fine will speed things up. A deal for Martin should be easy to figure out.

Yep! The NFL handles the fines so he can't blame Cowboys..

Plus I heard on 105.3 the Fan from Broaddus that if Zack retired, he'll owe the Cowboys $$ back...

Brutal contracts!

We need guaranteed NFL contracts

 

[CowboysLakerBamaFan]

Jerruh can't back down.
if he caves...he'll look soft.

martin is a GUARD....you dont overpay a guard or look like a softie for a guard. Even a GREAT guard impacts the game only so much.

Everyone get in the basement!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

cover your heads with the big pillow on the bed.

 

[big dog cowboy]

Jerry is going to screw this up isn't he

Highly unlikely.

 

[Typhus]

Martin is not going to miss a game. This is a veteran move to miss camp, which he doesn't need anyway.

Thanks for someone realizing, all teams do it, Martins time for VIP gig.

 

[big dog cowboy]

Martin is not going to miss a game.

Of course he's not. The handwringing over this is ridiculous.

 

[Typhus]

Chill peeps, we are not going to upset our HOF RG,, he gets no raise but gets to chill in the tub a bit, everybody on this roster understands and respects it.

 

[Starforever]

Zeke played center, so he can fill in until the deal is done.

 

[Ranching]

cover your heads with the big pillow on the bed.

Just don't bite it......

 

[MountaineerCowboy]

he has a signed deal.

This is a business.

Get your well deserved money, Martin.

Zeke played center, so he can fill in until the deal is done.

I thought he played Speed Bump position. That was center? Hmmmmm....well he WAS in the center of the line (before getting run over like a squirrel in the middle of an interstate) so maybe you're right

I really hope that this doesn’t become an issue. He’s our best offenses player in my mind that Line, the way that it is without him would just be on Real in the Cowboys forum are gonna blow up, but I think that Jerry wants to win so and I feel like that Martin does deserve a raise that dudes played hurt. He’s the best guard in the NFL in my Pinyan, hands-down, and he deserves to be the highest paid in the league. Yeah, that pushes us up against the cap but that needs to think about that when he renegotiate. you don’t get rid of the guy that watches your back

 

[Rayman70]

This is a business.

Get your well deserved money, Martin.

funny. The logic makes 0 sense. I think hes just taking days off. He will be here and play under his current terms until something is hammered out. Maybe midseason .

hes 33. Dont forget that. Id extend him 1 year and front load a slight pay raise but hes playing on his current deal.

Bad business giving big $ to a 33 year old player outside of a QB. No matter how talented he is. We can't pay everyone. We have a thing called a salary cap. Make him play on his deal then revisit it later. Did he not sign the deal he is on? Will there be a lineman summit?
