Cowboys Zack Martin reportedly not on team charter to Oxnard

[CowboyFrog]

Oooh Nooo the best gaurd in the league is going to sit out TC and not get injured for no good reason...armagedon I tell you!!!!!!
Lets see if i can fix this
Martin- "I wont more money"
SJ- "Ok Zack lets restructure your deal"
Martin-"I would love not to be at TC the first 2 weeks also"
SJ- "Cool you will "Hold out" first couple weeks, see you in Cali in a few"
Martin- "Thanks man"

How many players are in Calif when camp starts?

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 signed a big contract, got most of his money up front, and now wants to renege on the deal that gave him low salaries in the final two years that allowed the big bonus up front. That is bad faith negotiating.

Example:

Martin: I want $84million over 6 years to become the highest paid guard in the NFL. And I want $22 million up front, in the first year, and another $10 million in the second year

Cowboys: Okay, but that means in your 5th year, you’ll only have a salary of $1.7M, so we can give you all that money up front.

Martin: No problem. Just give me my money now.

Tick-tock tick-tock tick-tock tick tock

Year 5 Martin: it’s not fair that I’m only making $1.7M this year…I’m going to hold out.

Bottom line: Martin has been paid $68.3 over the first 4 years of his 6 year contract - an average of $17.075 million per season. Now he wants to renege on the last two years of his contract when his salaries are $1.7M and $14M

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

Everyone wins.

They are working out details I am sure. Martin will be A Cowboy for life. Just don’t leave it up to SJ. Let JJ handle this one..

 

[Jason 82 Witten]

I would absolutely hold out if I were him. Jerry will cave.

Only if he wants to get fined

Those are the approved cliches that almost every sports “journalist” used to plead that Lamar Jackson break the bank with his contract…..and now those same children don’t understand why there’s little money left over to pay others on the team

"get that money, you only live once" "I'd rather Zack be right and live a great life after football. Get that money boy. Don't worry about a man's money"

don't make me throw out some stats on why he should get that money..
