Martin contract talks put on hold

This is bad. Martin is going to cost us a fortune.

We should have drafted Johnny Manziel instead. He'd cost us nothing at this point.

 

[Risen Star]

Mark it down. In two years time our starting G's will be Byron Bell and Nate Theaker.

 

[Romonater]

My god, I bet that you two were at the gas stations the past two days worrying that the world was going to end.

 

[Risen Star]

Bluefin likes that we can't sign Martin.

 

[SlammedZero]

That was the one caveat to drafting an Oline full of 1st round selections (that happened to pan out well) is that they are going to cost us in the long run.

 

[Bluefin]

Pretty surprised the extension didn't get done.

What would the Patriots do?

They wouldn't bend the knee i tell you that.

If being highest paid OG in the league isn't good enough for Martin, let him go.

 

[phildadon86]

I don't really see the issue with this. The deal is going to get done. Martin jyst wants to focus on the season most likely

 

[DrunkWithPower]

Would have been better to get it done now. Kicking the can down the road will only raise the cost of the contract. They should have worked harder to get this done...NOW.

Lol. Wow. You don't just let go of the best guard in the NFL. This isn't madden

 

[robjay04]

Non story.

We still have him under contract for another year.

 

[Bigwheelz34]

It'll get done. Just time to think about football and not money. Cowboys just wanna see where some more pins fall and Martin wants to make sure he can get best deal he can get. Think its a good thing to get everyone focused on games now and since this wasnt an easy solution, put it off.

Martin is a progress stopper

Let the Theaker/Bell era begin

I don't doubt it, but I Jerry doesn't seem like the type of guy to "put contract talks on hold".

 

[Texas_Pete]

Non-Issue. Jerry has not lost one player he wanted to retain.

It's an issue that's been brought up several times.

I never looked at it as a negative.

The goal is to find good players and keep them in house. Zack Martin is one of the best players in the NFL and is set to become the highest paid guard in the league when the extension gets done.

You are awful!

 

[The Quest for Six]

not really an issue, he's not going anywhere......I expect a deal to be done during the Cowboys off week...

 

[robjay04]

I don't doubt it, but I Jerry doesn't seem like the type of guy to "put contract talks on hold".

I can't remember the player but i seem to recall hearing this about a player a season or two ago.

Still---this report doesn't mean much. If one side flinches during the season, I'm sure talks will continue. He will be paid.

Oh yeah, I totally get it. You pay to play.
