Martin contract talks put on hold

[Swanny]

I never really get scared about Jerry dishing out money to these guys. We all know Jerry likes to throw around his money. I have no doubt Martin will be a Cowboy for the next 5 or so years. The man deserves every penny he can get.

 

[The Natural]

Im guessing we wont hear fans advocate for a hometown discount like they did for other players we've had some contract issues with

 

[ElGatoGrande]

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.

The only people worried about it are fans letting their fears take over,,,
I doubt there are any hard feelings between the negotiators, they're just letting business run its course.

 

[TheFinisher]

I have little doubt we lock him up long term. This is why we stay out of free agency bidding madness, to retain our own.

[DoomsDayD]

Exactly how i felt when i read it. Sign the damn man...we have enough distractions this year.

 

[Nightman]

I never understood waiting until the off-season to negotiate....... how hard is it to have your agent bring you offers every now and then

Football isn't that taxing that this would be a distraction...... college kids are expected to carry a full course load

 

[FuzzyLumpkins]

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

It'll be so much more pleasant when we win a game and you go away for awhile.

 

[Mr Cowboy]

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

Sure, but by then Jerry will tell us we don't need a good OL because Dak makes the line so much better!

 

[Daillest88]

Non issue

 

[SDCowboy]

I have zero doubt he will remain a Cowboys. None.

 

[Doomsday]

The price is only going to go up next season.

 

[DrunkWithPower]

The price is only going to go up next season.

Yep. It would have been better to get it done this off-season. Just like the salary cap, the price of contracts keeps going up.

 

[Hardline]

Jerry could just pay Zack league minimum and pay him 20 million a year to take out his garbage.

 

[Proof]

Well this is annoying. And I knew it would be the minute Zack said “I let my agent handle all of that”. That’s what agents are for, and I don’t begrudge any player seeking his worth, but it was a tone different than Fred and Ty and I could read the tea leaves.

This. The price is only going to go up

 

[Ranching]

We need to save money to bring Kellan Moore back.

 

[fishspill]

I never begrudge a man trying to get his best deal.

 

[erod]

This year and two franchise tags if needed. He's here through 2019 no matter what.

No worries.

 

[Nightman]

This. The price is only going to go up

Not if he gets hurt or dates Tiffany Thompson
