Schefter: Zack Martin Unhappy with Contract; Considering Not Reporting to Camp

[IAmLegend]

Welp.

Rut-rohh. I bet Jerry can trade him for a 5th round pick.

Jerry will take care of him. He has too.

The President deserves it and we don't need the drama going into camp.

 

[TexasHillbilly]

Pay the man his money.

 

[MountaineerCowboy]

Jerry is paying much more for worse players.

Martin is the best player on the offense. Pay that man.

 

[Kwyn]

Pay the man his money.

I can hear it. Great reference.

Welp...the pie gets smaller for CeeDee and Trevon. Does Prescott take less when he's extended to make sure the team is in a good space to sign the team's best player...Micah Parsons?

This also looks like the end of Tony Pollard in Dallas too. This is money the Jones boys didn't expect to spend.

What say you Stephen "Cap Boy" Jones?

Rut-rohh. I bet Jerry can trade him for a 5th round pick.

I can really see the similarities between a HOF guard and Amari Cooper?! lol

 

[TexasHillbilly]

I can hear it. Great reference.

I would have put the GIF from Rounders in the post but it is too much trouble.

 

[Staubacher]

Great job alienating the best player at his position on the team.

 

[fivetwos]

Even when you get a player signed cheaply it ends up catching up eventually.

No free lunch ever.

Wasn’t he signed well before he was due to hit free agency? So he wanted the security of that but also wants to be paid as if he is a free agent? Got it.

That all said, they need him here and ought to take care of him.

Since next year is the last year of his contract any way and we will undoubtedly restructure his $13M 2024 base salary downwards like we do every year for cap purposes...just extend the man. You don't screw around with the great players. Give him a SB now and a couple of big $ years starting in 2025 and cut his 2024 base to $1M. The only cap hit this year would be 1/5 of his SB and next year his cap hit would go down.

This is why premier players are stupid to sign long-term deals and the idea that GMs should sign guys to extensions early is a dumb complaint.

These long-term deals don't work for these players. A market-setting deal expires pretty quickly.

And here we go ..... no drama heading into TC .... no, no such thing can exist.

32 years old. Also he is a guard, still a lesser position than wide receiver. But yeah it is a joke whatever way Jerry deals with it.

 

[RS12]

This is not a plus. Zack has been taken for granted by the FO and fans a like. You would see a big difference in the O Line play in any type of absence.

 

[jazzcat22]

Trade him. Get value while you can.

 

[tunahelper]

Rut-rohh. I bet Jerry can trade him for a 5th round pick.

Jerry is playing 4d chess. Edoga will be the new RG and Zach my boy will be on the streets.

 

[65fastback2plus2]

He should have thought about that before he signed that contract.

for 2023 he's the 3rd highest paid cowboy and 8th highest paid guard in the nfl (cap hit basis)....on a contract from 2018.
