I am pointing out the silliness of your logic. Martin apparently isn’t good enough to pay him top dollar anymore but apparently you’d only trade him for a ridiculous haul for an OG, that according to you, isn’t worthy of being paid like a top OG.
How does the All Pro in 2022 Zack Martin look on this play? How does rookie Tyler Smith look?
Guess which one of them looked like an All Pro while the other looked like a rookie?
What’s funny is. I can show video of Tyler getting beat multiple times this season. What’s the point? Players get beat. Larry Allen got beat for cripes sake lol.
I mean zeke did it to us….and got more money. Duane brown OT sat out half the year and was traded and then awarded a new deal with the Seahawks. Deebo Samuel literally demanded a trade and threatened to hold out and received an extension. Dk metcalf wouldn’t work out or practice received a new extension. Aaron Donald held out of camp 2 years straight and received a record breaking deal in 2018. Leveon bell sat out an entire year and was awarded a $52million deal. Sean Gilbert say out an entire season back in the day and was awarded one of the biggest contracts ever for a DL at the time. Chris Johnson held out until September until the titans gave him 53.5 million.
So you're saying Zack Martin right now is not worth a 1st, 2nd and 3rd round picks? If you truly believe that, why are you chiming in?
Yes, but they all were in their prime (in their 20s), not 33 years old with lots of wear-n-tear.
Who said Martin was perfect in every play? Reality is he was good to great on pretty much the vast majority of his plays last year, hence another 1st team all pro award.
I know it is popular to say, but QBs should never take less money. They should always take whatever market value is. When you are expected to be the face of the franchise, leader of the team, and shoulder the responsibility for wins and losses, then no, you don't take less.
LOL. I gotta think you are trolling at this point. How aren’t you getting this?
Martin deserves any awards he gets, but he's already paid handsomely (5th highest for a Guard in 2022), yet he wants to get paid the highest...at his age?
I understand why you aren't getting that someone might value draft picks over paying out a high dollar contract.
Zack Martin struggled at times against the better opposing D-lines in 2022, including playoffs.
And yet was a first team all pro and considered by many the best OG in football last year. LOL
Me either. the new CBA makes it too punitive for him to hold out. That being said I think the Cowboys won't do him wrong either. I imagine they wnat him to retire a Cowboy as much as he does.
He thinks its funny he has gotten you to bash Martin. You are not going to win this on merit because he refuses to see the obvious.
That's fine, but he isn't the dominating spring chicken he used to be. He is being well paid at $14 million/year. Terrible business decision to take his threat and pay him $20 million just to appease his feelings, knowing full well you only have so much money to spread around while still having to pay 6+ much younger key starters.
Oh, I know what he's doing, but he's messing with the wrong poster because I easily throw it right back.
Duane brown was 32 years old lol…playing a lesser level than Martin who btw is still one of the best in the league playing at an all pro level.
Duane Brown is an O-Tackle, not a Guard. Tackles get paid more than Guards. Nice try.
