Team friendly deal or highest paid for Zack Martin? The latter

[RS12]

But getting a deal done as smoothly as they did previously with tackle Tyron Smith and center Travis Frederick might no be in the offing.

Martin doesn’t appear interested giving the Cowboys a home town discount with a friendly-deal and doesn’t plan to get involved in the negotiations on a personal basis.

“I love being a Cowboy,” Martin said. “But I will let my agents handle it. They will let me know when it’s time to something.”

Best, most consistent OL on the team IMO. Could play any position OL and excel at it.

Paying him more now means paying him much less later than he would otherwise get.

While it would be nice, can't blame him. You get basically one shot at a huge payday/guarantees. Most guys don't play out their contracts due to various reasons(in and out of their control) and never see the full amount on those deals.

Dude has been a top guard since day 1. Besides, he'll be the top paid for a year or two, till the next great guard on a rookie contract is up for a payday then he'll be seen a "steal"

5 years $47 million - 17 gurantee...

Well.... My worst guess.

 

[Doomsday101]

won't be easy. Jones has a good relationship with Condon and Gonser who represent Martin. However they also represent Kevin Zeitler so I would expect they will be looking for a similar deal for Zack

 

[DCBoysfan]

Pay the man his money..........It will get done, no worries.

 

[DoctorChicken]

Martin is going to be in the Hall of Fame when it's all said and done.

Pay the man.

 

[cowboyblue22]

I don't think he will take a home town deal think he wants his money and I don't blame him get all you can get

Fred didn't take a discount. Smith did but that's more about length - he's a special situation as the team really helped him to work through family issues.

 

[Daillest88]

Do whatever it takes.

Actually it is pretty easy. Zeitler has established the market. Its 12 mill a year

 

[Idgit]

He's going to get what he's going to get. They won't let him walk, and he's the best at his position. It might take a while or even be a bit contentious, but it'll get done.

 

[CCBoy]

There already is room in he cap and bumper room in the future...get it done, Stephen.

While we have a great deal on Dak and Zeke, we can afford to pay the olineman. We also don't have a big contract on the Dline or in the secondary. We should be fine putting money towards the Oline right now.

Not even close.

This man deserves to get paid top dollar. I would guess 12.5 - 13mil per season and the hope for Dallas is that they
can sign him up for 5 seasons + 6yr option. Think 65 to 75mil with 35mil guaranteed and 20mil signing bonus.
Man is all pro and pro bowl every year. Deserves everything he can squeeze out of Jerry.

 

[speedkilz88]

Looking at Zeitler's contract it could be something like this:

2017 $2.853390
2018 $9.341
5 yr $60 million ($12 yr) Extension -- At least $12 million SB and $23 million guaranteed at signing ($31.5 million guaranteed by 2018)
To the Cowboys it would be 7 yrs for $72.19439 ($10.31348 yr) counting the two years currently.

I dont see where he would get more than Frederick.

This will undoubtedly get done....
