What are your feelings about trading Zack Martin?

[Aven8]

First of all I preface this by saying I don’t even know it’s feasible. As for everyone that wants to complain at Dak’s 2024 cap hit currently at 59 million, Zack’s cap hit number comes in 2nd at 28.5 million for 2024.

Yes he’s been a good soldier and one of the most decorated Olineman in Cowboys history, but why not trade him while he still has value? His play is declining IMO and I’m just throwing it out there to get the boards thoughts.

Stupid we don't have the depth and he is still an all pro level player

 

[Captain-Crash]

why?

 

[Jipper]

I’d trade anyone for the right price

 

[Sydla]

In a rebuild, sure..........

This isn't a rebuild so it makes no sense to trade away your best OL and create yet another hole when you have a question at center and your LT is injury riddled.

And PS - his "declining" play is overstated. Yeah, he's not as good as he was 6 years ago, but he was an all pro again last year.

 

[SlammedZero]

No thanks. I'll continue to let him ride on as a Cowboy.

Idk if Zach at this stage in his career is the best linemen on the team. He is solid, but will just continue to decline imo.

I’m ok with it at the right price. Martin objectively took a step back this season. People have to come to terms with that

 

[Coogiguy03]

I feel like the poster of the year on this post!!!! Please give your thoughts!!!!!

but they won't!! All they'll say is the same they're saying about tyron he's still good and basically talk about the OLD player he used to be as if it's the present!

 

[Aven8]

why?

For a pick and cap relief? He’s not the same Martin anymore and he’s now our 2nd highest paid player. Roll with the youth. Hoffman and Bass played really well in spot duty last season.

 

[rags747]

I would be fine with it. Maybe you get a 3/4 in return?

He was first team all pro last year.

His "decline" is grossly exaggerated. Yeah, he's not the guy he was as a 3rd year mauler but he's still quite good.

crazy and it was last summer he asked for his deal to be fixed $$$$

Dlaw hasn’t declined yet IMO. He was our 2nd best player on D last season.

Honestly he was the best

He held out for more money then went on to get called for holding once this season. Typical get paid and relax player. You want to hold on to him and have 2 holding calls against him this season?

 

[fivetwos]

Neither of our GMs are capable of trading players and picks to get into an optimal position.

They just collect players through the draft and hope it all works somehow.

 

[Cowboys93]

Good teams cut bait when the value is high. I’d have no objections with it as long as we got something of value in return. Knowing this team though he’s a lifer though even if the decline is staring them down the barrel
