The contract is set up and worded as it is, and the player and his agent have a choice not to sign it. The players ”Union” has approved of this language and its nothing new.
Thats a bunch of crap. We all know contracts are renegotiated all the time especially for the Elite players. It’s part of doing business in the NFL.
Right !!
I'd fine him the max amount every his misses camp. No more of this BS of holding out when you are under contract for 2 more years. What a load of crap, you signed the contract. There is security for injury and poor performance from signing a long-term deal, the flip side is you might feel under paid at some point if you stay healthy and perform well. You can't have it both ways, and the Cowboys have to hold firm or they are not going to have enough cap to field a top team. Caving into ZEKE was a huge mistake and now the Cowboys must show they have learned their lesson.
I swear it is like people do not understand how contracts work. One party has certain rules they have to live by and the other party has certain aspects they have to live by. Those are not the same for each party! NFL teams always hold up their end of the contract 100% of the time - players do not!!!!!!!!
Contracts are made to be renegotiated at some point . Especially for his caliber talent. Martin isn’t every player. He’s a 1st ballot HOFamer . This offense will suffer greatly without him.
You dont pay every player each year based upon where they fit among the leagues players at his position. So a player has a huge year and now you redo his deal to reflect that in his pay??? He signed a deal and got big bucks up front.... he was probably the highest paid at that time. He is aware of what his age will be when his current deal ends, so he is holding the tea hostage while he still can. I seriously say screw him and let his arse sit. im not trading him, im just gonna let him sit, get fined and lose money.
The Cowboys will never do that . Why would we do that? Just to be vindictive and risk the cost to our offense . Why??
Zack Martin is being super greedy. He's putting himself over what is best for the team while he's currently still getting paid very well ($14 mil/year). I hope Jerry doesn't cave in and pay him #1 overall pay with $20 mil/season once again like he did in 2018 when Zack Martin was much younger and in his prime.
What’s best for this team is him starting at RG.
With QB's making 40-50 million I have become indifferent to players holding out and asking for more money. I don't expect to win a SB with our current QB so what does it matter!
And we’ll see how much impact Martins absence is on our running game and offense , especially once Tyron goes down .
I just meant I was indifferent to him holding out- just pay him and be done with it. I know he is important but we still won't win anything with lead feet as our QB!
Regardless whatever you or I believe , that’s not a complete given and why we play the games .But if we truly want to heighten our opportunities we need Martin.
That has NOTHING to do with Martin.
