Zack Martin does not report to camp

[Diehardblues]

Why wouldn’t we pay him?

They will.

Our fan base just overreact to every thing.

Steele was career ending.
Pollard will never walk again.
Diggs was an overpay and now we cannot afford Martin

For everyone criticizing Zack Martin for not honoring his current contract…have you not noticed that NFL teams routinely cut players before their contract is officially up? Once the guaranteed amounts are paid, NFL teams can usually cut a guy. So let’s not act like the teams honor the original contract in its entirety because they often do not.

Zack Martin is a first ballot HOFer. Rare talent like this is worthy of a better deal. Because thinking that the original contract should be honored is not understanding how the owners trample that anyway.

Yea, it’s really laughable how wrong some in this forum get it. Lol

Zack Martin was given an NFL record highest paid Guard ever contract extension back in 2018. With 2 years still left in that contract, Zack Martin is trying to pull a stunt for another record paid new contract extension at 33 years of age. If he misses all of training camp, I would be looking to trade him and send him and the rest of the team a message that such actions will not be tolerated.

Then we go 8-9 and that message is completely lost

Yea, our OL, offense and prob season are compromised without Martin. Some of these fans are idiots.

Well, it’d be a great excuse for all of the Dak homers if the offense suks. Lol

Pay the man!

 

[Cowboysheelsreds058]

This is one time they should pay this man. Don’t want the backup playing against the gnats.

 

[HabsCowboysOwn]

Oh so he’s not a real leader now, good one. So quick to question the character of a future hall of famer like Martin for wanting the money he deserves yet their golden boy is grossly overpaid and they’re perfectly fine with it.

 

[GimmeTheBall!]

How time flies.
Martin will be 34 in November

Pay the man!

The man as you call him is 33 years old and has missed 30 percent of all games the past three seasons. Sure he is hof but even hofers have a shelf life. He is getting paid what he is getting paid. Most I do is add 2 million to his deal over the remainder of the contract if he don’t accept than you have to move on

Missing 8 games out of around 150 isn't bad at all. He is getting up there in age but I would pay him a decent amount more to keep him happy and for longer. 3-5 more million a year won't hurt the cowboys imo.

 

[ElGatoGrande]

Seems like the seasoned vets occasionally find a way to skip some of TC.

 

[coult44]

That 50k a day will start to add up.

As long as he doesn’t miss one game, who cares.

That is misleading. Martin played all 17 games last season. And he played all 16 the year before.

So, the man has not missed a game in two seasons, and you want to point to the games he missed 3 years ago coming back from an injury? Seriously?

C'mooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooon.

 

[Kwyn]

Prediction: His Cowboys career is over.

Do you actually believe this or are you just trolling?

 

[stilltheguru]

Nah just laughing at guys trying to downplay how good he is. It’s kind of hilarious.

He is good but again, is the criteria for holdout outrage based on how good you are?

 

[Kingofholland]

Old news but Jerry will screw this up

Jerry pays his players the 1 time he didn't the Cowboys lost 2 games without their star RB in the 90s. I'm confident they'll reach an agreement. They'll probably add a year or 2 the contract, increase his base and add some incentives for games played, etc. They still value Martin so I doubt they screw something up with him.

 

[Davidlee1973]

What has Zach Martin done really. Add to that Tyron another hofer. Two hof level olinemen and 0 rings. In fact imagine at one time this offense had five hof level players all at once. Dez,romo, Martin, Tyron, written and 0 sb 0 nfc title games. So are they really hof level

Who's gets the 50k per day?
