Zack Martin update - based on Jerry Jones comments

[Jumbo075]

​

​

Based on the comments by Jerry Jones in the interview in the attached video, it seems that Jerry is willing to pay Zack more if he's willing to extend his contract. But he doesn't want to just give Zack more money over the next two seasons, without a contract extension.​

​

Skip to 7:30 mark in the video.​

 

[The Quest for Six]

Get a two year extension with a bigger signing bonus and get the offensive line Captain and best player back into camp Steven...

 

[Reid1boys]

which makes perfect sense. Just upping the amount of money on his CURRENT deal is stupid. Like Jerry said, he needs money for Micah and Cee Dee and we know that Micah aint giving no "Team discount." Not only that, Micah comes off as such a ME kind of guy, I suspect he will be holding Jerry Hostage everytime new contracts for other players come out and pass his soon to be record breaking contract.

Micah is awesome, but I predict he is going to be a headache in many years to come.

 

[Jarntt]

Well if Jerry said it it must be true...

 

[Concord]

That's reasonable

 

[nightrain]

If only Jerry could be that savvy with the overrated players as well.

 

[Ranching]

Well if Jerry said it it must be true...

You are correct

 

[The Ominous]

Martin is playing week 1 and Micah and Ceedee will be signed. And wow at calling Parsons a possible headache. HE IS THE type of guy you pay.

 

[CowboysDrew]

This was always going to be the end result.

You don’t have to touch Micah for nearly three years.

He has this year, next year, 5th year option and then his deal will kick in.

You can resign Martin with an additional two years with little to no effect on the cap.

 

[Teague31]

Sell him the yacht for $1 and call it square.

Cute, I like it !

I agree, with Micah's playing style and the way they are using him on defense I want see how durable he is at the end of his Rookie contract. It would suck to sign him t a record deal next year and see him nicked up and missing time until the end of the contract.

 

[nalam]

Ha Ha Ha ,
Only problem is Yacht is probably 10 times the money Martin is asking

 

[VaqueroTD]

Sell him the yacht for $1 and call it square.

That is being saved for #11's contract.

 

[Sydla]

See, to me, this isn't all that hard to figure out. Guarantee more money, tack 2-3 years beyond 2024 to spread the cap hits out. Not hard.

I'll say this, when Jerry is the one squawking he's likely the one that's digging in here. Jerry is always willing to try to cover his ***. So first he tries to blame Martin for potentially wanting money that has to go to Lamb and Parsons. Now, we've moved on from that and Jerry doesn't seem concerned about the money, but moreso the structure of any deal with Martin. Some fans will fall for it. But the issue here with Martin is likely Jerry, not the other way around.

 

[locked&loaded]

This guy is about to be 33. Need to be careful.

Zack Martin is a premier roster player. He will get paid and paid soon enough. What interested me more was this passage (video mark 10:12 to 12:40):

Interviewer: What's been your observation of the working relationship between offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer and not only head coach Mike McCarthy but playcaller Mike McCarthy as they try to put the best offense out.

Jones: Well the word is confidence uh Mike of course has uh the nose the Schottenheimer we all know and respect his father sure. And by the way I'm a product of a powerful father or I accomplished father too. And there's nothing wrong with that when they're always calling you Junior. And you feel like you've got something to prove okay.

So but that's the case and he does have a lot to prove because his father but he was born up but he was born he was sitting around that kitchen table it's called osmosis. So it's in his veins plus he's so sound uh and so it's a great compliment to what Mike will need to basically accomplish both head coaching as well as the offensive coordinator and the play caller literally. The offensive coordinator play caller is the busiest guy on the whole team yeah much less if he tries to be the head coach too now this is a job.

Interviewer: That's what I was going to ask you is that is that something that that you look at and say that's a lot that's a lot for for one one guy to handle. How does the rest of that staff as you guys look at it kind of come alongside him and help him with you know challenges (inaudible) all our games come down to inside of two minutes? How do you guys look at that as a staff and say how can we help Mike with that?

Jones: Well, that's what you're counting on. Yeah and that is the that is the making up for him not being I call it a walk around coach right do that. Now Mike doesn't have as much time for schmoozing me. I'm teasing but he doesn't he doesn't he can't be a Mr. Social out here in camp not that he really ever was.

But he's too busy yeah he's too busy. A lot of work but it does but uh uh if you will a lot more direct involvement when you're a defensive coordinator and he's offensive you're a special teams coach or for that matter with the nuances of the position coaches, So really your staff does take a step up when your head coach is the coordinator on one side of the ball or the other.

__________________________

Just his usual rambling answer but it is interesting seeing how Jones views his head coach and new offensive coordinator partnership dynamic through his eyes, going into the 2023 season.

 

[AsthmaField]

They’ll get it done… in the meantime it is no bad thing for Martin to be getting rest.

Oh you mean like Dak! Micah performs and is one the elite at his position. He deserves to break the bank unlike someone else.
