Amidst Teammate Dak Prescott’s $59,000,000 Triumph, Zack Martin Unfolds an Uncanny $500,000 Retribution

Unlocking a win-win, a fresh deal could prove advantageous for both Zack Martin and the Cowboys. This move would allow them to tweak his cap hit and extend it over multiple years, following the footsteps of their franchise quarterback, Dak Prescott. Back in March 2021, Prescott inked a groundbreaking contract that set new records.

Fast forward to 2024, and Prescott’s cap hit is projected to skyrocket to a staggering $59 million, making it an NFL record. Achieving this feat has involved numerous adjustments and restructures to his existing deal. Despite the potential benefits of a new deal, Zack Martin’s journey has hit a rough patch. Missing 10 team practices, he faces consequences such as a hefty fine.

Zack Martin is on thin ice!

Martin’s current contract has a cap hit of $24 million in 2024, which is the last year of his deal. Zack Martin is not happy with his current contract. He signed a six-year, $84 million extension in 2018, making him the highest-paid guard in the NFL at the time. But since then, seven other guards have surpassed him in annual salary, with Chris Lindstrom of the Falcons topping the list at $20.5 million.

Martin has been holding out of training camp, hoping to pressure the team to give him a new deal. But this comes at a cost: he faces fines of up to $50,000 per day for missing camp, which adds up to $500,000 so far this summer. He may also risk losing the respect of his teammates and coaches, who expect him to show up and work hard. 32 YO Martin is still playing at an elite level, but his deal does not reflect his true value. What’s next for Martin?

Zach Martin is taking a risky gamble

The Cowboys guard has two years left on his contract, but no more guaranteed money. The Cowboys have not shown much interest in renegotiating his contract, which puts them at odds with their star offensive lineman. He is a valuable asset for the Cowboys, who rely on him to protect Prescott and open lanes for Ezekiel Elliott.

The Cowboys might need to keep him happy and motivated, or they could lose him to another team that will pay him what he wants. Martin received a 99 rating in this year’s Madden video game, which is the highest possible rating for a player. But does the disintrest in negotiations mean the team is ready to move on?

A new contract could extend his stay with the Cowboys and reduce his cap hit in that year. Martin is one of the best players in the league, and he has been recognized for his talent and skills. The clock is ticking, as the season is approaching and Martin is still absent from camp. Will they reach an agreement before it’s too late?
