Let's beat the Dhop thread looks like he restructured and added voidable years so it required agent/player and team renegotiation. That was the time to address his perceived salary underpaid issue. Or he should have not agreed to the restructure. His agent blew it. He gets paid plenty for his output. Not NFL fault as players become FA and reset market higher. 1 Quote

Not NFL fault as players become FA and reset market higher. No, plenty of times restructures don't need agent or player input of any kind. It's already in the contract. And that's what happened this year in Martin's case. The Cowboys just pulled the trigger on that part of his contract. He didn't have any choice or input this year. The Cowboys just "executed clauses in two of their biggest contracts." https://cowboyswire.usatoday.com/lists/cowboys-prescott-martin-restructure-2023/ Doing that, executing that clause, helps the team's cap situation, but it also gives Martin a bit more leverage, as the money is already in his bank account now. He does get paid plenty for his output by my standards and most standards. Not by NFL elite guard standards, though. The Boys have to live with all of the consequences of their decisions. Having said that, Martin also has to live with all the consequences of his. He has every right to complain and to hold out if that's what he wants. Makes sense to me to rattle your saber in this kind of situation. Edited July 21, 2023 by Thurman#1 2 1 Quote

This ends with the Cowboys doing something very minor to just make Martin happy and "show him some love" then address it longer term in the offseason. But Martin is also going to 33 this season and the Cowboys have Martin on a great deal next season. Tricky situation but I think Martin knows this is his last chance to get a big money deal and he has to try and take advantage of it. 1 1 Quote
machine gun kelly Posted July 21, 2023 Posted July 21, 2023 He’ll hold in, Jerrah will bloviate, and then they’ll give him something small to save face. Quote
TheWeatherMan Posted July 21, 2023 Posted July 21, 2023 After the FA additions and the Draft, I’m more comfortable with G than I am at RT. The #2 WR and RT are the weakest links on the team IMO. Quote

Shemp Posted July 21, 2023 Posted July 21, 2023 The Jets appear to have a logjam on the OL. Often-injured (until now) Mekhi Becton, a real specimen, has been described as "disgruntled" because the Jets put him at RT, exposing his right leg that keeps getting hurt, where his natural position is LT. There are others in this fight too, which should be watched by the Bills for an opportunity for upgrades. https://nypost.com/2023/07/20/mekhi-becton-battling-for-spot-on-jets-offensive-line-as-competitions-begin/ Quote

He's struggled with weight (but he's in "the best shape of his life" now) and injury. His only option on this line would be RT as the Bills aren't likely to be moving Dawkins...which according to this report "exposes his right leg" to injury. Not sure I'd sign a disgruntled, oft injured OT that struggles with weight. Quote

So they had already agreed to it Quote
Royale with Cheese Posted July 21, 2023 Posted July 21, 2023 Martin better be careful because Roger Saffold is out there. Cowboys and Jerry Jones have the leverage! 1 1 Quote
