Cowboys Rumors: All-Pro OL Zack Martin Doesn't Report to Camp Amid Contract Dispute

Dallas Cowboys offensive lineman Zack Martin did not report for the start of training camp amid the franchise's "lack of interest in restructuring his contract" ahead of the 2023 campaign, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Martin has a cap hit worth $11 million in 2023, according to Spotrac.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reported last week that Martin was considering holding out of training camp due to his dissatisfaction with his contract and Dallas' unwillingness to restructure his deal.

Schefter added that Martin believes he is "woefully underpaid relative to the market."

Atlanta Falcons' Chris Lindstrom ($20.5 million AAV) and Indianapols Colts' Quentin Nelson ($20 million AAV) are among the league's highest-paid guards.

Martin agreed to a six-year extension with the Cowboys in 2018 and the franchise restructured his deal for the fifth consecutive season in March in order to create more cap space.

Dallas turned $12 million of Martin's $13.5 million base salary into a signing bonus, bringing his cap hit down to $11 million. He's also under contract through the 2024 season and has a cap hit worth $23.3 million next year.

The Cowboys selected Martin in the first round of the 2014 draft out of Notre Dame and he has emerged as one of the best offensive linemen in the NFL, earning eight Pro Bowl selections and six First Team All-Pro nods in his nine seasons.

The 32-year-old is also still competing at a high level, allowing just three sacks on a 96% pass block win rate last season, according to ESPN, which was the eighth-best mark in the league.

With the Cowboys hoping to make a deep playoff run in 2023, the franchise must find a way to come to an agreement with Martin, or else the offensive line will take a massive hit that could greatly impact quarterback Dak Prescott.
