Report: Cowboys' Martin considering not reporting to training camp due to contract

Dallas Cowboys guard Zack Martin is considering not reporting to training camp due to his unhappiness with his current contract, sources told Adam Schefter of ESPN.

The Cowboys have shown a lack of interest in restructuring Martin's deal, and the 32-year-old believes he is "woefully underpaid relative to the market," Schefter adds.

Martin is scheduled to have an $11-million cap hit in 2023, according to Over The Cap. Atlanta Falcons guard Chris Lindstrom is the NFL's highest-paid guard and is scheduled to make $20.5 million per season over his five-year contract, according to Spotrac.

The eight-time Pro Bowler signed a six-year, $84-million contract extension in 2018.

The Cowboys have $20.6 million in cap space, according to Over The Cap. Dallas has many key players scheduled to hit free agency in 2024, including cornerback Trevon Diggs, offensive tackle Tyron Smith, and center Tyler Biadasz.

Dallas is also expected to re-work quarterback Dak Prescott's contract, who is scheduled to have a $59.4-million cap hit in 2024.

Martin had another terrific campaign in 2022, starting all 17 regular season games and earning first-team All-Pro honors. The Notre Dame product has been selected to six first-team All-Pro's in nine seasons since entering the league.
