The Dallas Cowboys are currently making their packing checklist, getting ready to embark on their westward journey to the friendly breezes of the Pacific Ocean. Sweltering heat has captivated much of the nation, and of course Texas is no exception. But in Oxnard, CA the highs are peaceful and actual outside work can get done.
That work will be important for right guard Zack Martin, who held out for almost three weeks last training camp before getting his final two contract years guaranteed. The money was deserved, as Martin had been at the top of the game for a long period of time. Only, whether it was old addage of thinking about retirement meaning you’re already there, the lack of those three weeks of prep work or something else, Martin did not perform up to his usual standards in 2023. So now even an assured, first-ballot Hall of Famer has something to prove in 2024.
