All-Pro right guard Zack Martin did not take part in Tuesday’s OTA and it’s not clear if he will work in any of them, according to multiple sources. The Cowboys and Martin’s agents have been in talks regarding a long-term deal over the last few weeks....

As much grief as Odell gets, he's been at the Meadowlands.
Cancer. Cut him.

ObJ is the least toxic cancerous presence out of Darnold and Martin. Maybe The Hand of God has shown him the Way.
I initially thought the same thing about OBJ looking at all the other

non-attendee names (if any of it really matters anyway)

Then again when you haven't played for a year due to injury you kinda have to show up and do something. Obviously it's not the worst injury so he's expected to get to 100% but he still needs to show it, that too beyond being limited at OTAs
He is going to want more a lot more money than

The Guard from Carolina got who signed with the Jags.

Then they have to pay the QB.

Jack up the cowboys cap!

If I'm an elite player like Martin up for a major contract, I wouldn't play a minute of OTA. They are voluntary. Why risk injury like Hunter Henry?

You better believe he wants more money then Norwell and rightfully so.

I can't wait until they have to pay Prescott.

He's garbage.
Road not taken...hypothetically imagine if #1 picks were  
Jimmy Googs : 5/23/2018 3:27 pm : link
2014 - Martin instead of OBJ
2015 - Gurley instead of Flowers
2016 - Tunsil instead of Apple
2017 - Ramczyk instead of Engram

And lets just say we still have #2 overall pick in 2018, who do you take?

I don't know. I don't think we'd be at #2 if we had drafted this way, McAdoo or no McAdoo.

That is 20/10 hindsight.
Why would we want Martin over OBJ?  
chuckydee9 : 5/23/2018 4:18 pm : link
OBJ is a better player.. he is a generational talent.. as we saw from last year, he actually has a huge impact on our team.. far greater than any Guard in the league..
You guys are as much fun as a crutch  
Jimmy Googs : 5/23/2018 4:22 pm : link
I put the hypothetical together to suggest Giant's two biggest problem areas (arguably) of poor Oline and no running game are no the case.

So what do you do in 2018?

I'm not sure we are at the #2 slot if all the picks in your hypothetical were chosen. My guess is we're picking 18 or lower...

So I say Mike Hughes, Rashaan Evans or maybe Harold Landry.

Isn't the reason Reese sucked is because he did make the wrong picks in 2015 and 2016? He was expected to be able to see this and we're expecting Gettleman to be able to tell an Ereck Flowers is a 6th rounder and not a #9 overall.
Tunsil is painfully mediocre  
Ten Ton Hammer : 5/23/2018 7:31 pm : link
You'd be just as pissed off if he was the pick instead of apple because it would've been a pick not worth a top 10. He's nowhere near what he was advertised to be.
