The line that the Dallas Cowboys will have after future Hall of Famer Zack Martin is not as good as fans would like, as Tyler Guyton, Tyler Smith, Cooper Beebe, Brock Hoffman and Terence Steele are a long way from forming a group like the one that went 14-2 in 2016, but... it is what it is.
There will be no short-term economic benefit
That's already bad news, but it's not the most important news after Martin's retirement, at least not for Jerry Jones. It turns out that the departure of the Cowboys' star guard will not bring any financial benefit to the Lone Star team, as although the team will designate Martin as a post-June 1 release, he will count $9.4 million against the 2025 salary cap and $17 million against next season's cap. This means that the renegotiation of the 2023 contract with the player condemns Dallas to not receive any financial benefit in the short term after his departure.
This will be the first season in a decade that the Cowboys will be without the star figure of the offensive line, Zack Martin, and they are obliged to look for a replacement, but with Jerry Jones nothing is certain and at the moment it is not known if they are really looking for one, since for years it was known that retirement was near for Martin.
