Zack Martin details key meeting that led to new Cowboys contract

As the training-camp practices rolled along and Dallas Cowboys guard Zack Martin was nowhere to be found, it was beginning to feel more and more like the holdout and push for a new contract may not find a happy ending. Fortunately for Cowboys fans, Martin and anyone behind the team's offensive line, the two sides came to terms on a pay raise for the All-Pro and everyone walked away with a smile on their face.

One of the most interesting aspects of the entire situation was Cowboys owner Jerry Jones taking a hard stance publicly against altering Martin's contract. He remained consistent in that approach to the public eye, but as Martin himself detailed, it seems a sitdown with Jones was actually what helped push things forward and facilitated the pay raise getting done, as ESPN's Todd Archer detailed.
