Zack Martin is retiring after a decorated career at guard for the Cowboys, AP sources say

Associated Press  

Zack Martin is retiring after a decorated career that included seven All-Pro seasons at right guard with the Dallas Cowboys, two people with knowledge of the decision said Thursday. The departure of Martin leaves the Dallas line in its biggest transition period in more than a decade going into the first year of quarterback Dak Prescott’s $240 million, four-year contract. Martin’s decision comes as first-year coach Brian Schottenheimer tries to rebuild a rushing attack that was among the worst in the NFL last season. The Cowboys reached the divisional round twice in Martin’s first three seasons, including his rookie year when DeMarco Murray set a club record with 1,845 yards.
