Now that a new deal is in place, Zack Martin's holdout is finally ended, and he will shortly return to training camp.
The All-Pro guard had a straightforward message for Cowboys fans after agreeing to his new contract with Jerry Jones, the owner of the Dallas Cowboys.
Martin tweeted the three words "Back to work" after learning of his new deal on social media.
When Martin staged a holdout during Cowboys training camp, he still had two years left on his contract with $13.5 million this year and $14 million the following year.
Martin was paid the 10th-highest guard in the league under that contract, which had an average annual value of $14 million and was declining.

supporters, and the front office, so hearing those words had to have been music to their ears.
