Cowboys’ six-time All-Pro guard and team captain Zack Martin, who has been unhappy about the team’s lack of interest in restructuring his contract, did not report for the start of training camp, per source.

Zack had until today’s morning to show up in order to avoid the fine. Under the new agreement between players and NFL, franchises can no longer abolish the fines.
A few days ago, the media reported that Martin was considering not showing up for the training camp because he was unhappy with his deal and the organization’s unwillingness to offer him a better one. The guard shared that he is underpaid, given the market.
Owner and GM Jerry Jones and executive vice president Stephen Jones refused to discuss Zack’s deal or why he is not with his teammates.
Jerry Jones added that nothing concerns him, and they got everything they needed at the beginning of the camp.
