They are in the middle of one of their worst seasons in the last few decades, and things are only getting worse.<\/span>Advertisement<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

On Thursday the team announced that their future Hall of Fame and All-Pro Offensive guard\u00a0Zack Martin will undergo season-ending surgery\u00a0on his ankle. After battling that injury for the whole season he is now going to be done for the year, and perhaps for his career.<\/p>\n

<\/span>This is truly devastating news as Martin has been one of the best in the history of the game, and this may end his career. It is still uncertain if he will retire following this season or try to give it one more year for 2025.<\/span><\/p>\n

Micah Parsons recently went viral with his comments about Martin, and specifically, he said that this is potentially Martin\u2019s last year in the NFL:<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s above my pay grade, if Mike\u2019s coach again next year,\u201d Parsons said. \u201cAll coaching aside, Mike can leave and go where he wants to. Guys I kind of feel bad for is guys like Zack Martin and guys who might be on their last year, on their way out, because that\u2019s who I wanted to hold the trophy for. You want to win games and do great things with those type of legends who put in more time and work than Mike McCarthy ever did. So, those are the kind of guys that I have so much sympathy and hurt for.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Martin is the longest-tenured player for the Cowboys, as he started his NFL career in 2014. Over this past decade Martin has been an All-[to in seven seasons! He is a lock to make the Hall of Fame, and he is tied for the most All-Pro selections in team history!<\/p>\n

<\/span>After the news broke, fans of the Cowboys and NFL fans in general have all been taking to social media to react to this devasting injury to an all-time player. Martin is one of the most respected players in the game today, and fans from all teams are hoping that they can get to see him for one more season:<\/p>\n

\u201cNature of the\u00a0NFL\u2013 not for long. A decade of dominance and is in the pantheon of Cowboys greats. First ballot HOFer. Hopefully he gets the Walter Payton Man of the Year award,\u201d\u00a0one fan said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI know everyone says he\u2019s done but something tells me he tries to run it back next year if the Cowboys aren\u2019t incompetent in the offseason,\u201d\u00a0another fan said, holding out hope that Martin would come back for one more year.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf it\u2019s the end, thank you #70 for everything,\u201d\u00a0said one Cowboys fan.<\/p>\n

\u201cGreat career for em, shoe in 1st ballot Hall of Famer but they need to move on from him,\u201d\u00a0another fan said.<\/p>\n

\u201cone of the greatest runs we\u2019ve ever seen. if this is it, he\u2019s the GOAT in my eyes,\u201d\u00a0one fan said.<\/p>\n

\u201cVERY SAD! #3 on my list of Favorite Cowboys Players of All-Time. I think we\u2019ve seen the last of him in a Cowboys uniform,\u201d\u00a0another fan predicted.<\/p>\n

\u201coh there\u2019s no chance in hell. Hopefully this isn\u2019t the end for him of his career he is such a dog and i wanna see him more before he goes. heartbreaking,\u201d\u00a0said one Dallas fan.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf this is the last time I\u2019ll see Martin play I\u2019m going to be sad. One of the greatest Guards in history of the game,\u201d\u00a0another fan added.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Hopefully, Martin can come back from this injury and play one more year for the Cowboys or another team, but if he indeed decides to retire, he will be remembered as one of the best to ever do it at his position.<\/p>\n
