With Tyron Smith’s departure, Zack Martin is now the elder statesman of the Cowboys roster

When Zack Martin joined the Cowboys in 2014, he was three years behind Tyron Smith and one behind Travis Frederick as the new nucleus of the offensive line. He’s now the last man standing of that trio in Dallas, as well as the longest-tenured player on the entire roster. Thankfully, even after 10 seasons and at 33 years old, he’s also still one of the best guards in football.

Martin isn’t the oldest guy on the roster. That goes to punter Bryan Anger, who turns 36 in October and entered the NFL in 2012. But while Anger only joined Dallas in 2021 as a veteran free agent, Martin has been a fixture since his debut and has seen a host of coaches and players come and go around him.
