It's the end of an era for the Dallas Cowboys. After 11 seasons with the team, seven-time All-Pro guard Zack Martin has announced his retirement from the game.
It was a difficult decision for Martin, who will now hang up his boots after spending his entire professional career with the Cowboys organization.
The team posted an emotional tribute video for the 34-year-old star, which started when the Cowboys drafted Martin as a first-round pick in the 2014 NFL Draft. The montage then transitioned to how Martin established himself as one of the top guards in the history of the game.
"The Ultimate Cowboy " the team posted on Instagram.
