Saints sign RB West, pass on Charles for now

-

DALLAS, Texas, June 14, (RTRS): All-Pro right guard Zack Martin and the Dallas Cowboys agreed to terms on a six-year contract extension worth $84 million with $40 million guaranteed, according to multiple reports.

At $14 million per year, the deal makes Martin the second-highestpai­d offensive lineman, and the highest-paid guard, in NFL history. The $40 million guaranteed at signing sets a new benchmark by $5.2 million.

New York Giants left tackle Nate Solder ($15.5 million per season) is the top-paid blocker in NFL history. The Jacksonvil­le Jaguars’ Andrew Norwell previously had been the highest-paid guard in the league at $13.3 million annually. Norwell now ranks fourth among all O-linemen, with Washington Redskins left tackle Trent Williams third at $13.6 million.
