Martin to meet with Dolphins soon to discuss future with team

This emotional mess needs to go somewhere else. Him and Incognito, should not be anywhere near the team facilities once free agency starts.

Dude is a matador, not a tackle anyway.
 
In the long term interests of the team, I think it's best to just completely rebuild the line, and not bring back any of these dummies, including Pouncey. Hire a new O-line coach and start over. It's not like a new starting five would do any worse than last year when Tannehill was running for his life on a weekly basis. :(

While only recently has anyone suggested that Jonathan Martin might have any hint of a future in Miami, the Dolphins do still control his contractual rights.

So if he’s intent on playing again, they control to a certain degree where.

Agent Kenny Zuckerman told Andrew Abramson of the Palm Beach Post that he was meeting with Dolphins officials next week in Indianapolis to see what the next step is.

“We’re going to meet with the Dolphins at the Combine and see what their plans are,” Zuckerman said. “Right now they have his property, they have his rights.”

While it’s extremely unlikely that he could seamlessly return to Miami, there ought to be some degree of value for the former second-round pick.

“He will be on the field in 2014,” Zuckerman said of Martin. “There’s no doubt. He wants to, he’s ready, he’s excited. He’ll be somewhere this season.”

For Martin to return to the Dolphins this season he will have a lot of fires to put out. He will have to explain to a lot of people why he took the actions he did or didn't take.

Many of the players had to defend themselves in the media because of what Martin did and it will difficult for some of them to forgive and forget.
 
I wish I was 6'5 300 lbs. I'd do everything in my power to become an NFL lineman and rob teams of their money
 
Maybe the team could hire him as the locker room and shower snitch. "It" has plenty of experience.

Miami has zero leverage in this. Martin has the team by the short and curlys now. Ross knows that Martin can sue the team for significantly more than his contract value. At this point any discussions between the two sides consists of Miami begging Martin not to sue. If Martin wants to come back and start at left tackle wearing a pink tutu the team will agree to it. If Martin wants to demand his release and full payment of his contract he will get it. He will get anything he wants.

This post has a lot of merit. Doesn't matter if he wants to come back or whatever, he has a massive upper hand legally. He can actually sue for lost wages for all the years of his expected playing lifespan. And if he instead tries to join a team and doesn't, it could get worse then. He can sue Miami and the NFL. I have no idea why some think this thing is done.

Not sure I agree with his....

As an employer, if this situation occurred, Martin might have a decent shot at an EEOC claim for a hostile work environment. A civil suite for big money, is a stretch in my mind. Martin at no time, shared his complaints or concerns with his employer....in fact, there is plenty of evidence that exists to indicate Martin participated in the same type of behavior that he finds so repugnant in Richie Incognito. So I don't see how he can prove that the Dolphins organization willfully allowed this conduct to go on or how they are somehow liable even though he failed to make them aware of it?

I also don't know what the CBA contains regarding how an issue like this one would be handled.
 
Brand new OL coach plus J Martine see if can be salvaged then play, trade, or cut. Problem solved potential lawsuit avoided.

ah, but you see, there are the other 31 teams at the combine. Not a wasted trip, for both parties.

not to mention that all of a sudden Jmart is so happy and ready to play!!!

uh, what happened to that depression dude? oh I see, it served its purpose. Quite frankly, a team should stay away but not going cheerleading for that.

oh btw, I believe SF has two 2nd's and 2 3rd rounders again. Its not out of the realm of possibility we could sneak a 4th or 5th from them because they have too many picks with not many spots left. At some point, they have to cash in.

Martin would give them great publicity, closer to home, and good depth.

Be extremely grateful if they get a conditional 7th
