    Really, that's seems to be the only way this saga can play out. Even if you believe if Martin is the victim of constant harassment in the Dolphins' locker room, it would be uncomfortable and a major distraction if he returned next season.

    Edmonton Eskimos are calling I hear...

    I am just kidding. There is no way he goes back to Miami, there are quite a few HC that can shape that kid up the right way. Off the top of my head, Bill Belichick, Andy Reid, Arians (Peterson has a good thing going there in the locker room), I Think he has a future just needs to be a perfect HC.

    Regardless of talent, he's a huge risk for a team to shell out big bucks IMO.

    He's proven, no matter how 'brutally' he may have been treated, that he's a potentially thin skinned player who hasn't flourished in an NFL locker room that aren't Sunday school settings.

    Personally don't see the risk/reward benefit especially that the media would be camped out & scrutinizing every interaction that goes on trying to find an 'angle' for story lines.

    I know a guy who coached him in college that would probably know how to handle him.

    Highest bidder? Far from Pro-Bowl caliber regardless of the other stuff.

    He was rated the worst starting tackle, I'll be happy with a turkey sandwich.

    Yep, if he was a great player on the fields, he would be worth something even with the distraction but he's not, so I'mnot sure he is worth anything

    who has to shell out big bucks? a second round player contract isnt bad, if it doesnt work out then oh well, if it does they have a potential LT.

    Id offer a 6th for him

    No one should shell out big bucks. He's not worth a bidding war on ebay let alone 1 in the NFL IMO.

    That being said, if someone wants to take a risk of more BS like this that would put their team under the media/NFL microscope daily for a 'potential' decent lineman who has a sensitive side...have at it.

    Kinda like when crazy people find each other. Keeps them grouped up than scattered all over.

    The Raiders philosophy of building a team during the 90's and 2000's.

    Thanks for saying this, Diesel. You saved the rest of us non-fans the time in doing it.

    If he is rated as the worst tackle in football right now, I hear Wal-Mart is hiring sweepers.
