Jonathan Martin leaves Dolphins after 'breakdown'

An unusual situation is unfolding in Miami, where Dolphins right tackle Jonathan Martin has left the team after suffering an "emotional breakdown" this week.

NFL Media's Jeff Darlington reported Wednesday that Martin is currently seeking help with his family after an incident at the team's cafeteria, according to team sources.

Martin is listed on the team's injury report with an illness, and is doubtful to play Thursday against the Cincinnati Bengals. Fox NFL insider Jay Glazer reported that Martin was the victim of a prank at the cafeteria, becoming enraged enough to "smash his food tray on the ground."

The second-year pro has not been with the team since that time. Darlington reports that Martin immediately sought treatment at a local hospital. He has since left the hospital and is now spending time with his family, according to team sources.

Martin opened the season as the Dolphins' replacement for Jake Long at left tackle. He was moved to right tackle when the team acquired Bryant McKinnie via trade last week. Tyson Clabo is expected to start in Martin's place on Thursday.

What did Todd Haley have to gain by saying that Pioli bugged his phone?

He could have sent Pioli to jail by turning over that bugged phone. He could of sued Pioli, the Chiefs and lived off the money for the rest of his life.

He never did turn over the phone ... why?

Incognito clears his name and probably saves his career immediately if he produces that text. Why hasn't he?

Incognito gives up the texts. Will offer some context, which was needed. I'd give them to anybody who wants them.

but that doesn't mean anything really because Martin was trying to avoid a confrontation with Incognito the entire time.

The other texts are the ones that count. If Martin was joining in with all the shit then that matters.

Jimmy Johnson said martin did not leave team cause of incognito it was cause he lost his starting job.

Eleazar · 11-10-2013, 12:16 PM

Welp, I guess we can confirm the media made this into a story just to have something to talk about.

The only thing notable here is that Martin is a quitter, right?

I can connect those dots. It's obvious the kid is soft so I can see where this would be one possible way for him to react.

I think the actual notable thing here is probably that Martin has some inherent mental illness (depression would be my guess) and the Dolphins don't appear to have a system in place to adequately deal with it.

Athletes are people too, even huge ones who make millions. And I think the sooner we, as a society, begin to accept the idea that mental health is a real thing, and that "toughen up and grow a pair" isn't the way to solve every problem, the better off we'll be.

But that's just my opinion...
