Jonathan Martin plans to continue his NFL career, though the jury remains out on whether he will be able to with the Miami Dolphins.
Martin left the Fins last week amid growing reports he was endlessly targeted and hazed by veteran teammate Richie Incognito. According to ProFootballTalk.com, all the harassment was enough to make the 24-year-old Martin contemplate quitting the game for good. He is now said to be undergoing counseling for emotional issues.
Still, to the surprise of many, several teammates have come out in support of the notoriously hot-headed Incognito, who since 2009 has consistently been voted by peers as among the league's "dirtiest players."
Wide receiver Brian Hartline told ProFootballTalk that even the infamous voicemail Incognito left for Martin, where he calls the second year player a half-ni**** "and even threatened to kill him was all done in fun.
Hartline further alleged that Martin passed around the voicemail for teammates to listen to while laughing it all off. Teammate Tyson Clabo also told ProFootballTalk he feels Martin "needs to stand up and be a man." He later added "I don't know why he's doing this."
