RE: “Head coach Philbin wanted Incognito off the team before the season began.”

You sure about that, Moonman?

The Dolphins have a 6 player “Leadership Council” instead of team captains.

Philbin chose Incognito for the “Council” in September, before the first 2013 game.

Also, Dolphin players love Incognito, and virtually all the players on the team thought Martin and Incognito were friends.

Anyway - where do I sign up to get bullied?

Martin got a $2 million signing bonus, plus almost $1 million more in total salary for two seasons.

He was not performing well and was not developing as expected, and, before he walked out, he was understandably fearful that he might be cut in 2014 or forced to accept a pay cut.

By the way - Martin's mother is a successful trial attorney, and she and her law firm were advising Martin from the first day he walked out.

He was not performing well and was not developing as expected, and, before he walked out, he was understandably fearful that he might be cut in 2014 or forced to accept a pay cut.

Should also point out that he lost his job at left tackle after Miami signed an aging veteran to replace him at that position. In my opinion, they gave up way too much to sign McKinnie since he will not be the future LT for the team. And, if the right tackle wasn't terrible also, Martin wouldn't have gotten much playing time at all. Coincidentally, all this crap about being bullied started soon after Martin lost his job to McKinnie.
