Looks like torn triceps... MRI in the morning and we'll know.

I think that was his last snap as a Dolphin. He cost to much for his low durability and erratic play. If Martin can play the position, we go shopping for a RT this year and save a boat load of money.

He's "injury prone".

"Yeah hi Jonathan? Yeah its Jeff. No no, don't get comfy, I'm still Mr. Ireland to you you freakin' albatros. Get your sh*t together and protect Ryan's blindside or I'm out of a job. And I will cut your A$$ and tell everyone your mom's a prostitute if you fail. Sound good? Great, see you at the team pasta dinner on Tuesday."

"Jeff, can I call my Grandma" lol

good riddance, jacob.

Should have traded him
Last offseason

nice to see us maintaining the Dolphin fan reputation.

He has a torn triceps. I'd like for us to take a look at Martin for the remainder of the season to see what he has at LT. We are pretty much out of the playoff picture, so, we may as well evaluate players if he opportunity affords itself. I think this injury sets the Dolphins behind as I was hoping to franchise to Jake Long next year, but if Martin can elevate his play back at his natural postion, well, who knows.

Damn. So we didn't eve get to see any playoff wins with such a promising player.

Why even bother any more with getting a few talented players. Until Miami gets a new owner they should stop with the lame illusion of trying to build a competitive team and just go 100 percent into celebrity coddling and selling Jet's Jerseys instead of the 75% of their efforts concentrated in these endeavors at the present time.

ESPN's Adam Schefter, it would cost the Dolphins $15.365 million to use the franchise tag on LT Jake Long in 2013

Crazy money for him.

Often injured, played through them but at a low level..he's a goner.

It interesting how a week changes everything. Another serious injury? Man, bad news there.

Is it the same arm?

I said this last season..But this is what ended a Dolphin greats career at a young age,John Offedahl

Ireland is stuck in an odd place here. With Jake you have two big things working against re-signing him. One, the franchise tag would force us to pay him $15M next season. That simply isn't going to work. It would kill any opportunity we would have to make moves to improve the rest of the roster. And two, giving a declining and often injured lineman a long term deal also isn't going to work. So unless Martin falls flat on his face, I simply don't see a way we re-sign Long. He is going to command somewhere around $10M+ a season at the very least if a long term agreement can be reached, and considering the injuries he's sustained the last three years (back, shoulder, knee, tricep), that just isn't a smart move.

The only way I see Long staying in Miami is if, and this is a big if, Martin plays well the remainder of the season, and Long is willing to return and take on a lesser role (ie. play ROT). That lesser role would include a lesser salary obviously, probably somewhere around $6M-7M a season.

If I had to guess, I think we're going to make a low offer to Long, he'll walk, we'll get a compensatory pick, and we'll draft someone to take over at RT in either the 1st or 2nd round. Probably one of Sherman's kids from Texas A&M.

It's official. Looks like Martin gets a try out at LT.

Well I guess we'll be alright. As this upcoming draft features two top offensive tackles that are familiar with our system, offensive coordinator and quarterback in Luke Jooeckel and Jake Mathews both from TAMU.
