Martin doesn't sign retirement papers by 4 pm

Will not report to camp and is on the will not report list. Why would you want to keep this guy around if he doesn't have the desire to play? Let him go and fill the spot with someone who actually wants a chance.

We put him on the "Did Not Report" list instead, his spot was filled earlier when we signed Wile and Capers...

My guess is he doesn't want to practice against the Dolphins and will be back for rest of the camp!

Hated the signing when it was first announced, despite needing all the help we can get at OT... hate it even more now.  Dude wasted everyone's time, and suddenly decides to retire literally days before training camp.

Someone else could've had this dude's spot and minicamp/OTA reps.

didn't know enough about his play to hate the signing initially.  But I'm sure ANNOYED about this mess right now.

DG seemed really pissed about that when he spoke this morning. "Not going to go there" regarding whether Martin had an injury or not is interesting too. Seems Martin never told the team anything then out of nowhere he's like "I'm retiring and I have a back injury." Actually I kind of doubt he has any injury at all...

    • So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?
    • Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.
    • Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
