http://www.foxnews.com/sports/2014/03/12/dolphins-trade-away-alleged-bullying-victim-jonathan-martin/?intcmp=latestnewsThe Miami Dolphins announced Tuesday that they had traded Jonathan Martin, one of two former teammates at the center of the bullying scandal that cast a shadow over the team's 2013 season, to the San Francisco 49ers.
The Dolphins received a conditional draft pick from the 49ers in exchange for Martin, though the specific conditions were not disclosed. The 49ers said that Martin still had to pass a physical to complete the deal.
"Big news. ... Beyond Blessed ... Opportunities are few in the NFL... Can't wait to get to work #9erEmpire," Martin posted on Twitter. The trade reunites Martin with 49ers head coach Jim Harbaugh, who also coached Martin at Stanford.
"This is great for him to get back on the field and he's in Palo Alto right now. It couldn't be much better," Martin's agent, Ken Zuckerman, told the Associated Press in a phone interview. "I just think everyone wanted this to happen. Harbaugh knows Jonathan, I think the Dolphins were compensated and Jonathan wants to get back on the field. It's a good day."
