Jonathan Martin traded to the 49ers

http://miamiherald.typepad.com/dolphins_in_depth/

(snip)
The nightmare is over -- for all parties involved.

Following through on owner Stephen Ross' words that neither Jonathan Martin nor Richie Incognito would return to the Dolphins after the 2013 harassment scandal, the Dolphins confirm they have agreed to trade Martin to the San Francisco 49ers.

Martin thus rejoins former Stanford coach and current San Francisco coach Jim Harbaugh in the Bay Area.

Basically, the 49ers got him for nothing.. Upton Mar 2014 #3
If he even makes the team as a back-up it's a good deal Auggie Mar 2014 #4

If it works out..fine. If not, that's okay too. The real risk here is for Martin, because if he can't play well for his old college coach, he will have no more excuses..

I'll trade a 7th round pick for a proven back-up any day.
