Overview
- Martin was a productive college linebacker who finished at Memphis with two All‑AAC honors and 206 tackles across two seasons.
- He made the Baltimore roster as an undrafted free agent in 2025 but appeared in only three games after suffering a torn ACL in Week 13.
- Martin spent part of the 2026 offseason with the Philadelphia Eagles, was waived before training camp, completed ACL surgery and has since been medically cleared.
- The Giants signed him to a one‑year contract to provide special‑teams depth and linebacker insurance while reuniting him with Harbaugh, who coached him in Baltimore.
- The signing follows a common NFL pattern of coaches adding familiar depth players and gives Martin a clear path to rebuild his career by competing for a roster spot on special teams.
