San Francisco 49ers: Former lineman detained after disturbing online threat

Former San Francisco 49ers and Miami Dolphins lineman Jonathan Martin has added another chapter to what has been a very sad personal story.

Martin, if you recall – then a member of the Miami Dolphins who drafted him in 2012 with the forty-second overall pick – was at the center of a bullying scandal that involved teammates Richie Incognito, John Jerry, and Mike Pouncey.

It was a scandal that led to several firings within the Dolphins organization, and Incognito being essentially banished from football when text messages and voicemails with racial and even threats of violence emerged.
