I acquired this guy via a trade this week and I have not heard much about him. Do you guys think he will have a similar value as McMicheal with Miami?

Trent Green doesn't have a good line with Miami and also is used to throw a lot to Tight ends (see Gonzo). So, I figured it will at least decent. I also heard that he was banged up a little bit...is he ok now?

What should I expect?

No reason to expect very much from him.

With most positions, ff value is based on both talent and situation/opportunity. With TEs, it's largely based on talent, a lot less on situation.

So if Martin couldn't do much in GB -- a much more productive passing offense, mind you -- he probably won't do much in Miami.

Cam Cameron liked utilizing the TE's when he was in San Diego. I think David Martin could surprise this year if he can stay healthy. Doesn't he have a history of being banged up?

He has a history of not being that good.Cam liked utilitizing his TE because he had Gates.Green liked using his TE because he had Gonzo.Who did those two teams have for WRs?And Gates and Gonzo are far more talented than Martin.When will people stop using that as justification for Martin...the guy could not beat out Bubba Franks and Donald Lee.

It's my opinion, and also Cameron has said that he likes him, and wants to use him in the passing game. Cameron has also stated that he thinks Martin hasn't yet shined while in the NFL, because of lack of opportunity, not because of lack of talent.

He had the opportunity last year with Bubba and Lee stinking up the joint...and he was so good that the Packers did what with him?

Martin has done one thing consistently in his six year career, "disappoint".
