I found this amusing. While Martin flashed talent at times. He was mostly a disappointing tease. He's not young anymore either. He's 28-years-old, and has missed a ton of games in his career. That includes the one year he played 16 games. It's not just a fluke injury or two either. He's missed 8 games one year, 7 another, 5 another, 4 another. Not to mention the games he went out early in.

Ten young players who will make a splash in 2007
DAVID MARTIN, TE, MIAMI
Signed by the Dolphins in the offseason, Martin will be a major part of Cam Cameron's rebuilt offense. Possessing the speed and quickness of a receiver, Martin gives them a bona fide threat down the middle. And while he has never caught more than 27 passes in a season, he has all of the tools to play the role of Antonio Gates (Cameron's tight end in San Diego) in the Dolphins' new offense. Moreover, new Miami QB Trent Green is used to throwing to a tight end after playing with Tony Gonzalez in Kansas City. It would not be a surprise to see Martin double his career high next season.
