Martin was signed by the San Diego Chargers as an undrafted free agent in 2009. He played college football at West Texas A&M.

He appeared in all four preseason games with the team in 2009, catching seven passes for 88 yards.

He then bounced between the practice squads of the Panthers and the Jaguars in 2010/11.

In 2012 he was signed as a free agent by Seattle on January 5.

Martin appeared in all four preseason games in 2012, catching one pass for a touchdown on August 23 versus the Kansas City Chiefs.

Our editor Q had this to say...

I hope TATE is back. Either Ricardo Lockette gets call, OR #Seahawks could be on the phone w/ Deon Butler. Thoughts on who replaces Martin?
