Blake Martinez Fantasy

The New York Giants signed former Green Bay Packers linebacker Blake Martinez to a three-year, $30 million deal on Monday night, according to a source. Martinez heads to the Big Apple after having recorded 512 tackles (331 solo), three interceptions and 17 passes defensed in his four seasons with the Packers. He had at least 144 combined tackles in each of the last three seasons. It would be an understatement to call him a tackling machine, and he's been a top-five IDP linebacker the last three years. That shouldn't change with his change of scenery.

The New York Giants are making a strong push to sign Green Bay Packers impending free-agent linebacker Blake Martinez, according to sources. Martinez, 26, led all linebackers in the NFL last year with 114 solo tackles. He has 140-plus combined tackles in each of the last three seasons, including a career-high 155 in 2019. Martinez has combined for just 10 sacks in four seasons in the league, but he's a tackling machine in the middle of the field and has been a top-five IDP linebacker on a weekly basis the last couple of seasons. The Giants have a need in both rushing the passer and limiting the run, and Martinez would definitely be a huge upgrade.

Green Bay Packers linebacker Blake Martinez said he got in better shape over the offseason. I basically gained seven pounds and lost 3 percent body fat, Martinez said. I think, they said, like (I) lost eight pounds of fat, gained 15 pounds of muscle. Not messing around this year. Last year, I wasnt happy a lot of things went into it. The 25-year-old is one of the best linebackers in the game and has exactly 144 total tackles in each of the last two years to go along with six sacks. He'll once again be one of the most attractive IDP linebackers in 2019.
