Jacob Martin Fantasy

The Denver Broncos acquired pass-rusher Jacob Martin and a fifth-round pick in 2024 from the New York Jets on Tuesday in exchange for a fourth-rounder in 2024, according to a source. Martin is one of several players that is expected to fill the void left by outside linebacker Bradley Chubb, who was traded to the Miami Dolphins at Tuesday's deadline. The 26-year-old should see a significant role on Denver's defensive line right away, at least until Randy Gregory and Baron Browning are able to return from injuries. Martin, a former sixth-rounder by the Seattle Seahawks in 2018 out of Temple, had just eight tackles (three solo), 1.5 sacks and a forced fumble in eight games with the Jets this year before the trade. He has 15 career sacks in five NFL seasons.

The New York Jets signed defensive end Jacob Martin to a three-year, $13.5 million contract on Thursday. The deal includes six million guaranteed. The 26-year-old is a solid addition and should bolster the Jets pass rush in 2022. Last season, Martin started in 14 of 17 games for the Texans and racked up 23 tackles, four sacks, and two forced fumbles. This offseason, the Jets have been active in free agency and will look to add more pieces to shore up the defense.

Houston Texans linebacker Jacob Martin is going on the Reserve/COVID-19 list after testing positive, according to a source informed of the situation.
