The Facts:
In what figures to be one of his final moves with the Jets before his anticipated retirement, Martin re-worked his contract for a second straight year, and provided the team more salary cap room. According to league salary documents, Martin, who missed the entire 2006 season with a knee injury, reduced his 2007 base salary from $3.25 million to $820,000 which is the NFL minimum for a player of his seniority.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Last year, Martin agreed to reduce his salary from $2.5 million to $810,000 when it became clear he would not be able to play because of a knee injury. The restructured contract will save the Jets more than $2 million in cap funds this season. There were rumors Martin, who hasn't played since December of 2005, might attempt to play again this season, but Martin is now expected to retire at some point before training camp.
