The Giants released Martin on Wednesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Martin appeared in just five regular-season contests in 2019 due to a knee injury, notching six tackles (three solo). His release frees up $4.8 million in 2020 cap space for the Giants while leaving $1.2 million in dead money. The 28-year-old will now look to latch on elsewhere in the league ahead of training camp.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2019
2015
Martin has increasingly become a relied-upon defensive force as his career has progressed, starting in 53.1 percent of his team's games (split between Cardinals and Giants) over the past two years, after making four starts in his first 40 career appearances. He's been relatively durable in five professional seasons, missing just eight of a possible 80 appearances, and seems like he could be on the verge of a breakout campaign, having more than tripled his previous career high in QB hits last year (three to 10).
After manning outside linebacker in college, Martin was tabbed to play defensive end as a rookie in 2014, and the results weren't pretty (eight tackles, one sack, and one forced fumble in 11 games). The majority of his snaps occurred in the first half of the season, as he logged only 16 of his 183 on the season over the last seven contests. Martin's offseason has included a switch to his more natural position, OLB, where he's slated to act as Alex Okafor's primary backup on the strong side. While his snaps will likely be limited, Martin may have more opportunity to unleash his pass-rushing ability.
