Former Jets and Patriots RB Curtis Martin was one of six players elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame on Saturday.
Also selected for enshrinement were DT Cortez Kennedy, OT Willie Roaf, C Dermontti Dawson and DE Chris Doleman. DB Jack Butler was voted in by the senior committee. Fourth all-time with 14,101 rushing yards, Martin also tallied 3,329 receiving yards and 100 total touchdowns in a career that featured a first-team All-Pro selection at the age of 31 and five Pro Bowl nods. Amongst the most notable omissions from this year's class are WR Cris Carter, WR Tim Brown, RB Jerome Bettis and coach/executive Bill Parcells. Sat, Feb 4, 2012 06:13:00 PM

Curtis Martin - RB - Jets

The New York Daily News' Gary Myers is "optimistic" that former Jets and Patriots RB Curtis Martin will be elected to the Hall of Fame in 2012.

This was his first year of eligibility, and with Marshall Faulk also on the ballot for the first time, Martin wasn't considered terribly likely to get in. He received more votes than Jerome Bettis, however, and with 10 1,000-yard seasons under his belt, he should find himself enshrined in the next few years.

Falcons owner Arthur Blank was seen having dinner with retired RB Curtis Martin on Wednesday.

Blank may be exploring the idea of hiring Martin to the front office. "It was clearly business," the restaurant manager said. "It wasn't two old buddies getting together. It appeared that Curtis was coming into town to see Arthur." There has been talk that GM Rich McKay's job may be on the line this year.

Curtis Martin - RB - Jets

Curtis Martin announced his retirement from football.

A bone-on-bone condition ultimately brought Martin's career to an end, just two years after arguably the best season of his career. The NFL's fourth all-time leading rusher will likely make the Hall of Fame, but may have to wait a year or two because of the amount of great players retiring recently.

Curtis Martin recently re-did his contract.

Martin agreed to void the 2008 and 2009 seasons and reduced his salary for this year from $3.25 million to the veteran's minimum of $820,000. The Jets had been well under the salary cap but Martin is probably bracing to retire and wanted to make sure he wasn't any extra burden on the organization.
