Inquiry says football player Incognito and 2 others harassed Martin

NEW YORK (AP) — Two other Miami Dolphins offensive linemen joined Richie Incognito in bullying Jonathan Martin, and at least one other lineman and an assistant trainer were also targets of the vicious taunts and insults, according to a report ordered by the NFL.

The report released today said John Jerry and Mike Pouncey followed Incognito's lead in harassing Martin, who left the team in October, about not being black enough, threatening to rape his sister and calling him a long list of slurs.

Martin's agent Kenneth Zuckerman said his client feels "vindicated" by the report and plans to continue playing football.

"He feels a great sense of relief," Zuckerman said. "Jonathan Martin is a great man and he's only shown me that he is very honest since the day I met him. He loves football and is eager to get back on the field, regardless of what team he plays for."

Incognito's attorney Mark Schamel released a statement calling Wells' report "replete with errors" and said that Martin "was never bullied by Richie Incognito or any member of the Dolphins' offensive line."

Martin has two years remaining on his rookie contract with the Dolphins but his future with the team remains uncertain. Martin declined interview request through Zuckerman.

Incognito was suspended in November, but Pouncey and Jerry remained starters throughout the season.

Another offensive lineman and an assistant trainer also routinely came under attack from the trio. Neither was identified in the report.
