Attorney for Jonathan Martin says tackle endured harassment from Dolphins teammates
• DAVIE, Fla. (AP) -- Jonathan Martin's new attorney says harassment of the Miami Dolphins tackle came from more than one teammate.
• The abuse went far beyond the traditional locker room hazing, including a malicious physical attack and daily vulgar comments, attorney David Cornwell said Thursday. He was hired this week to represent Martin, who left the Dolphins last week.
• His agent then complained to the Dolphins that Martin had been harassed, and they suspended guard Richie Incognito.
• The NFL is investigating whether Incognito harassed or bullied Martin, and whether their teammates and the organization mishandled the matter.
• Cornwell is a lawyer who has represented the NFL and several prominent players, including Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger. He also was a candidate in 2009 to become executive director of the NFLPA, a job that went to DeMaurice Smith.
