The Patriots signed former Virginia Tech offensive lineman [URL="http://www.nfl.com/players/jimmymartin/profile?id=MAR650825"]Jimmy Martin (javascript:openWindow('http://tools.boston.com/pass-it-on?story_url=http://www.boston.com/sports/football/patriots/reiss_pieces/2008/01/martin_signs_fu.html','mailit','scrollbars,resizab le,width=770,height=450');) to a "future" contract.

Martin was a seventh-round draft choice of the San Diego Chargers in 2006 and has not played in a regular-season NFL game. He has most recently spent time on the Minnesota Vikings practice squad, and also played this past spring in NFL Europa with the Rhein Fire. He has experience at all three positions on the line.

The 6-4, 303-pound Martin will join the Patriots after the 2007 season is completed.

Hmmm..... The draft grades on him coming out last year were not good. They actually said he'd never make it in the NFL as a LT, the only chance he had to be productive would be to move to C.
