New PFT article:
For several weeks, if not longer, we’ve said that the Colts could be the best fit for Dolphins tackle Jonathan Martin, if/when (when) Martin leaves the Dolphins.
Colts quarterback Andrew Luck believes it’s a good fit, too.On Wednesday, Luck told Pro Football Talk on NBCSN that he supports the idea of the bringing his former Stanford teammate to Indy.
While Luck pointed out that there have been no internal conversations
regarding the possibility of trading for or signing Martin, Luck made
it clear that he believes in Martin.
“I’d say I love Jon, we had a great time at Stanford together, still
stay in touch with him regularly and I think he’s a great man,” Luck
said regarding the input he’d provide, if/when (when) he’s asked about
Martin.
Luck said he still regularly talks to Martin, and that they spoke “[p]robably a couple days ago.”
Luck seemed to be choosing his words carefully, but he ultimately
provided one key word in response to the question of whether he’d be 100
percent in favor of acquiring Martin:
“Yes.”
The Stanford connection to Martin goes beyond Andrew Luck.
Offensive coordinator Pep Hamilton and tight end Coby Fleener also were at Stanford when Martin, a second-round pick in 2012, was there.
As a result, if the Colts don’t want Martin, the flag is about as red as it could possibly be.

This would probably be the best situation for all parties involved.
