Jonathan Martin has been claimed off waivers by the Carolina Panthers . Aday after his release from the San Francisco 49ers , the offensive tackle joins his third NFL franchise in three years . Martin was a second round pick for Miami in 2012 and was at the centre of the Dolphins bullying scandal . He was abused by team-mates Richie Incognito , John Jerry and Mike Pouncey and left the franchise in October 2013 . Jonathan Martin heads to Carolina after drawing a close to his one-year stint with the San Francisco 49ers . Martin joined San Francisco last year and played 15 games at right tackle . The 25-year-old joins Michael Oher , who came to Carolina in free agency after a year with Tennessee , and the returning Mike Remmers on a revamped offensive line . 'Our goal is to build the strongest roster possible and add competition at every position , ' Carolina general manager Dave Gettleman said in a team release . `` Jonathan brings quality experience to our offensive line , having started 32 games in his career at both tackle spots . '' Carolina also strengthened their receiving corps with the addition of Jarrett Boykin on a one-year deal .
