Dolphins Trade Martin to the 49ers, Reuniting Martin with College Coach from Stanford, Harbaugh

Jonathan Martin is returning to familiar territory, months after he accused a teammate of bullying and left the Miami Dolphins.

The offensive tackle is headed back to the Bay Area to play for Jim Harbaugh.

Martin was traded from Miami to the San Francisco 49ers on Tuesday night, reuniting the lineman with his college coach at Stanford.

The +Miami Dolphins announced the move late on the first day of N.F.L. free agency. San Francisco then confirmed the trade, saying only that it would send an undisclosed draft choice to Miami and that Martin still must pass a physical to complete the deal.

“Can’t wait to get to work,” Martin posted on Twitter.

An investigation for the +NFL determined last month that Dolphins guard Richie Incognito and two other offensive linemen engaged in persistent harassment of Martin, another offensive lineman and an assistant trainer.

COWBOYS RELEASE WARE The +Dallas Cowboys released DeMarcus Ware, the franchise’s career sacks leader.

Ware had a career-low six sacks last season and was sidelined for three games with a thigh injury, the first time he had missed a game in his nine-year career.

+Denver Broncos appear to be in solid lead for Ware's services.

+Chicago Bears CUT PEPPERS Chicago released defensive end Julius Peppers, an eight-time Pro Bowler, in one of several moves to reshape the team’s defense. Given that Peppers finished last season with seven sacks and that his salary-cap hit for next season was more than $18 million, the Bears were expected to let him go or restructure his contract.

The Bears agreed to contracts with the former +Oakland Raiders defensive end Lamarr Houston, the former Giants safety Ryan Mundy, and linebackers Jordan Senn and D. J. Williams.

+Pittsburgh Steelers DROP WOODLEY Pittsburgh released linebacker LaMarr Woodley, 29, with a post-June 1 designation. By postponing the move until after June 1, the Steelers will free up about $8 million in salary-cap space for 2014. Woodley will, however, count $8.5 million against the team’s cap number in 2015.

+New York Giants ADD DEPTH The Giants reached agreements with the former Kansas City guard Geoff Schwartz and the former Oakland running back Rashad Jennings, the players announced on Twitter. Seattle linebacker O’Brien Schofield also agreed to a deal with the team, and kicker Josh Brown indicated on Twitter that he had re-signed with the Giants.

LONGER DEAL FOR JETS’ FOLK The +New York Jets re-signed kicker Nick Folk to a multiyear contract, less than two weeks after placing the franchise tag on him
