Former Green Bay Packers middle linebacker Blake Martinez worked out with the Carolina Panthers on Wednesday. Martinez retired from football last year after being released by the Las Vegas Raiders. He spent time with the Green Bay Packers from 2016-2019.
Why Might The Former Green Bay Packers LB Come Out Of Retirement.
Former football player Blake Martinez retired in 2022 and started a business selling Pokémon trading cards and making millions off of selling the cards on Whatnot. In August 2023, accusations surfaced that Blake Martinez’s Pokémon stream on the Whatnot platform scammed buyers. Several videos were released, providing evidence of the alleged scams, and the Pokémon community initiated an investigation into the matter. RattlePokémon, a streamer, published a series of videos on YouTube regarding the issue. As a result of the allegations, Whatnot permanently banned Blake’s Breaks and several associates from their platform.
Martinez is currently seeking a new source of income as he is no longer allowed to sell Pokémon cards, which has damaged his reputation in Pokémon trading cards. Observing if any team decides to sign him and how well he performs after returning to the NFL will be intriguing.
