Former NFL linebacker Blake Martinez is aiming for a comeback, which comes just months after his Pokémon trading card business was involved in scandal.
Blake Martinez wants another shot in the NFL, and it comes after the former linebacker’s Pokémon trading card gig hit rock bottom. Martinez was well known for his life after leaving the NFL following seven seasons with three teams to pursue the trading card business, especially when it came to Pokémon cards. It was reported that Martinez made $5 million selling these cards in seven months after retiring in 2022.
However, Martinez would tear his ACL in his third game of the 2021 campaign, ending it before things really got going. The Giants would later release Martinez, and he battled during Raiders training camp just to make the squad last season. Instead of continuing to fight in Las Vegas, Martinez wanted to pursue his trading card business full-time, leading to retirement. Blake’s Breaks was just a hobby of Martinez’s when the COVID-19 pandemic came around, but it developed into much more.
