The Daily News has a follow up on Curtis Martin’s life after playing, and his quest to own an NFL Franchise.

He won’t say which team he’s targeting – it’s not the Jets – but he’s investing an inordinate amount of time and money into it. Every couple of weeks, he’ll take a seven-day business trip, going from New York to Dallas to Miami (where he owns a vacation home) to Atlanta.

Why those cities? Martin won’t say, but one can assume he’s meeting with money men, perhaps potential investors or banks or both. A few months ago, he was spotted at an Atlanta steakhouse with Falcons owner Arthur Blank, fueling speculation. Mention the Falcons to Martin, and he gives a smile that says, “No comment.”

This much he will say: He hopes to be installed as an owner by next season, saying, “I really believe it’s going to happen.

Honestly, I have no idea which team it would be … but I hope that we will see this happen too.
