Blazers Add Jaylen Martin on Exhibit 10 Contract
Portland has signed free agent wing Jaylen Martin to a non-guaranteed Exhibit 10 contract, according to Joe Freeman. Martin, 22, went undrafted in 2023 after playing in Overtime Elite and has mostly been in the G League, with 16 NBA appearances for Brooklyn and Washington in 2024/25. He is expected to rejoin the Rip City Remix, and the deal could pay him a bonus of up to $91K if he spends at least 60 days with Portland's G League affiliate.
Portland added Jaylen Martin, a 22-year-old, 6-foot-6 wing, on a non-guaranteed Exhibit 10 deal, per Joe Freeman. He will join training camp Wednesday. Martin entered the 2023 draft after Overtime Elite but was not selected. He has appeared in 16 NBA regular-season games for Brooklyn and Washington during 2024/25, while spending most of his first three pro seasons in the G League.
Last season he logged 39 games with Delaware and Rip City, posting 9.6 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 1.7 assists in 20.4 minutes, shooting .549/.250/.656. Portland had two preseason roster vacancies, so no matching move was needed; the club now lists 20 players, with 12 guaranteed standard contracts and three two-ways. Martin is expected back with the Remix, and his Exhibit 10 could yield up to $91K extra if he stays at least 60 days there.

This signing may matter most to Martin, his family, and other undrafted players chasing NBA chances, since an Exhibit 10 can offer a path to a modest bonus and continued development. It could also affect the Rip City Remix’s roster and Portland fans who follow the affiliate, while giving the Trail Blazers another low-cost training-camp option. Its broader social impact is likely limited, but it may illustrate how G League opportunities can support players’ careers and local basketball communities.
