The Baltimore Ravens have traded safety-cornerback Derrick Martin to the Green Bay Packers, according to a league source.

The terms of the compensation haven't been disclosed, but it's likely a 2010 late-round conditional draft pick.

Martin had a strong training camp and preseason, but wasn't slated for much playing time in Baltimore.

He intercepted a pass this preseason.

An athletic former sixth-round draft pick from Wyoming, Martin drew praise from Ravens coach John Harbaugh for his consistency with Harbaugh predicting he had a good chance to make the 53-man roster.

Martin also operates as a gunner on the punt team.

He was sidelined last season on injured reserve, undergoing surgery to repair a torn labrum.

The Green Bay Packers were looking for a young backup to Aaron Rodgers in last year’s draft and the one they were not counting on has won out again.

This time it cost Brian Brohm a spot on the roster.

Multiple league sources indicate that the Packers will place Brohm on waivers. The second-round pick from Louisville a year ago struggled in preseason, and was beaten out for the No. 2 job last year by Matt Flynn, a seventh-round pick from LSU in 2008.

In a final effort, Brohm completed 20-of-28 passes Thursday night at Tennessee for 154 yards. He was not picked off and didn’t throw for a score in directing the offense to one touchdown and two field goals. But it was mostly short stuff that he threw.

He finished preseason 39-for-62 for 300 yards with no touchdowns, three interceptions and a passer rating of 54.5. His 4.8 yards per attempt is indicative of the struggles he had.

The Packers have been rumored to be in the market for a quarterback. It was thought they might make a play for Kevin O’Connell after he was cut loose in New England, but they did not make a claim for him. Luke McCown has been mentioned as a possibility but indications are he will remain in Tampa Bay. Green Bay investigated signing Michael Vick.

Green Bay will now likely explore options for a third quarterback, and that could include bringing Brohm back as a member of the practice squad.

Defensive end Justin Harrell, cornerback Pat Lee, tight end Evan Moore and safety Charlie Peprah were placed on injured reserve. Like Peprah, Moore likely will be waived with an injury settlement.
