The NFL is expected to release the findings of the investigation into the Richie Incognito-Jonathan Martin situation any day now. There's now telling what conclusion investigator Ted Wells came to, but Incognito just went on a defensive Twitter tirade against Martin.

In the flurry of messages, Incognito claims that Martin, who he says was his best friend, wasn't telling the truth, apologizes to women for the language in his text messages, and most shockingly of all claims that Martin disclosed to him that he once thought about killing himself.

I'm ready to move on with my life and career. I've been dragged through the mud for months by my "best friend". #betrayed #railroaded

Dear Jon Martin..... The truth is going to bury you and your entire "camp". You could have told the truth the entire time.

Jon Martin---you started all of this when Kenny Zuckerman released the VM to ESPN. The same VM we joked about with @brianhartline

Kenny Zuckerman from Priority Sports.... What do you have to say for your actions? Why did you release the VM. What was your goal ?

I'm guilty of being a loyal friend and good teammate. I apologize for my poor language and rude remarks. I've never denied it.

I apologize to all of the women out there that I offended with my text messages to my close personal friend.

FACT: Jonathan Martin told me he thought about taking his own life in MAY 2013 b/c he wasn't playing well. Told me he felt worthless.
