Report: 'No chance' Buccaneers retain Doug Martin
According to the Tampa Bay Times' Rick Stroud, there is "'no chance" the Tampa Bay Buccaneers keep running back Doug Martin in 2018.
What It Means:
Martin has three years and $20.75 million left on his contract, but his drug-related suspension wiped out the guarantees in his contract. The team opted to hold on to him and hope for a breakthrough season in 2017, but his release this season will save the Bucs $6.75 million in cap space for 2018. Jacquizz Rodgers is set to be the only running back under contract in Tampa Bay.
In 11 games and 8 starts, Martin rushed for 406 yards and 3 touchdowns on 138 attempts this season.
