Two-time Pro Bowl running back Doug Martin has been released by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Mike Daniels Jersey , who may look for a replacement in free agency.
Martin rushed for a career-low 406 yards in 2017, when he averaged just 2.9 yards per carry after missing the first three games of the season while serving the remainder of a four-game ban for violating the NFL's policy on performance-enhancers.
The release comes less than two years after Martin signed a five-year, $35.75 million contract that would have paid him $6.75 million in 2018.
The 29-year-old was a first-round draft pick out of Boise State in 2012. He rushed for 1,454 yards and 11 touchdowns as a rookie, but was slowed by an assortment of injuries for much of the past five seasons.
He agreed to his big contract after rushing for 1,402 yards in 2016, finishing second in the league behind Adrian Peterson.
Martin lost his starting job to second-year pro Peyton Barber late last season. Tuesday's move leaves the Bucs in the market for a new featured back, which the team may seek in free agency or the draft.
The Patriots placed four players on injured reserve as they got to the 53-man roster limit.
They placed first-round offensive lineman Isaiah Wynn Bradley Pinion Jersey , wide receiver Braxton Berrios, linebacker Christian Sam and offensive lineman Ulrick John on IR.
The Patriots released the following 26 players: Defensive lineman聽John Atkins, punter Corey Bojorquez, running back Brandon Bolden, offensive lineman Luke Bowanko, offensive lineman Cole Croston, quarterback Danny Etling, running back Kenneth Farrow Alex Collins Jersey , offensive lineman James Ferentz, linebacker Marquis Flowers, running back Mike Gillislee, defensive lineman Trent Harris, cornerback Cyrus Jones, offensive lineman Jason King, linebacker Harvey Langi, defensive lineman Eric Lee Wes Schweitzer Jersey , wide receiver K.J. Maye, wide receiver Riley McCarron, defensive back A.J. Moore, fullback Henry Poggi, offensive lienman Brian Schwenke, offensive lineman Matt Tobin, defensive back Damarius Travis, tight end Will Tye DeMario Davis Jersey , defensive lineman Vincent Valentine, running back Ralph Webb and cornerback Jomal Wiltz.
Among the quirks in their roster at the moment is that they have just three wide receivers, setting the stage for more moves tomorrow.
