Doug Martin released by TB

[thecore762]

He could be a good fit on this team if he is healthy.

Buccaneers release RB Doug Martin after six seasons

 

[chasa]

can he rush the passer or play CB?

We are stacked at RB right now, so unless hes coming uber cheap, i'd rather put cap money at positions of greater need.

Stacked might be a strong word. Until we resign Gilleslie and/or Lewis, we have White (solid), Burkhead (solid but had injury issues) and Bolden (Great depth but not a regular offensive contributor). If we end up losing Lewis to FA, Martin could be a good replacement option. All depends on price.

The Pats don't have a single back you can hand the ball on 3rd and 1 and be confident he can get the yard.

Burkhead is the FA, Gillislee is under contract.

 

[Kontradiction]

I'd rather them re-sign Lewis. Martin was a fun back to watch in his absolute prime, but he's an injury waiting to happen.

 

[Joey007]

I mean, he has an incredible year once every three years. Probably due for another one.

I'd feel confident with Burkhead and Lewis in that situation. Problem is both are free agents.

I would not feel confident with Doug Martin in that situation. He was exciting to watch his rookie year but hasn't done a damn thing since other than a couple years ago.

 

[TBR]

Might as well go with Murray if we're looking at aging, injury prone RBs. Murray is a better pass catching RB. Although Lewis and Burkhead should be the main priorities at the position.

Burkhead is the FA, Gillislee is under contract.

My mistake! In a way that almost makes the depth feel weaker IMO.

We have the following RB's under contract: White and Gillislie.

Now Cushing I would bring in for a look.

and bolden.

we a re currently 3 deep at RB. Doug martin hasn't had more then 450 yards in three years. We would be better off signing a UDFA rookie, unless doug martin comes at vet minimum with zero guarantees.

 

[Joey007]

Now Cushing I would bring in for a look.

Cushing is a roid using tool-bag.

Can you trust him? He’s a solid linebacker but can screw you over pissing hot at any time during the year.

With Dion Lewis likely going and Burkhead in the Witness Protection Program since returning from injury, we are not stacked at all.

That said, always loved Martin's body build with the low center of gravity, and he may have a year or 2 left.

Sort of a wasted career down there.

Roid freak from jersey. No thanks.

 

[Kontradiction]

Cushing is a roid using tool-bag.

He's a good LB though and would instantly improve that corps unless his injury history has become too much for him to continue playing through.
