Buccaneers GM Jason Licht admitted that the possibility exists that the starting running back job may not be available to Doug Martin once he’s ready to return from his suspension.
“It might not,” Licht said. “Look, he has done everything we’ve asked him to do, and he looks reminiscent of 2015 when he was playing for his contract. He looks the same out there, mentally and physically. So he might be one of those guys that needs a carrot. And he’s got a pretty big carrot in front of him right now, because there’s no guarantees that he’s going to be here.
