Doug Martin talking contract with Buccaneers ahead of free agency

Doug Martin is having the best year since his rookie season, and is making the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' decision not to pick up the fifth-year option on his contract look foolish. Martin's scheduled to be a free agent this offseason, but he's made it clear that he wants to be back in Tampa after building a house there this past year. And now it seems the Bucs want him back too: according to Roy Cummings of the Tampa Tribune, the Bucs are in contract talks with their star running back.

Martin's had an odd career so far.
