Updating previous reports, Tampa Bay Buccaneers impending free-agent RB Doug Martin will not receive the franchise tag. Negotiations for a long-term deal are ongoing.

Footballguys View: Reports indicate that Martin wants about $7 million per year, and we’re not sure the Bucs will pay that. If Martin hits the open market, he might not get that price either. A team like the Titans could show interest in Martin if he’s available.
