TAMPA, Fla. -- Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Doug Martin has been suspended for four games for violating the NFL's policy on performance-enhancing substances, the league announced. Martin also announced that he will be entering a treatment facility to get help for issues related to the suspension. He'll begin serving his suspension immediately.
Martin was already expected to be inactive for this Sunday's game against the Carolina Panthers and Jacquizz Rodgers is expected to start in his place. But in the bigger picture, what does this mean?
This past offseason, the Bucs signed the two-time Pro Bowl running back to a five-year deal worth $35.
