The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will use Charles Sims as their lead running back this year, if Pewter Report's Scott Reynolds is correct. In today's Fab 5 column, Reynolds notes that the Bucs are likely to pass on Doug Martin's fifth-year option, and that he could even be traded away on draft day.
Don't look for the Bucs to pick up the fifth-year option on running back Doug Martin, who was the team's first-round pick in 2012. With all of the speculation that the Bucs are one of the teams in the mix to possibly trade for Minnesota Pro Bowl running back Adrian Peterson or drafting a running back this year after selecting Charles Sims in the third round, it's a clear sign that Martin's days in Tampa Bay are numbered.
