Doug Martin issues statement after getting released by the Buccaneers



Doug Martin experienced his fair share of highs and lows during his six seasons with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Selected 31st overall in the 2012 NFL Draft, the Oakland, California native appeared in two Pro Bowls and was named to the First-team All-Pro in 2015, but he also faced a lot of negative criticism due to his reoccurring injuries.



However, Martin’s time in Tampa Bay came to an end on Tuesday afternoon after the team announced they were cutting the veteran running back.



A couple of hours after the news made its way around the football world, the 29-year-old released a statement on his social media platforms to address the team’s decision to release him and what’s up next for him in his career.



Martin racked up 4,633 rushing yards, 1,091 receiving yards and 28 total touchdowns over 68 games in a Bucs uniform and sits fourth on the team’s all-time rushing list.
