ALLEN PARK -- Detroit Lions punter Sam Martin has reportedly agreed to take a pay cut heading into the regular season.

ESPN’s Field Yates reports on Twitter Friday morning that Martin’s non-guaranteed base for this season will drop from $2.4 million to a guaranteed $1.7 million. In addition, the punter’s contract for the 2020 season is now a “voidable year.”

Martin originally signed a four-year contract extension with the franchise before the start of the 2016 season worth $13.6 million.

In 90 career games for the Lions, Martin has a career-long punt of 72 yards and an average of 46.1 yards per kick. Martin missed six games in the 2017 season after his breakout 2016 campaign where he averaged a career-high 48.5 yards per punt. Last season, he appeared in all 16 games but saw his average drop to 44.7 yards per kick.

Before reworking his deal, the punter’s cap hit on the season was $3 million. Martin is considered as close to a lock as possible to make the Lions 53-man roster, and this move seems to confirm that notion.
