Doug Martin will be suspended for the first three games of the 2017 season and he won't be guaranteed the starting running back job when he returns to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

"It might not," Jason Licht said. "Look, he has done everything we've asked him to do, and he looks reminiscent of 2015 when he was playing for his contract. He looks the same out there, mentally and physically. So he might be one of those guys that needs a carrot. And he's got a pretty big carrot in front of him right now, because there's no guarantees that he's going to be here. And he knows that. We've talked to him, and he's good with it. He goes, 'I understand.'"

The Buccaneers believe Jacquizz Rodgers can fill in well at running back while Martin is out, and they like Charles Sims as a third-down back who can help in the passing game.

Jameis Winston has invited HBO's Hard Knocks cameras to his private, 6:00 a.m. pre-training camp workouts.

Winston is believed to be embracing the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' appearance on the reality show.
