The Facts: Following up on the previous item. ... If Martin somehow makes the 53-man roster – and him being cut by the Bucs is not a foregone conclusion at this point – he would be banished for the first three weeks of the regular season due to suspension and allowed to return in October for the fourth game of the year. The question for HC Dirk Koetter is where to put Martin on the depth chart, and how much time -- and carries -- does he invest in a player who won't be available until Week 4? That question doesn't have to be answered until the team takes the field in May for OTAs, but it's already on Koetter's mind.

Diehards Line: Martin is expected to show up on Monday, April 17, when the team reports for the beginning of offseason conditioning drills. Martin is allowed to lift weights and go through the first phase of the offseason program, which is conditioning. He’s also allowed to go to team meetings and on-field work in the OTAs and mandatory mini-camp. If he’s still on the team after the draft, Martin can even go to training camp and play in the Bucs’ preseason games in August. Remember, Martin’s success in 2015 played a large role in Koetter becoming an NFL head coach for the first time. That can’t be overlooked.
