According to Field Yates, the Lions restructured P Sam Martin‘s contract, dropping his base salary from $2.4 million to $1.7 million while guaranteeing the remainder.
Detroit also added a void option to Martin’s deal in 2020.
Martin, 29, is a former fifth-round pick of the Lions out of Appalachian State back in 2013. He was in the final year of his four-year, $2.320 million rookie contract when he signed a four-year, $13.6 million extension with the Lions in 2016, making him one of the highest-paid punters in the NFL.
Martin stands to make base salary of $3.25 million in 2020, the final year of the agreement.
In 2018, Martin totaled 3,310 punt yards on 74 attempts (44.7 per) to go along with four touchbacks to 32 kicks placed inside the 20.
