Sam Martin played college football for the Appalachian State Mountaineers, and was drafted by the Detroit Lions in the fifth round of the 2013 NFL Draft.

The former Broncos punter Sam Martin is out as the Broncos punter, and Corliss Waitman is in, but he may not be out of a contract for long.

Martin is in Buffalo right now for a visit with the Bills.

The decision to cut Martin, who punted in 33 of the Broncos’ 35 games over the past two years, saves the team about $1.88 million in cap space when subtracting Martin’s $2.7 million cap number from what Waitman is set to earn ($825,000).

The Buffalo Bills released punter Matt Araiza two days after a civil lawsuit was filed alleging he and two of his former San Diego State teammates gang raped a minor.

Martin, 32, spent the last two seasons with the Broncos, averaging 46.4 gross yards on 132 punts, 47 of which were downed inside the 20-yard line.

According to Rapoport, the ten-year veteran set the franchise record for net punting (42.8 YPP) in 2021.

The Bills could end up with a new punter very soon!
