Keshawn Martin: Cut by Detroit
Keshawn Martin was released by the Lions on Monday, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.Heading into the Lions' preseason finale, it was clear that Martin was on the outside looking in for a roster spot, so Detroit decided to cut bait with him early in order to open up more snaps for potential practice squad candidates at receiver during the last week of training camp. After appearing in just one game with the 49ers in 2016 and not making much of an impact in his previous four NFL seasons with the Patriots and Texans, Martin may not generate much interest on the open market.

Patriots' Keshawn Martin: Signs two-year extension
Keshawn Martin has signed a two-year, $3 million contract extension with the New England Patriots, ESPM.com reports.Martin, who finished the 2015 regular season with 24 catches for 269 yards and two TDs in nine games for the Patriots after being acquired in a Sept. 17 trade with the Texans, will thus continue to provide the team with wideout depth next year. Heading into the upcoming offseason, Julian Edelman, Brandon LaFell and Danny Amendola will all also be under contract with the Patriots in 2016, which probably puts Martin an injury or a personnel move away from fantasy relevance next season.
