he Las Vegas Raiders have decided against bringing back many of their free agents from last season. The team’s wide receiver corps is already thin but they didn’t show much interest in bringing back Terrace Marshall Jr.
He was signed during the season following the Davante Adams trade and played in seven games under head coach Antonio Pierce. With Pete Carroll taking over at head coach, he hasn’t seemed eager to bring back a lot of Pierce players.
Marshall is now off the market. According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, the wide receiver has signed a one-year deal with the Philadelphia Eagles.
This is a logical landing spot for him. The Eagles have done good work with wide receivers in recent years. Though Marshall hasn’t lived up to his status as a former second-round pick, he’s still only 24 and has plenty of upside.
He’s got good size at 6-foot-2 and is very fast. He was averaging over 30 catches a season before last year with the Raiders so he could be productive as a No.3 or No. 4 wide receiver. Marshall’s best path toward success is to become a reliable deep threat.
