Seattle Seahawks were on the market for a wide receiver for some time now, and it was speculated that they could go all in for former Dallas Cowboys’ WR Dez Bryant. Still, the team decided to go with more experienced Brandon Marshall, who will be better locker room fit than Bryant. In order to free up the roster spot for Marshall, Seahawks released fullback Marcus Martin, who was signed as undrafted rookie free agent earlier this month.

During his 12 years in the league, Brandon Marshall played for Denver Broncos, Miami Dolphins, Chicago Bears, New York Jets, and New York Giants. He joined the Giants in the summer of 2017 but suffered an injury in Week 5, and was forced to undergo a season-ending surgery. Giants released him on April 19, 2018.

Marshall is currently the only player in the history of the NFL to have more than 100 receptions in six seasons. During his career, he had six Pro-Bowl selections and received First-team All-Pro honors in 2012.
