The Arizona Cardinals have another free agent leaving this offseason. Outside linebacker Cassius Marsh becomes the fifth of the Cardinals’ free agents to join another team.
According to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, he is joining defensive lineman Rodney Gunter on the Jacksonville Jaguars, agreeing to a one-year contract that pays him $600,000 in guaranteed money.
Marsh was signed just before last season to a one-year deal after he was cut by the Seattle Seahawks.
He played in all 16 games last season, starting three, and had 36 tackles and 2.5 sacks. Seven of his tackles were for loss and he also had five quarterback hits.
Depending in Marsh’s contract with the Jaguars, he could factor into the formula for the Cardinals to earn compensatory draft picks next year.
The Cardinals have signed three free agents — DL Jordan Phillips, ILB De’Vondre Campbell and OLB Devon Kennard. Kennard was cut by the Detroit Lions so he doesn’t factor into the compensatory formula.
The Cardinals have lost Marsh, DL Rodney Gunter, LB Joe Walker and WRs Damiere Byrd and Pharoh Cooper.
The Cardinals, even without Marsh, have five outside linebackers on the roster — Chandler Jones, Devon Kennard, Haason Reddick, Vontarrius Dora and Kylie Fitts.
