The Seattle Seahawks brought back a familiar face to help shore up a position of need, coming to terms on a one-year deal with free agent Cassius Marsh, according to ESPN’s Brady Henderson. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Marsh, 26, was a fourth-round pick out of UCLA by the Seahawks in the 2014 NFL draft. He was with Seattle for three seasons, appearing in 37 games and racking up 25 solo tackles, five quarterback hits and three sacks.
The Seahawks ended up trading Marsh to the Patriots just before the start of the 2017 season, acquiring the fifth round pick they used on tackle Jamarco Jones.
Marsh tied a career-high with three sacks in a 2017 season that was split between the Patriots and the 49ers. He had the best season of his career last year with San Francisco – racking up 5.5 sacks, 14 quarterback hits and 27 solo tackles.
Marsh was released by San Francisco and now ends up back in Seattle, where he won’t cost the team a comp pick.
He should compete to line up opposite Frank Clark on the edge, a spot previously held by Dion Jordan and Quinton Jefferson.
