Dolphins Cut Richard Marshall

Richard Marshall released by Miami Dolphins - NFL.com

Interesting, anyone interested on taking a flier on him??

His troubles have come when he's asked to play as a starter outside. Doesn't sound like the solution to the Pats' problems.

Well maybe as a reserve guy he'd be fine, but your probably right as for him being a starter.

Dolphins release cornerback Richard Marshall | ProFootballTalk

Injuries limited Marshall to four games in his first season with the Dolphins. In early November, Marshall landed on injured reserve.

Cutting him allows the Dolphins to avoid a $4.55 million base salary. He instantly becomes a free agent.

The Dolphins tried to trade Marshall, but no one was willing to absorb his contract, which also had a $5.3 million base salary in 2014.

Sign The Beast...

...if he can pass Bill's physical...and if he accepts slightly above vet minimum + service time,
plus some makeable when healthy incentives.

Sure, could be a decent pickup for cheap.

didn't I argue with you all the time years back?....krist, it's like your reading my mind...exactamundo...vet minimum +/- 10%...if he's Dowling II then you move on not much worse for wear.

I'd take a look at him, I think he is better at safety, so he could potentially be the coverage safety to plantoon with Adrian Wilson, if he is healthy.

Joker · Aug 21, 2013

he's a little light in the seat at 190 to play safety...he's a nickel back IMO.

He played it some in AZ I thought. I was thinking strictly in passing situations.

Deus Irae · Aug 21, 2013

Unless they turned Ras-IR into a cyborg, the team needs more decent CBs. I'm all for them bringing in pretty much everyone they can think of for a test drive.

patsox23 · Aug 21, 2013

Generally speaking, I can't stand the "this guy's available, lets sign him" routine, but in this case I think it's worth exploring.

PATSYLICIOUS · Aug 21, 2013

If the price is right, go for it. With Dennard's situation up in the air, Talib's durability issues, and Dowling's inevitable IR trip, I wouldn't mind someone unseating Cole for the last CB spot. I'd like 5 actual corners instead of 4 (with one being a rookie and another having alot of trouble when forced outside lately) plus a ST guy.

Sign him today BB!! It couldnt hurt

jsull87 · Aug 21, 2013

I'd bring him in for the sheer fact it's

A.) Camp competition from an NFL vet at a young position

and

B.) Ask him the type of techniques that are being worked on in the Miami secondary. How are they doing X Y Z?

Definitely worth the quick look IMO.

If Marshall can still play, I imagine there will be plenty of competition for his services. How many teams feel great about their DB depth?

Kontradiction · Aug 21, 2013

Post back surgery, he looks like he's cooked. But, as has been mentioned, CB is a need. Wish the team would have brought in Grimes but c'est la vie.

VJCPatriot · Aug 21, 2013

a trial run? if he's cheap and willing to play on a prove it 1 year deal sure. if he's looking for his original salary... forget it!

BrickPat · Aug 21, 2013

Pats could always use another CB and his signing may cost Tebow a roster spot- win- win!
