DE Cassius Marsh traded from Seattle to New England, per source.

EDIT
#First
It was a fifth and a seventh. Pretty expensive, for training camp left-overs

Anyone know anything about him?

Now Marsh is interesting. He's one of tbe few potential DE trades that made sense.

A young player that has flashed potential. He was just stuck behind the best trio of DEs in the NFL. This move smells like a real Pats find.

Cassius Marsh played 79.2% of Special Teams snaps in Seattle last year, he steps into Geneo Grissom's role

Hope he is a better DE than Grissom !!!

Marsh is a solid backup. Good acquisition. Seahawks are always loaded up front so that's why they parted with him.

Who is he? Where did he play his college ball?

6'4 250lbs, High Motor, Versatile

Looks like we gave up the 7th and a 5th, according to Schefter.

 

[SammyBlueCat]

Wow.

 

[patsinthesnow]

According to the trade compensation & Seahawks fans' thoughts on Marsh, he's our new starting OLB across Hightower in the 3-3-5 & a potential breakout player.

So now it's a 5 and Coleman for Marsh. I'm ok with that.

 

[SammyBlueCat]

He has a lot of tattoos so he is in essence taking Chris Long's spot ;O

Oh and he is only 25.

 

[cupofjoe1962]

Covers kicks, blocks field goals & sacks the QB.

What's not to like?

Michael Bennett on Cassius Marsh: He is 'really improving every single day'

Michael Bennett seems to be right on the money when picking which Seattle Seahawks players will have a breakout season.

Bennett, who previously predicted defensive-lineman Frank Clark’s leap last year, told reporters on Thursday during Day 4 of the team’s training camp that he believes defensive end Cassius Marsh is primed for a jump this upcoming season.

"I think Cassius Marsh is a guy that I think is really improving every single day,” Bennett said in the post-training camp press conference. “I think he is really going to take the jump like Frank did last year.”
