Three reasons why Brandon Marshall is a good fit with Seahawks
By Jalen Brown
Seattle needs another receiver
The Seahawks lost Paul Richardson and Jimmy Graham over the off-season, and they needed someone to fill that void. Brandon Marshall is a capable stopgap WR who should compliment the offense well. The team’s leading receiver, Doug Baldwin, is a top-flight wideout, but the team needed more weapons for quarterback Russell Wilson.
Many will look at Marshall’s stats from last year and say that he’s on the decline. The thing is, the Giants were a mess last year. Now, that isn’t the sole reason for Marshall’s decline in production, but it certainly contributed. He had 1,502 receiving yards only a few years ago, and while that level of production might not be realistic, he should still have something left in the tank.
