The Eagles are continuing their pattern of acquiring former Day 1 and 2 draft picks by signing wide receiver Terrace Marshall, per NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.
Marshall visited the Titans at the end of March, but ultimately came to terms to join the Eagles instead.
Philadelphia has signed or traded for a number of players who were highly-touted prospects when they entered the league, but struggled to initially live up to their draft billing. Last offseason, the Eagles added former first-rounders Mekhi Becton and Jahan Dotson, as well as Zack Baun, a third-round pick in 2020.
Marshall was drafted by the Panthers in the second round of the 2021 NFL Draft, but he struggled to find his footing with just 17 catches for 138 yards as a rookie despite a robust 422 snaps. He showed more promise with 28 catches and 490 yards in 2022, but played only nine games in 2023 with multiple healthy scratches.
The Panthers waived Marshall during final roster cuts in 2024. He spent time on the 49ers’ practice squad before joining the Raiders, first on the practice squad before a November promotion to the active roster. He appeared in seven games in Las Vegas, but only recorded three catches and 41 yards by the end of the season.
Marshall will be looking to rebuild his value in Philadelphia, where he could compete for the WR4 job behind Dotson, A.J. Brown, and DeVonta Smith. The Eagles also have Johnny Wilson, and Ainias Smith on the roster, but they represent either end of the physical spectrum and will likely have a more specific role as a result. Marshall is a solid athlete at 6-foot-2 and 200 pounds and can line up out wide or in the slot, but he will have to prove he’s worth of playing time and targets before the regular season.
