Linebacker/defensive end Cassius Marsh wanted out of New England.
Marsh told the San Francisco Chronicle recently that he “wanted to get waived,’’ meeting with coach Bill Belichick just before he was cut in November. The Patriots had acquired Marsh from Seattle for fifth- and seventh-round picks in a trade last September.
In that interview with the Chronicle, he expressed displeasure about how he was used and with how the Patriots go about things.
“They asked me to do a bunch of stuff that I had never done: covering running backs and receivers and basically almost never rushing the passer, which is what I did in playing defensive line,’’ Marsh said.
