You'd think a guy whose nickname is "polar bear" would be happiest with one of the NFL's northernmost teams.
Not so for defensive end Cassius Marsh, who spent most of the 2017 regular season with the Super Bowl-bound New England Patriots before being released Nov. 21.
"It's a different place. I'll just say that. It's a different place," Marsh said of the team that traded two draft picks to acquire him from Seattle in September, then waived him 80 days later. "It didn't fit for me."
Marsh quickly was snapped up by the 49ers and the connection was instantaneous.
