It can’t surprise too many people that the Seahawks released wide receiver Brandon Marshall today. He started out fairly well for Seattle, with three catches and a touchdown in the season opener. But after being targeted six times in each of the first three games, Marshall had just nine catches for 120 yards and that lone touchdown. A 50 percent catch rate didn’t help his cause, and the return of Doug Baldwin to the lineup in week four cut into his snaps as well.
Marshall didn’t help himself in that game against the Cardinals by catching just one of his three targets.
