Bummer. I had really hoped he'd be able to contribute to the team. I'm guessing Moore's rise was a factor.

 

[Seymour]

Yep.....he got Moored!! Tough luck Brandon...but I like why this happened!

 

[sutz]

Almost surprising, but they weren't using him a lot, and when they did he had a couple of drops that hurt drives.

Good timing for him, I guess. It's that time of year when teams might be looking to pick up a vet WR. He might get a job.

 

[iigakusei]

Does that mean McKissic is back?

 

[hawkfan68]

He didn't make most of his opportunity. He dropped passes so he got dropped. Plus he doesn't contribute on special teams.

I thought his veteran presence would be great. And I felt like we should keep him for depth. So i don’t agree with this move but I understand

 

[James in PA]

Damn, saw this one coming for a while now. Cool dude, but was just a non favor. If this is it for his playing career, I’m sure he’ll get back into broadcasting.

It's very good timing for Marshall as it's before the league trade deadline. A team looking for a receiver might pick him up to save the cost of a trade.

With Baldwin back and Dickson active, his "veteran presence" is kind of superfluous. Hell, even No-E is hardly a rookie any more.

 

[AROS]

Bummer. I was rooting for him. Hope he can get picked up elsewhere. Good luck Brandon and thank you for your leadership in the locker room.

You don't think Baldwin's and Lockett's "veteran presence" is of any use to this team?

Twitter reactions can be comical .................... [tweet]https://twitter.com/3YearLetterman/status/1057345008938954752[/tweet] ........................ poor guy is still living in the last century.

He didn’t show up in Seattle. Probably going to get a tryout with the Patriots.

This is why I didn't mind him making the 53. One of the things I appreciate the most about our FO is the philosophy to give opportunities to those who earn them.

The 2017 draft is somehow looking like an A+ for the Hawks despite the Malik McDowell fiasco. Chris Carson, David Moore, Tedric Thompson, Shaq Griffin are key players while Ethan Pocic, Naz Jones, and Delano Hill are all contributing. Even Mike Tyson is currently on the Texans 53 man roster.

 

[kidhawk]

Had hoped he'd work out here, but it was obvious (painfully so) that it just wasn't working. No ill will and I hope he can find a place to continue his career and do well.

 

[Seahawk_Dan]

This was to be expected.

 

[sdog1981]

Brandon Marshall is a millennial. So I don't get that reaction. These millennial kickers, on the other hand, jeez what a bunch of choke artists

 

[Rat]

At least he can go to a contender now.

Not sure how you get "Baldwin and Lockett's veteran presence is of no use" out of "I thought Brandon's veteran presence would be great."

How does a positive ascribed to one player, become a negative for 2 other players? I see these kinds of posts all the time, and I don't see how they contribute to the conversation.
