Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Terrace Marshall.
In a time when the Philadelphia Eagles might need every wide receiver they have on the roster to pitch in one way or another, they just let one walk out the door.
Former second round pick Terrace Marshall Jr.’s agency announced he’d signed with the Miami Dolphins on Wednesday after spending the 2025 season with the Eagles.
“Congratulations to our very own Terrace Marshall Jr. on signing a contract with the Miami Dolphins,” Elite Loyalty Sports wrote on its official X account. “Good luck in South Florida, TMJ.”
Marshall, 6-foot-2 and 200 pounds, was a 2021 second round pick (No. 59 overall) by the Carolina Panthers and didn’t play in any regular season games for the Eagles, spending the entire time on the practice squad.
“Dolphins are signing former Eagles WR Terrace Marshall to a Reserve/Future Contract,” OTR Victory’s Jimmy Smith wrote on X.
Eagles Brought Marshall Back Late in Season
The Eagles signed Marshall to the practice squad on Monday, December 1, ahead of their Week 14 Monday Night Football game against the Los Angeles Chargers.
“Eagles signed WR Terrace Marshall to their Practice Squad,” ESPN’s Adam Schefter wrote on his official X account.
Marshall, 6-foot-2 and 200 pounds, signed a 1-year, $1.195 million contract with the Eagles in April and made it to the final roster cuts on August 26. The December signing was his third stint on the practice squad with the Eagles last season.
With 5 regular season games left, Marshall could have been on the roster for 3 games before the Eagles have to elevate him to the 53-man roster.
“Eagles bringing back Terrace Marshall to the practice squad is the kind of low key move that wins championships,” Marcus Burelius wrote on his official X account. “Dude ran a 4.38 at his pro day and still has that LSU explosion. People gave up on him way too fast just because Carolina never used him right. Philly already has the best receiver room in football and now they add another freak athlete for free. Other teams must hate watching Howie Roseman work. This roster is straight up unfair at this point.
Eagles Hoped Marshall Could Be WR3 Option
Marshall got somewhat of a fresh start after spending the first 4 seasons of his career on some truly terrible teams in 3 seasons with the Carolina Panthers and one season with the Las Vegas Raiders in 2024.
The Athletic’s Brooks Kubena singled Marshall out during minicamp after he made several big catches against cornerbacks Cooper DeJean and Adoree Jackson.
Still, it was going to be difficult for Marshall to crack the lineup with stars A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith in the top 2 spots followed by another former first round pick, Jahan Dotson, as the third starting wide receiver.
“The Panthers were dreadful while Marshall failed to find his footing during his three-year tenure there, and, after they cut him in training camp last year, he saw nominal playing time after finding work with the Las Vegas Raiders in October,” Kubena wrote on June 11. “Can Marshall revamp his career in Philly? Can Marshall afford the Eagles more than one reliable backup (which the Eagles have needed with both (DeVonta) Smith and (A.J.) Brown managing injuries in each of the last two seasons)?”
