Wide receiver <a href=\"https:\/\/heavy.com\/nfl\/player\/terrace-marshall\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Terrace Marshall<\/a> finished up the year on the practice squad for the <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/heavy.com\/sports\/nfl\/philadelphia-eagles\/\" title=\"Philadelphia Eagles\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\" data-wpil-monitor-id=\"159917\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Philadelphia Eagles<\/a>, but they decided against signing him to a Reserve\/Future contract.<\/p>\n<p>Luckily, Marshall didn\u2019t have to wait too long to find a new team. The Miami Dolphins have <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/eliteloyaltysp\/status\/2019041050783080950\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external nofollow\">decided to sign<\/a> the former second-round pick.<\/p>\n<p>The last time Marshall was able to get the field for a team was with the <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/heavy.com\/sports\/nfl\/las-vegas-raiders\/\" title=\"Las Vegas Raiders\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\" data-wpil-monitor-id=\"159916\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Las Vegas Raiders<\/a>. He played for the team during the 2024 season. He had three catches in seven games.<\/p>\n<p>Marshall was highly touted coming out of LSU, which led to him being a second-round pick of the <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/heavy.com\/sports\/nfl\/carolina-panthers\/\" title=\"Carolina Panthers\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\" data-wpil-monitor-id=\"159919\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Carolina Panthers<\/a> in 2021. He hasn\u2019t been able to live up to his draft status, but he\u2019s got good size and speed. He could make a case to earn a roster spot with the Dolphins this season.<\/p>\n<p>Klint Kubiak Ready for Head Coaching Job<\/p>\n<p>The Raiders are anxiously awaiting the Super Bowl to wrap up so that they can seal the deal with <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/heavy.com\/sports\/nfl\/seattle-seahawks\/\" title=\"Seattle Seahawks\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\" data-wpil-monitor-id=\"159921\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Seattle Seahawks<\/a> offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak. He\u2019s planning on taking the team\u2019s head coaching job, but he can\u2019t officially sign until after the season.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes coaching the Super Bowl can put candidates at a disadvantage. Clearly, helping a team get to the Super Bowl is the best way to show up coaching prowess, but Kubiak also hasn\u2019t been able to devote much time to the interview process.<\/p>\n<p>However, he\u2019s been ready for this process since before the season.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou get ready for those things in the summer, things that are important to you,\u201d Kubiak told reporters on Monday. \u201cAnd then, your resume is always on your film. That\u2019s something my dad always taught me \u2013 you better not be sitting in your office thinking about interview questions. You better be thinking about how to win the game because that\u2019s what it comes down to, is what the silent tape says.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Doesn\u2019t Sound Like Raiders Need to Worry<\/p>\n<p>Kubiak has yet to address the reports of the Raiders hiring him. He\u2019s singularly focused on trying to help the Seahawks win the Super Bowl. That said, every indication has suggested that it\u2019s essentially a done deal.<\/p>\n<p>Even Seahawks general manager John Schneider let it slip that Kubiak is taking the Raiders job. The most notable change of heart we\u2019ve seen in recent years was when Josh McDaniels decided to back out of taking the <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/heavy.com\/sports\/nfl\/indianapolis-colts\/\" title=\"Indianapolis Colts\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\" data-wpil-monitor-id=\"159920\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Indianapolis Colts<\/a> head coaching job. He suffered a major PR hit for that, so it\u2019s hard to imagine Kubiak would give the Raiders his word and then back out.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s going to be difficult for the Raiders to fully relax until it\u2019s a done deal, but there doesn\u2019t seem to be any reason to worry. Kubiak is ready to be a head coach and the Raiders\u2019 job is the only one that remains open, so the team doesn\u2019t have to worry about another team trying to poach him.<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/heavy.com\/author\/austincjboyd\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Austin Boyd<\/a> has covered the Las Vegas Raiders and Los Angeles Lakers for Heavy.com since 2019.
