The Jacksonville Jaguars are signing a pass rusher in free agency — outside linebacker and defensive end Cassius Marsh who has been a journeyman since being drafted in the fourth round of the 2014 NFL Draft by the Seattle Seahawks.
This is according to Mark Long of the Associated Press.

One clarification: Arizona's Cassius Marsh would be a hybrid LB/DE and rush on third down.

Consider him an insurance policy for potential holdout/trade candidate Yannick Ngakoue.
One concern: Marsh has 14 sacks in 7 seasons. He's not Yan
A fourth round pick for the Seahawks in 2014, Marsh never produced enough to hold a roster spot for longer than a season or two after being released in 2017. He has 14.0 sacks, 28 quarterback hits, and 25 tackles for a loss in six seasons.
He has been durable, however — he has missed just one game since 2015.
Marsh’s father, a wide receiver who played college football at Utah, was drafted in the seventh round of the 1995 NFL Draft by the Jaguars.
