What started as a surefire path to stardom crashed and burned this week for former second round draft pick Terrace Marshall Jr. of the Carolina Panthers, as the fourth-year pro out of LSU was waived by the franchise after putting up 767 receiving yards and one touchdown in 36 NFL games with the franchise.
With a career approximate value of six (per Pro-Football-Reference.com), Marshall never lived up to the billing of a player who hauled in 106 catches for 1,594 yards and 23 touchdowns in three seasons in Baton Rouge, netting him a one way ticket out of town ahead of the NFL’s regular season.
With all that in mind, it’s worth wondering where Marshall will go next, which inspired BetCarolina.com to use our North Carolina sports betting mindset to put together some hypothetical odds on where the 24-year-old out of Bossier City, Louisiana will go next, with teams like the Washington Commanders, Detroit Lions and Pittsburgh Steelers all likely to kick the tires on landing a young wideout on the cheap.

Where Will Terrace Marshall Jr. Go Next?
Right now, it looks like NFC teams like the Washington Commanders (+700) and Detroit Lions (+800) are the frontrunners to land Marshall next, with both franchises needing depth at the WR position, with the former trading Jahan Dotson to the Philadelphia Eagles over the weekend, while the latter recently cut Donovan Peoples-Jones, opening up a spot on their 53-man roster for a player like Marshall Jr.
Longshots to swoop in and land the 24-year-old include the Pittsburgh Steelers at +1000, while the Buffalo Bills, New England Patriots and New Orleans Saints all sit at +1200 to sign Marshall next, with NFL teams needing more wideout depth than ever in today’s 17-game regular season world.
Whichever team does land Marshall Jr. is getting a player that’s struggled mightily in the pros, but that’s capable of posting eye-popping stats, as his three-year run at LSU can attest to, making the prospect of landing a 24-year-old with great upside on the free agent market (and with no draft pick attached) all the more tantalizing for GMs across the NFL landscape.
