As the 2023 NFL trade deadline approaches, an increasing number of players appear to be available.
That includes Carolina Panthers wide receiver Terrace Marshall Jr., who has been given permission to seek a trade, according to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler.
“Carolina has discussed the matter with agent Vince Taylor as the player seeks a more prominent role. He’s welcome back if no trade found,” Fowler posted to the social media platform X (formerly Twitter).
It will be interesting to see how the market plays out for the 23-year-old Marshall, who was a 5-star recruit coming out of high school, according to 247 Sports. Following a three-year college career at LSU where he caught 23 touchdowns, he declared for the 2021 NFL Draft.
The Panthers selected Marshall in the second round (No. 59 overall) in the draft and he appeared poised for a strong rookie season in Carolina. After catching just 17 passes for 138 yards in 13 games as a rookie, he put together a more productive 2022 campaign (28 catches, 490 yards, 1 touchdown), but has tallied just 16 catches for 114 yards through the first six games of the 2023 season.
After not playing a single snap despite being active in a Week 5 loss to the Detroit Lions, it makes sense that Marshall would seek a fresh start. Shortly after news of Marshall’s trade request was made public, many took to social media to weigh in on the matter.
Jeremy is on point. League source confirms Marshall has received permission to seek a landing spot.
Marshall is cost-controlled through 2024 and has a second-round pedigree with athletic upside.
That said, struggled to get on the field with underperforming players ahead of him. https://t.co/Ma9AmH4I25

If he’s cheap this would be a really nice addition for the #Browns as he’s under contract for 2024.
Maybe a pick swap and Goodwin going the other way gets it done.
Issue could be he wants a bigger role which they can’t offer this year. https://t.co/7o98fDkCZj

The Panthers WR situation is awful and he can't find a bigger role there.
That kinda suggests it's a him problem not a team problem. https://t.co/MMDiJMNXen

Could help a lot of teams, talented player that produces every time he has a role https://t.co/dL85zqGEjd

Would be a very cheap upgrade over the WR3 the #Jets currently have.
If they’re not swinging for someone like Jeudy or Renfrow, Marshall makes some sense as a flier. https://t.co/eFql1V82f9
