Brandon Marshall is in search of a new NFL team.

Marshall, who signed with the New Orleans Saints about a month ago, was cut Wednesday afternoon by his new team, according to Field Yates. He didn’t even play a single snap for the Saints since getting signed.

My guess is that this is probably the end of Marshall’s career. It’s hard to keep playing football if you get signed by a Super Bowl contender and don’t even see the field. That’s generally a sign it’s time to hang up the cleats and move on to the next stage of life. (RELATED: Here Are The Best Moments Of Week 14 Of The NFL Season)

Marshall has played a hell of a career. He has 83 touchdowns in his career and has caught balls for more than 12,000 yards.

There’s a great chance he’s going to find himself in Canton someday, but I just don’t see him playing again anytime soon.

He’s well past the wrong side of 30 years old, which is the age receivers generally drop off in the NFL.

He had a good run. Accept that and move on to the next stage of life.
