"I didn't have a ton of options," Marshall said, according to Brady Henderson of ESPN. "I think the sentiment around the league is that I'm done, and I get it. Rightfully so. When you get on the other side of 30 and your production slips and you have a big injury, people just count you out. So it was an interesting process. It was a humbling process, to say the least."
Marshall played just five games last season for the New York Giants, recording 18 receptions for 154 yards and no touchdowns before his season was ended by an ankle injury.
Now that he's signed, the 34-year old is excited to join the sixth team of his career for a 13th year in the NFL.
"There were some really tough days that I had to push through, mentally and physically, so for this to be an opportunity and come to (fruition), you can't ask for a better situation," Marshall said. "You've got probably a top-three quarterback (Russell Wilson), you've got one the best franchises, you've got a young nucleus, guys that are hungry and ready to compete."
Marshall was seen wearing his usual No. 15 at Wednesday's organized team activities.
