Reports: Marsh had locker room tirade over playing time while with Patriots

Share

So, why wasn't ex-Patriots defensive end Cassius Marsh not having any fun while he was in New England?

Part of it could be because he "pitched a fit over playing time" in the locker room at halftime of the Pats' victory over the Raiders in Mexico City last November, as Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated's MMQB.com reported in his column.

Jeff Howe of the Athletic also reported that Marsh tossed a Gatorade jug as part of his meltdown. It was one of the last moves as a Patriot. He was cut two days later.

Marsh played two defensive snaps in the game and six on special teams. 

Marsh, signed by the 49ers a week after the incident, prompted a discussion about the "fun" - or in his view the lack of it - that Patriots players have under Bill Belichick after his comments to the San Francisco Chronicle about how he didn't enjoy his nine-game stint in New England last season.
