Marshall leaves Merchantmen for Greenjackets
Wendell Marshall's stint in Maassluis has ended after one season. The 31-year old defensive end signed a two-year deal worth just over $18M with the Augusta Greenjackets. Marshall came off a breakout season with 12.0 sacks as the Merchantmen leading pass rusher. The Merchantmen beat the Greenjackets in the wild card round of the recent playoffs. The Merchantmen tried to match the Greenjackets' offer, but Marshall took the offer from the East Coast based team, bringing his family back to the States.
To fill the gap, the Merchantmen selected rookie Gene Kondovski from Arizona. The Merchantmen staff assessed him as a top 10 pass rusher of this class. He should bring along some additional defensive abilities to support the run defense, if needed and is expected to jump in as a special teamer as well. The Merchantmen recently decided to keep veteran Ezekiel Wylie, expecting him to mentor Kondovski.
