Former Patriots defensive end, Cassius Marsh, had a short-lived career in New England after joining the team last September and then being waived in November. He was then claimed off waivers by the San Francisco 49ers last year.
Marsh recently spoke with the San Francisco Chronicle for an interview, and in that, he spoke about his time in New England.
As it turns out, Marsh hated his time there and told the Chronicle that there was “nothing fun” about it.
“It made me for the first time in my life think about not playing football because I hated it that much.”
But like loyal fans do, many Patriots’ fans jumped to their defense, along with current players on the team and those with ties to the franchise. Check out the tweets below.
Interesting! Marsh My dawg I’m not gonna knock him! I felt that same way about my time in Cincinnati! But I will tell you on my end I’m having a BLAST! Most fun I’ve had and I love it here 🤷🏾♂️ https://t.co/80igVUOA4m— Marquis Flowers (@MFlowers59) May 28, 2018
Since I’ve been asked so much, yes my time in New England was fun! I had a absolute blast. Everyone has their own unique experience and it might not turn out the way they would like but for me it was special. pic.twitter.com/MLipiJApPn— Shea McClellin (@mcckshea) May 29, 2018
Bill Belichick is not for everyone. I have lived it. BUT, if winning means everything to you, there is nobody in professional football better equipped to help you achieve that goal. End of story.— Louis Riddick (@LRiddickESPN) May 28, 2018

Sorry you didn't have fun when you were being paid millions to do a job. That must've been super tough.
