Derrick Mason caught 6,114 yards in eight seasons with the Titans, and then added 5,777 yards over six years in Baltimore. And while that’s a difficult one to answer, how about this: no other player is within 1,500 yards of that feat. Rob Moore (Jets, Cardinals) and Tony Gonzalez (Chiefs, Falcons) are the only other players to gain over 4,000 yards for two teams. Moore picked up 5,110 yards in five years with the Cardinals, and 4,258 yards during the first five years of his career in New York. Gonzalez gained 10,940 yards during his 12 seasons with the Chiefs, and another 4,187 yards while playing for five years with the Falcons.
Harold Jackson actually began his career with the Rams, but did not record a catch in 1968. He then gained 3,493 yards in four seasons with the Eagles, 3,591 yards over the next five years with the Rams, and then 3,162 yards over the next four years while playing in New England.
Marshall gained 4,019 yards with the Broncos and 3,524 yards with the Bears, so he’ll need 3,163 yards with the Jets to set a new NFL “record.” The only other member of the 3,000/3,000/3,000 club? Irving Fryar. After him, Joey Galloway, Anquan Boldin, and yes, Marshall, are the only members of the 2,000/2,000/2,000 club
Marshall has a decent chance of becoming the record-holder in the above category; he’s got an outstanding chance of doing it in the next one. In fact, only two players have ever gained 1,000 career receiving yards with four different teams. One is perhaps somewhat easy — it’s Keenan McCardell, who had 6,393 yards with the Jaguars, 1,844 yards with the Bucs, 1,747 yards with the Chargers, and 1,133 yards at the start of his career in Cleveland. But it’s not McCardell who is the record-holder:
Jeff Graham. Oh, and Graham caught more touchdowns from O’Donnell in New York (3) than he did from him in Pittsburgh (1). Marshall may not be able to break the record this year, but should be in good shape to become the first player with 1,400 receiving yards with four different teams sometime in 2016.
