ProFootballTalk is saying that the Saints "will try to sign" Marshall, but that seems to be based on this ESPN article where Schefter only says that "league sources believe the Saints will reach out and try to sign him".
So, it went from "league sources believe" to "WILL try to sign" in about 10 minutes.

Not necessarily -- Saintsreport is a fan forum, not a news source. Apologies for not making that clear.

I wasn't talking about Saintsreport; I was talking about ProFootballTalk. They're the ones who edited Schefter's quote ("sources believe") so that it just said "will try to sign".

Not sure I want to drop a player on my roster for this guy, but it is intriguing. Would any of you guys drop the likes of Goodwin or Peyton Barber for Marshall?

If you mean Marquise Goodwin ... in a heartbeat. And I don't think Marshall will be much in FFB -- just think Goodwin is not getting anything done in 2018.
As for Barber ... depends on your overall roster. If he's your RB4 or 5 and not getting much run (not even flexes) ... then sure, why not?

I wasn't sure if Dez was toast yet but from what Marshall showed earlier this year it's clear he is.

I think Marshall could be effective in a coordinated offense. His limited game performances in Seattle probably do not denote his upside. Brees is a better QB, and he's the 2nd or 3rd tall WR on the Saints, where he was the only tall WR on the Hawks. I could see him providing a decent 3rd down/possession type WR - and on the Saints offense that player might be a good flex option in deeper leagues.

This... could be interesting.

Marshall's going to have to learn the playbook in small chunks since he's never played in an Air-Coryell-terminology offense like Dez Bryant did. That will keep him from being a FFB force this year. A handful of 3-45-TD lines are not out of the question, but FFB owners can't count on that in any particular week.
EDIT:
SID, Robert Meachem was on Matt Moscona's show this afternoon. Meachem was saying that there would actually be plays where Marshall wouldn't know the whole call, but would check with Brees in the huddle to find out which route to run.
