Now that NYJ has Santonio Holmes and Braylon Edwards will they invest in Brandon Marshall? It would be a radical path to have this many WR's who are all question marks. It's definitely high risk but it may also be high value as is evident by NYJ getting Holmes for yard sale prices. Would NYJ look at it as the odds are good that they can have two out of three at any particular time if they space out possible future suspensions?

That would result in having to rework 3 WR contracts in one offseason for the Jets. Could it happen? Sure. I doubt it will. I think Marshall is a Bronco for one final year.

they'll trade him for Seattle's 2nd

Most likely Seattle.
But maybe Pitt, they now have a gaping hole at WR. Not sure if Marshall is of any better character than the guy they just shipped out though...

He's staying in Denver.

Marshall will be a Redskin before training camp. Shanahan drafted him, and he isn't there to rebuild (hence McNabb). What Shanahan wants Bruce Allen will deliver. They aren't going into the season with Devin Thomas as their top WR. Their 2011 1st rounder will seal the deal in an instant.

Sense is not something McD has shown with in house talent. Hes made some good moves, but his game plan and personal moves with former Shannahan picks has been anything but sensible. I think there is a fair chance he stays in Denver, from a winning game standpoint they need him. They sure as hell won't be getting better as a football team if they get a second rounder for Marshall, and if the Broncos don't show improvement the fans are going to revolt.

I'm guessing this is a joke, but this wouldn't work on a few different levels.Most importantly, from a personnel standpoint, Haynesworth wouldn't fit. Hes a penetrating 4-3 DT, and the Broncos run a 3-4, so he would be mostly useless. Haynesworth was also grossly overpaid last year for diminishing production, which could have been predicted being that he has one year (his contract year) that was far better than the rest of his career. And even if he was a perfect fit, and was the player people though he would be a year ago, Bowlen (Broncos Owner) is likely the most, or at least one of the most, cash poor owner is all of sports (almost all of his wealth is the franchise) and I doubt he has an desire to add his absurd contract to the team.

As said, it's very doubtful the Broncos get a 1st rounder for Marshall but a 2nd seems very doable. I know Seattle would like to get him with their 2nd but I think there's a couple of teams with higher 2nd round picks than the Seahawks that could snatch Marshall away from them. The Rams could offer their first pick in the 2nd round for Marshall. Surely would give Bradford a talented receiver to work with his rookie season and help make his transition a little easier. The Rams have very little talent in their WR corps and if Avery is the best that Bradford gets to work with this year his production will be limited. Adding Marshall would greatly help their incoming rookie QB as I'm assuming they take Bradford. I've seen where Tampa Bay could persue Marshall as well since they have a better 2nd round pick than Seattle. Now the Seahawks may lose out completely on Marshall. Seattle wasn't going to give a first for him earlier as that was what the Broncos were wanting. Now with Holmes going to the Jets for a 5th that makes me believe the Broncos won't get any higher than a 2nd round pick for him. Teams know they're not gonna have to give up a 1st so their could be 5 or 6 teams persuing Marshall. The onus would then be back on Denver as to whether they'll take a 2nd. Somebody might have to even sweeten the pot with a player as well. If Denver isn't happy with any of the offers I could see them keeping Brandon this year and McDaniels will do what he has to to keep Marshall productive. His baggage compartment's quite full but he could still add more trouble to it in the future. Even with his problems he's too talented to not at least offer a high 2nd round pick for him.

True Shanny drafted him and stood behind him when Marshall got areested a couple of time. But I don't think he's worth a 2011 first round pick. I could see them packaging a player and lesser 2011 pick for him though. Maybe Santana Moss?Aardvarks said:

It seems pretty clear that it is Seattle and it will probably be for a second rounder as I said about a month ago.
They are the one team who has consistently been associated with Marshall this off season.
They are the one team where he actually visited. I don't think he has actually been to visit any other team has he?
They are not only out of the division, they are in the other conference.
I suppose that St. Louis is a legitimate possibility too and their second rounder would be slightly higher.
Detroit: No. They already have Calvin.
Tampa could use him but I thought they said that they were not interested.
Washington: they have some young WRs to develop and I am not so sure that Shanny really wants Marshall again.
KC: No way Denver trades him to a bitter division rival.
He isn't going lower than Seattles second round pick. So I see St. Louis or Seattle as the most likely destinations. What is unclear to me is whether or not St. Louis really wants him.
Teams like GB or NE are pie in the sky. They would have to give up a first round pick and if they were going to do that this would have happened by now. No one is giving up a first, which is why this is dragging out.

That leaves quite a bit of teams then considering Seattle holds the 60th overall pick in the 2nd round. I think there's a good chance he goes somewhere besides Seattle.

No. It leaves five other teams because no one is giving up a first for him or they would have done so already. I would love it if he went to NE, but it just isn't happening. So look at the five teams with a higher second round pick and the only ones that look like legitimate possibilities are St. Louis and maybe Tampa.

If I were NE, I'd go after him for two 2nds and play him as a possession guy opposite Moss for now, draft a deep threat and a QB (QB next year or year after), and keep my offense moving without missing a beat over the next few years. Then Marshall is still there for the groomed QB when brady is done, they have a couple WRs groomed by then as well..........If I were STL, I'd grab him. If I'm taking Bradford, a guy like Marshall will help his development immensely as he'll have an actual go-to target. Plus Marshall can turn short ones into long ones with relative ease.

Seattle flip flopped 2nd round picks with San Diego in the Whithurst trade.

Hmmmmm, well then it is a crap shoot.

The $9-10 mil contract and the knucklehead factor eliminate a lot of teams regardless of pick compensation or need for a WR1.For example, no way the Glazers in Tampa shell out that money. No way. St Louis is in ownership flux and the front office isn't going to put the team on the hook for this money either when they already know they'll be opening the wallet for the #1 overall pick.Seattle has the need, the money (owner Paul Allen is disgustingly rich), the new coach and GM who want to make a splash, and to be honest Carroll has always had a loose style that condoned knuckleheads at the University of Spoiled Children. Marshall will be a Seaquack.

No. Seattle doesn't pick until the 28th spot in the 2nd round. That leaves 27 better picks, according to your exact words...

Dude, they don't have their original 2nd rounder. They swapped it with SD in that ridiculous Charlie Whitehurst trade.

I think that is the pick Seattle will get Marshall for, making the swap meaningless.

Baltimore would be a great fit for Marshall. Ray Lewis along with a strong organization would be a good bet to keep him in line. Boldin would be opposite a very strong #1 WR again so his numbers would increase. Flacco would have ridiculous options in the passing game. If they could keep hm in line it would be well worth their #1.

BA already has Boldin AND Mason. How could this be a good fit for him? Moreover, they are a run first team.

Nope, Brandon Marshall is a Miami Dolphin.
Lol I suppose. Steve Smith is great for a possession receiver and I'm pretty high on Hakeem Nicks heading into next season but I'd really like a proven #1. Obviously the trade won't happen considering we have a decent WR corps with other glaring holes like linebacker, defensive line and possibly running back if Jacobs/Bradshaw/Ware don't get it done again this season.
