(KFFL) Mike Klis, of The Denver Post, reports the Denver Broncos are expected to trade WR Brandon Marshall soon after March 5, when NFL's trading and free-agency period starts.

Hmmm....
 
pretty sure this was well known. good luck to denver getting max value for this dude. He's a first class knuckle head, a knuckle head with talent though

 
There was actually talk of a contract extension near the end of the season. There have been rumblings and speculation, but this seems a little more concrete (although no official sources named).

 
I would take a risk on a guy who catches 100 passes a year every day of the week.

Also someone will beg for 100/1200/10, so it wont be hard to get the highest tender of a 1st and a 3rd.

Some one could trade for him for much cheaper.

 
So what do you guys think Denver will be able to get for him?

-QG (who has a Bengals fan is just a neutral observer on all this of course :moneybag: )

 
I don't think Marshall is known as a knucklehead in the NFL to be honest. He changed his tune and became a team player early mid-season. His teammates never said a bad word about him, it was only his egotistical coach. McDaniels has run every player with special talents out of Denver.. Cutler (check), Marshall (check), who's next, Champ Bailey?

 
I wouldn't be surprised if the Jets offered some of their remaining draft picks and a guy like Lito Sheppard. I believe the Jets were inquiring about his availability before they traded for Edwards which I believe is a FA this year? I'd gladly throw hiim a guy like Brad Smith, Lito Sheppard, or whats left of our draft picks.

 
The whole thing with Marshall getting benched at the end of the year actually was brought on by his teamates. I heard that A bunch of the veteran players including Champ Bailey and Brian Dawkins went to McDaniels and asked that he be benched. McDaniels can't be blamed for everything. Actually today Brian Dawkins came out in the media and said that he fully supports McDaniels and any move he makes.

People need to give McDaniels a chance to get the players he wants in place to run his system. It was just his first year and I don't think 8-8 is bad considering the lack of talent in key areas on offense and defense.

 
So whats this do to his numbers? Guess it depends where he goes but in Denver he was force fed the ball. Wasn't he very near the top for catches that didn't help the team last year?

:popcorn: That is a complete distortion of the truth. Those vets went to McDaniels on Monday and asked them to hold everyone accountable for the upcoming game. Marshall didn't pull his crap at practice until two days later, so they did that days before Marshall did what caused him to be benched.

Sorry about that, you are correct. I just went back and re-read the article.

I'm sure Lito Sheppard and a mid-level draft pick would be oh so enticing to the Broncos. Wait, maybe not.
 
Being that the Jets/Tannanbaum/Mangini accused the Patriots/Belichick and by extension McDaniels of cheating I 'm not sure the Bronco's would deal with them unless they were willing to overpay.

 
I'm sure Chicago would love to get there hands on him but

IMO Cleveland is actually the best suitor for him

Have a couple of extra picks, needs a #1 wr

Has an offensive minded man in charge now in Holgrem

Your overreaction is as bad as his. In a way, it WAS brought on by the veterans. So what if it was before; they asked for it. The bigger point here is that he (BM) screwed up, AGAIN. Who's fault was that? It's now McDaniels' fault? If JM didn't do anything, then he's not listening to his vets and/or not backing up his word. Or, he's soft/afraid and has no control. Or... Look, he was damned, no matter what decision he made. There's just too many that really want to see him fail, for some reason. It's kind of funny. Myself, I'll wait and see...

That might be, but the point is that the vets did not go to McDaniels and say, "Bench Marshall," or anyone like that. What they were saying was, with a playoff spot potentially on the line, he had to draw a line in the sand and hold everyone accountable. If Marshall failed the test, that is on him, but the vets went to McDaniels before Marshall "hurt" himself. Oh, and judging by the play of the team vs. the Chiefs, I would say McDaniels did a horrible job of holding everyone accountable and getting the team ready to play for that week 17 game.

No, the point is, leaders on the team asked their coach to hold teammates accountable. And he did.That is nowhere near a "complete distortion of the truth", as you stated. You just wish Marshall would've been given a free pass; your bias is glaring.

:thumbup: You could not be more wrong. I was simply disputing the post that said the vets directly asked McDaniels to bench/discipline Marshall specifically. The time line clearly shows this not to be the case. As for giving Marshall a free pass, uh, no. I said here about a year ago that the Broncos should trade Marshall then, as he showed that he is an idiot who is likely to get himself suspended again, probably sooner rather than later, and I figured the team should get what they could for him while he still had some trade value, so your assertion that I suddenly want to give him a free pass is dead wrong. In this scenario, there is no good guy, as far as I am concerned. Marshall is a super talented idiot, and McDaniels is an unproven coach on a power trip.

Okay, so what would you have done? This, assuming we know anything about any of this stuff, which we don't. I wonder how many Marshall incidents we've never hear about. Had to be others. I mean, maybe the vets were addressing Marshall for the most part, who knows...The guy was in a no-win situation. If you like him, you see his point. If you don't, you jump on the "too young and cocky" thing. That's too easy. And it's ignorant to think we know everything that goes on.

Look, I don't like how he comes off either, but it is way too early to judge what kind of coach he is. We'll find out soon enough. He was the laughing stalk 6 months ago, then a hero 3 months later. Now, because he's tossing the ZB and is looking to trade another cancer, he's an idiot again -- at least in the mind of FFers.

As a Bronco fan, so would I. They gave a 1st and a 3rd for Roy Williams. I'd love to see what a true #1 WR would pull from them.

The Bears are the obvious answer. Cutler wants to throw all day and has proven chemistry with Marshall.

Only problem is the bears having nothing to offer for him!

We'll give you Hester.

Hester and a third, gogogogogogo
 
He needs a strong QB that can keep him in check. Cutler was trying; remember when he made Marshall move in with him so he could be a positive influence on him? I'm not sure how many temper tantrums Marshall had to witness during that time though haha. My point is that a QB like Brees with Shockey or Brady with Moss can make a difference and help a player focus and unlock their potential.

If McDaniels is smart he ships Marshall off to a team with a young or rookie QB because there will be a much higher chance of failure without a strong team leader at QB. Hopefully that doesn't happen but only time will tell.

 
This CBA business makes the Ravens a tough trading partner.

Because of the likelihood of an uncapped year with the collective bargaining agreement talks reportedly not going well, the Ravens could be severely restricted in their ability to bolster their receiving corps through free agency.

As one of the final eight playoff teams, the Ravens would be unable to sign an unrestricted free agent until they lose one of their own unrestricted free agents. Plus, the team can’t sign that player for more money than the free agent it loses.

The Ravens would be allowed to sign just one player with a salary of $4.925 million or higher. They would be allowed to sign players with a first-year compensation level of $3.2 million that can’t climb any more than 30 percent in the subsequent years.

Signing a restricted free agent wide receiver like the Denver Broncos’ Brandon Marshall and the San Diego Chargers’ Vincent Jackson or trading for the Arizona Cardinals’ Anquan Boldin looks unlikely.

How many other players got benched? It is pretty easy to read between the lines on this and see who the players meant. That he confirmed their doubts 2 days later only enforces it.

How exactly do you know he didn't injure his hammy? As far as I can tell you pretty much suck down whatever Bull comes out of Camp McFail.
