Does he still get paid?

I think he will be traded but I think the Broncos keep him and don't pay him. The video of Marshall in practice shows how stupid Marshall is. No team will trade for him now.

Sooner or later, someone will pay him very close to what he wants.

I read that post like a line from Three Amigos.

Newest tweets say he is suspended for the rest of the preseason, if he behaves, back for week 1.

Maybe I won't draft that felon. OMG LOL what a loser. I use the 'teenager jargon' here b/c Brandon is acting like a 13 year old who got grounded. Who takes a chance on him and what does he want exactly?

Isn't this like grounding a kid to their room for spending too much time on the internet? Players hate preseason.

No kidding. He is probably thinking, #### I wasn't playin' in preseason anyway.........

Seems justified.
Marshall has a contract to play this season and he's acting like a turd. If the Broncos receive a good offer they should take it. However, I'm not sure why any other team would offer anything close to market value in trade.

He was an RFA in my main league and I have to match the bid on him today if I want to keep him.

The interesting thing about this is that Denver only suspended him for the preseason. To me, that sends a very clear message:
"Your behavior is terrible but we can't afford to lose you for the regular season. We're going to do as much as we can to see if we can make this work for week 1 because we really can't afford to lose a player of your caliber".
If they were really serious and wanted to teach him a lesson no matter what the consequences, they'd suspend him weeks 1-4 and give him a wake-up call.

Might want to change the thread title to just preseason.

Can he practice?

It's titled as it's reported. He's DEFINITELY suspended through the preseason. He's suspended beyond that as of now. He COULD be reinstated for week 1 but he's not as of yet.

Talk about a slap on the wrist.ETA: But it might be the best move. If Marshall can get it together (very questionable, obviously), he could really help the offense.

Double coverage baby
I am not condoning behavior like Marshall's, but I think if the Cards moved Boldin in the offseason it would have set a positive example of how both parties could work together to make something good happen. Instead, Boldin, who took the high road, is still unhappy and the guys who act like jerks end up being the ones who get what they want (think squeeky wheel). Now, Marshall felt because he did not get his trade request, he has to act like a baby to get what he wants. This hurts his trade value, so in the end, the Broncos end up being the loser as his value on the market has fallen from where it would have been if they granted his request initially.
Personally, I think these guys sign a contract, they should live up to it. On the flip side, teams can break these contracts at will, which is why we have situations like this. I am waiting for the day where a player signs consecutive 1 year guaranteed contracts for his career. he and the team would be able to have so much more flexibility, but until someone does it (1) without a catastrophic injury (2), these Marshall situations will be a yearly occurance.

Why let Pat Bowlen off the hook? He could have paid both Cutler and Marshall what they wanted from the get go and all would be forgotten. This is a management decision not just a coaching decision.

Seems to me that when you lose your franchise quarterback and the only other offensive threat keeping coverage off you, your production goes way down, not up.

Add in these two facts:1) Denver has one of the hardest pass schedules in the NFL this year.2) If Marshall is out, Royal may get the #1 stud corners at Oakland (Asomugha) and San Diego.Sammy B said:Sebowski said:

Um, I didn't realize that ESPN became the authority on news. I'm listening to various interviews and the word that keeps being used is indefinitely and that it's very possible and some think likely that this gets extended into the regular season. Until that's clarified, "indefinitely" is appropriate as there is no definitive timeline given as to when the suspension will be lifted.If you have an issue with it, report it to the mods and they can change it if they see fit.Doctor Detroit said:

What an idiot!!
I was squarely in Cutler's corner when his whole thing went down. But Marshall is just cutting off his nose to spite his face here. I firmly believe they would have traded him if he would have shown up and done something/anything, but he has no value now.
I mean they are probably getting 2nd round (at best) offers for him, when the Broncos want a 1st and a 4th. Oh well, my Broncos are going to be 3-13 with or without him, so what does it matter??
