Might make some sense, not sure if this is just a rumor or if Seattle will give up that 1.14...

Seattle is considering signing the offer sheet. - Just reported on ESPN as well.

Now Schein just said that it's the 1.06 pick that is being bandied about. That changes things a bit...

That depends on how you look at it. They know Marshall is a top WR. If they want a WR at 6 and have to pay #6 money and he busts out, what is the difference between that or shipping out that pick and knowing the WR you get is great. If he screws up, it would be no different than drafting Heyward-Bey.

Could the Hawks not negotiate it to be the 14th pick instead?

Do you really think you're going to get a player better than Marshall with the 6th pick though?I think Marshall is pretty underrated around these parts. I know that he's a bit of a headcase, but he's 26 years old with three straight 100+ reception seasons under his belt. The only other WR in the league who can match his combination of youth and production is Larry Fitzgerald. No one would balk if the Seahawks traded the 1.06 for Fitzgerald. The only way this doesn't end up being a good move is if Marshall gets in serious trouble with the league.

Could be, and if they do and Denver doesn't match the trade basically shaks out to Marshall for Alphonso Smith
.Denver had better match if it's the 1.14.

I actually I really like Marshall, outside of his character issues. Seattle has SO many needs, and with the potential to draft a franchise QB, LT, DE, S, etc etc, I just don't see the value in trading away the pick. Will that player be better than Marshall immediately? Probably not. But provided they make the right choice, they could have a key franchise player for years to come. Let's not kid ourselves, Seattle isn't anywhere near being a playoff team. Use the picks to rebuild, rather than trying to slap a band-aid on things for a few years. And for what it is worth, the amount of FAs that get signed to a big contract and then stop being productive is to numerous to count, so the whole "proven commodity" doesn't hold a whole lot of weight.
Considering Denver clearly doesn't want Marshall on their squad any longer, I think Seattle could negotiate a deal with Denver that does not include the #6, and perhaps not include the #14. Remember, Seattle will have to PAY THE MAN so they're on the hook for that money if they acquire Marshall. Denver doesn't want to pay it, and Denver doesn't want the malcontent that is Marshall. If Seattle can work an agreement with Denver that they will give up next years first rounder or any deal that allows Seattle to keep the #6 and #14 this season would be GOLD!
We're doing Denver a FAVOR by taking on Marshall. And apparently no other teams are interested in doing this.

He's 26. This isn't a band-aid. It would be a 5-7 year fix at WR (ignoring possible suspensions/jail/etc.). And, it's just one pick, not multiple picks. If they had to give up multiple high picks, I'd agree with you. Hopefully they can get away with the 14 and keep the 6.

You honestly think that Marshall will be as productive as a franchise QB or LT in 5-7 years? There aren't many 31-33 year old WRs that are the foundation of a team.
dgreen
Footballguy
It's possible they don't get a franchise QB or LT with that pick. It's a lock they're getting an extremely talented, although troubled, WR.

Darrent Williams murder trial going on in Denver. Turns out Brandon Marshall instigated the altercation that led the gangsters to shoot Williams; apparently they were trying to kill Marshall. No way Marshall stays on the Broncos in 2010.
Agreed. It was doubtful before the season started, but with this news coming out there is no way he stays. The fans will ever like him.

isnt' this really old news? I haven't even followed the situation closely but I've heard that before...

It's old news that he was involved, but pretty certain it's new information that he was the actual target and the primary instigator.

Couldn't the Hawks and Denver just agree to a trade then if Seattle would only do it for the 14th pick or less?

Please please not this! Seattle needs to draft OL with their top 3 picks and build a foundation, their line is dogcrap and until they fix that all their skill players are hosed. This is like Branch 2.0 all over again.
Buffaloes
Footballguy
That's a broad brush. The guy has been a knucklehead for sure, but a lot of us fans still root for him and would like to see him remain in Denver.
dgreen
Footballguy
I think for that to happen, Denver would have to sign him and then trade him. This is different. If Seattle signs him, I believe they give up whatever the rule says they have to give up.
No way Broncos should accept that. First round only.
Are you really comparing the skill set of Brandon Marshall to Deion Branch?
Not my fellow fans or the season ticket holders I talk to.
Or something that doesn't involve EITHER pick for that matter.
Pabst Blue Ribbon

Marshall is more skilled than Branch, but like in the Branch deal they will have to give up a 1 and pay an boatload of dough for a holdout/malcontent that no one else is that interested in taking on.
RiceMossTOHarrisonWayneWard85MasonDriverHoltSteve SmithMarshall has the talent to be like these guys if he keeps his nose clean.
Why? No other teams are supposedly interested in dealing for the guy. They basically INVITED teams to come and take him away by putting only a 1st rd tender on him. They won't pay him the big money. He and McDaniels obviously don't get along. I'm also hearing that Denver doesn't want to PAY the money it would take to sign the #6 pick as well.I don't know. I'd do it if it was the #14, no brainer. But I'd crap myself if the deal gets done without Seattle giving up either 1st rounder (this season).

Hate to break it to you, but very few of those guys are as important to their team as a QB or a LT. As for Marshall being a guaranteed lock to remain as productive as he is right now, that is just foolish.
Coming from who? The same guy that said no team was interested in him only to have to redact his story 30 minutes later?The rest is unsubstantiated rumors.
Buffaloes
Footballguy
Right, well I'm just saying there are plenty of us Bronco fans and some season ticket holders who still would like to see him stay. I don't think it's a consensus.
Yeah, true - we shall see.

even if that's the case, I don't see how that changes anything. So your drunk on New Years and pick a fight and some thugs open fire with automatic weapons. No matter what he did or didn't do, it doesn't warrant that kind of response so I don't see why it would change anyones perception of the murder.rascal said:

If Seattle wants to add a veteran WR, why don't they make a run at Boldin? Hurts a division rival, costs less and the guy already has a contract for 2010.
FavreCo

He would be a waste of money. The 'Hawks are not close enough to be SB competitive to use $ on a 30 year old WR.

Everybody here understands the thugs deserve what the get for killing D. Williams. The point is that if Brandon Marshall had more self control Williams would probably still be alive.
Perfect. Next time you are in the UK, allow me to buy you a beerCurry was a stupid pick last year - should have been a OL. Must be this year now that the office knows what we already knew that Walter is finitoI want a tackle at 6 not 14, we can find a punk receiver elsewhereMarshall makes a win-win in ChicagoPabst Blue Ribbon said:
