Brandon Marshall Wants Out of Denver

First Jay Cutler, now Brandon Marshall.

Yes the often-arrested receiver wants out of Denver. But unlike Cutler, who was upset the team used him as trade bait, Marshall is upset about his contract and how the team handled his hip surgery.

"The Pro Bowl wideout, upset about his contract and the Broncos’ treatment of a hip injury that required surgery in late March, seems to be following the Jay Cutler Highway out of town. He also appears to be taking a page from the departed franchise quarterback’s playbook: Disregard the authority of new coach Josh McDaniels, stay away from the facility and wait for owner Pat Bowlen to sign off on a trade. (Denver’s KOA radio reported Monday that Marshall asked to be dealt during a private meeting with Bowlen on Friday.)"
Which brings the question, who wants a receiver who can't stay out of trouble? And who would want a head case like Marshall? Well there are some teams in the NFL willing to take a chance.

Philadelphia- He would go great along side Jeremy Maclin and DeShaun Jackson. This is a doubtful situation because the Eagles probably don't want to mess with another T.O.-type headcase.

San Francisco- Marshall along with Michael Crabtree would make either Alex Smith or Shaun Hill happy. Also doubtful because if this team doesn't want to mess with Ron Mexico, they wouldn't want to mess with Marshall.

Baltimore- Certainly Joe Flacco would be happy. I could see him landing in Baltimore because Ray Lewis would be able to straighten out Marshall.

NY Jets- This is only a possibility if the Jets can't land Plaxico. Plus with a disciplinary coach like Rex Ryan, I could see a clash right there.

Wild Card- This is the most likely option. Jay Cutler being shipped to the Bears was certainly a shock. For some reason I can already see Jerry Jones or Daniel Snyder on the phone making an offer for Marshall.

Whoever deals for this guy will be handed a headache because of little arrests like this.

  1. I wouldn't want Marshall in Philly. Plus Reid would never trade for a player like Marshall after the T.O. disaster.

  2. I agree with Jay. The Eagles are fine at WR and they would not take a chance on a guy like Marshall.
