Denver Broncos Tickets - Where Will Marshall Play?
This offseason has been a strange one for the Denver Broncos. Many were surprised when they decided to fire longtime coach Mike Shanahan. They replaced him with the young Josh McDaniels from the New England Patriots. Fans may have been excited about him from the get go, but when he let it leak that he was trying to deal Pro Bowl quarterback Jay Cutler for former Patriots quarterback Matt Cassel, he showed his rookie colors.
Not only did the deal with Cassel not work out, Cutler was miffed that he wasn't part of McDaniels' offensive plan. He was eventually traded to the Chicago Bears, and now former Bear Kyle Orton has been named their starting quarterback. McDaniels now has another headache on his hands as it is being reported that wide receiver Brandon Marshall is asking for a trade and hasn't shown up to any workouts. There are many places Marshall could end up, but a few look a little more promising.
Denver Broncos: Brandon Marshall has been with the Broncos since he entered the league in 2006. Last season, he tallied 104 receptions, 1,265 yards and six touchdowns. Marshall's talent has been key to the stats of Cutler last season, and Orton surely would like a target like Marshall. Unlike the Cutler situation, it makes little sense to get rid of Marshall as he isn't in a position to make many demands. If they want to keep him and keep him happy, all they need to do is offer him more money. The Broncos did just sign wide receiver Brandon Lloyd, however, meaning their need for Marshall isn't quite as acute as it was before.
Cleveland Browns: There have already been rumors that the Cleveland Browns have a trade for Marshall in the works. The Browns have wide receiver Braylon Edwards, who is already a top name on the team. Marshall's run-ins with the law are similar to ones the Browns already have to deal with because of other players, and they will likely be hesitant to add another questionable player.
Chicago Bears: With Marshall's talent and his history of working with Jay Cutler, it may seem logical that the Bears chase after Marshall should he go on the market. Right now, the top receivers on the Bears team are Devin Hester and Earl Bennett, and Brandon Rideau and Rashied Davis are also impressive. Analysts have guessed that the Bears would add a veteran, but Bears from Cutler to coach Lovie Smith have expressed the readiness to go forward with their current WR corps. Also, with the major picks they gave up to get Cutler, they have little bargaining power left.
Baltimore Ravens: The Ravens may not seem to need a new receiver with Derrick Mason, Mark Clayton, Demetrius Williams and Marcus Smith, but three of those have already been struggling with injuries this offseason. Quarterback Joe Flacco will likely do well with the current receivers, but adding a proven receiver like Marshall definitely wouldn't hurt the team.
New York Jets: The Jets were the most vocal suitors of wide receiver Plaxico Burress before he ran into another legal snag, meaning they aren't afraid of a player with baggage. The Jets have also gone through a reshuffle this offseason, so they are definitely open to new talent.
Other teams are being tossed around as possible homes for Marshall from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to the New York Giants and Minnesota Vikings. See some great mile-high football this season with or without Marshall by getting Denver Broncos tickets online.
