Marshall's Worth

if other teams will look at Marshall’s work ethic when considering value.

If I’m not mistaken, since being drafted, he has yet to show more than minimal participation in OTA’s and Training Camp. His response of laughing off missed training time because he sees it as just camp, makes me wonder if he’s willing to put in the effort to take his play to the next level.

If I were a coach (something I’ve never done other than coaching college intramurals), his attitude towards the off-season would be a huge issue.

but no matter the system, recievers run routes and catch passes. He has to know what is called and if the QB changes it at the line of scrimmage. There should be no signicant difference once the terminology is known and he understands what it is that he is supposed to do.

But any system takes work and dedication to make a difference.

I thought the Jets were running a WC offense, at least last year.

Does anyone know hoe much he got paid that first year for those 20 catches?

The trouble with most contracts for rookies is that they are weighted to put the guaranteed money in the first few years, and then pay less on the back side. So when you are discussing his pay this year, it misses the point of the value of the whole contract. I doubt that he gave any money back in the first year because he was paid more than what he produced. Just a thought.

All of the participants are backing up the Broncos on their decisions thus far in regards to BMarsh.

Woody didn’t make it to the second round of discussion. It would have been interesting to hear his side of things.

Jay Marriotti just labeled BMarsh as the biggest trouble maker in the game………dubious distinction, no?

because of the research and solutions offered. This is not unreasonable. I don’t have an opinion on whether Marshall can be better or worse. I am just ready for him to go. Good Job Dcrespo.

Blockquoted paragraph This is clearly a means of ensuring Marshall what Denver’s evaluation would be of his talent combined with his potential given his short body of work in the NFL. I also think its fair to say that if the deal falls apart, the agent will know that it was a fair approach on Denver’s side to accommodate Marshall’s attempt at a trade.

If what deal falls apart? It’s not really of importance what Denver would like to get out of a Marshall trade.

A team could likely get an Anquan Boldin for the draft picks you suggest. They’d surely not make Marshall their first choice of all the troubled/diva receivers who are either on the market or who want to be. Brandon’s really pretty worthless to Denver and to other teams until he changes his attitude, applies himself, proves his hip is good, and stays out of jailhouses and court rooms for a few months.

just how realistic it is to say that Marshall could get a better deal from many other teams, when only 1 team (the Jets) has been mentioned as being interested in him?

Marshall will be comparable to Randy Moss. I think he fits the offense and that it would be better with him but he will no longer lead the team in receptions.

I was looking over the Jets’ roster and it’s difficult for me to come up with anyone that would add value to our team. I would take Brandon Marshall for Bart Scott, but I doubt that would be too inequitable to go down.

In the end, I think a good trading partner might be the Jacksonville Jaguars. For starters, their receiving corps ranks in the bottom third of the league. Jag reciever Mike Walker is reported to be Brandon Marshall’s best friend and they played together at UCF. And I think Brandon would be going home.

I just don’t know who the Jags would be willing to give us. I’d love to trade Marshall plus someone to Jacksonville for John Henderson, but I just don’t know how realistic that is. They drafted Terrence Knighton from Temple, maybe they’re grooming him to be Hendu’s replacement.

I don’t know if the Broncos want any more first rounders (if they could get any for Marshall), so I’m not convinced they’d trade him for picks. I think it’d be a player swap.
