More Denver Drama

When Brandon Marshall showed up to Denver's minicamp late Friday afternoon, albeit half a day late, it looked like we were going to avoid any major drama between him and the team. No such luck. Marshall showed up to camp, met with owner Pat Bowlen, left the facility carrying some boxes, and did not show up to camp Saturday.
And ... we have a potentially big problem on our hands. Marshall doesn't trust the Broncos training staff to heal his hip, and he thinks he's underpaid. I'm not going to opine how this will play out after the Jay Cutler fiasco, but a prolonged training camp holdout would be not be advantageous for Marshall. He seems very unlikely to get a new contract. We'll see if the Broncos have any interest dealing him.

I have Royal as well. As much as I believe all this stuff will sink the Broncos in the win/lose column, it could be the perfect storm for Royal.
If Marshall leaves, Royal becomes the top target in the passing. I think Mcdanials will hitch his wagon to Moreno and Royal, and build around those two. Both are good character guys I've heard. Which seems to be so damn important these days.
The Broncos have a brutal schedule, they'll be forced to pass alot.
So yeah, he's worthy of being considered "untouchable".
My biggest concern is whether the little guy can carry such a load.

Marshall seems hell bent on getting out.
I believe the reports that Denver doesn't want to trade him, but leverage or not, they may not have a choice.
