A Marshall move wouldn't be devastating

Brandon Marshall wants out. He thinks he's getting out too, after meeting with Pat Bowlen. A lot of NFL observers believe Marshall won't go anywhere, and that's my guess as well. Denver has him under contract for at least one more year, two under the current collective bargaining agreement.
Will another team give up the necessary price (a first-rounder to start) to acquire someone coming off hip surgery that is one slip-up away from a long league suspension?
While the Broncos won't just give Marshall away, but the only reason a trade is possible is that NFL teams see the same thing we do on Sundays: the kid is a beast, and someone may think they can turn his life around.
Of course, I didn't think Jay Cutler would get moved either, and look what happened.
The main difference in this situation is that Marshall's fantasy value won't be too effected by a move. The teams mentioned as possibilities (Baltimore, Cleveland, Tampa, Chicago) don't have great passing attacks, but neither does Denver. More than anything, Marshall's move would hurt Kyle Orton and possibly help get Eddie Royal more targets.





Comments
Cutler did say he would like to have Marshall in Chicago. "I played with Brandon for three years and I think he's one of the best receivers in the NFL," Cutler said. "I think he can be one of the greatest ever to play. He's big and fast, and can do everything you want him to do, on the field and in the meeting room. I don't know what we're going to do. That's up to the guys upstairs. If we make a run at him, we make a run at him."
