"3. Brandon Marshall, Bears: Marshall's $7.5 million salary becomes fully guaranteed if he's on the roster by the third day of the league year -- March 12. He received no assurances about his future after meeting with the new regime. Marshall turns 31 next month and is coming off a disappointing season. Perhaps more importantly, the recent scuttlebutt out of Chicago is that his behavior rankled teammates and coaches last year. The rumor mill has connected the veteran receiver to former coordinator Marc Trestman, who landed in Baltimore."

I didn't say which Smith for a reason, because I'm not sure which will get the boot. (if either) I would imagine a Marshall/T. Smith combo would be quite effective. However, it depends on how highly Torrey thinks of Torrey. Just a little heads up for those lobbying for him to come to Carolina.

Also, this could be why they are pushing Smitty to reconsider playing again. It just looks like one may not be back. Something to keep an eye on in the coming weeks.

I don't see why they couldn't just move smitty to the slot no sense in forcing him to retire. Marshall/T. Smith on outside with smitty in the slot is about as good as you can ask for

Depends on the contracts of Marshall and Torrey. I'm not saying they would for sure let either go. I'm just saying it is a possibility if they can't come to terms. If they really wanted Marshall, and Torrey was asking for too much, he could be let go. And yes, the WR set would be great. Not saying anyone WILL get the boot, just that Marshall being in the mix could change the leverage. IMO. Just something to keep an eye out for.

Yeah, #89 has always been happy to take on a non-glamour role in any offense he participated in.

Man reason is because they know that they have to get younger and Steve doesn't allow them to do that.

He has said many times he'd love to just play in the slot but every season it seems he out plays that role and is forced to go back outside. I think he'd be ok with it especially if it meant prolonging his career just a little bit

sorry smitty..

if you're this age and your literally just trying to pad your stats just to have a chance to get in..

..maybe you don't deserve to to get in

I'm sure winning a super bowl is higher on his list.

And btw with all the sh*t he's had to deal with while playing here and he still has the numbers he does he most definitely deserves to get in

      Dan Morgan on the Rich Eisen show

      Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.

      Well, seeing as we play the Lions at home this year, pretty sure that rumor isn't true.

      Totally possible imo, I also caught that snippet from Morgan where he said “If” we sign him. The lack of competition says otherwise tho 🤷‍♂️
