Brandon Marshal

If the Panthers are looking a number two reciever behind Steve Smith. Why are they not going after Brandon Marshal ? They have been looking a number 2 for about what 5 years now. WTF. This Franchise just will not pay the big money. " we will see how long Stewart and Williams stays.

hopefully Marshall doesn't get a 1st round offer this year and we get him with next years.. or a 2nd and add another..

Marshall will require a big contract. #1 receivers will do that. Since we are in need of a #1 receiver, I don't follow the logic on how we will get around this besides paying for mediocre talent and great character...

plus, he's killed a few people...

Bottem line is that it takes quite a while to develop a great reciever, even Steve Smith. There is a top 5 reciever available in Marshall and he is worth a 1st round pick. At least a 2nd and 3rd. Why waist 2 years developing a receiver that may or may not prodice(In Carolina's case never produces) when you can have one right now?

End of Line.

broncos have said that they don't want anything less than a top 20 pick in this years draft. not sure we can even trade up to that without giving up quite a few picks.

for more discussion....just find one of the other threads on this dead horse topic.

dont get me wrong, I'd love to have Marshall play for the Panthers. BUT, character issues, money(which paying him huge money right before the possible lockout would and will be a very dumb idea), and as a rookie develops this season, we can sign a FA WR next year AND Jarrett is a FA. there are many good young recievers that are already developed enough to be a #2/#1 WR in the future in FA next year...like James Jones who in my opinion is going to be a great WR.

EDIT: another thing, Sidney Rice is a FA next year. I believe he will sign a long term contract with the Vikings, which would put Bernard Berrian on the trade block. Berrian could possibly be had for a 4th round pick.

not really!!!

I still think Marshall will be a Seahawk. The Holmes deal to the Jets will help that along as well. Denver will fold between tonight and next Thursday and there's no way they get a first for him

    • Bingo. The dude is a baller no doubt and I'd love to have him in a vacuum but like you said he's gonna fetch a haul so the only teams it really makes sense for are teams with an overall good roster who they feel an edge rusher like Crosby would out them over the top in terms of competing for SBs. I'd be looking st teams like the Pats, Bucs, Ravens, Seahawks, etc. It wouldn't be shocking to see him moved. He may be more valuable to a rebuilding team in the form of the draft assets he'd fetch than he is on the field. He should still have several more good years in the tank at 28 but by the time the Raiders can reasonably expect to rebuild he's gonna be on the decline.
    • Crosby will garner a haul in a trade. I would be reluctant to make that trade because of the following: 1. Our overall roster is awful. We cannot afford to be trading away valuable draft capital. 2. He isn't the best fit(IMO) for the scheme that Evero runs.  I love the player but it would really need to be at a reasonable deal and I think he is likely to garner an unreasonable price if he gets traded.
    • In terms of need, EDGE is currently #1. Our pass rush is near league worst levels. However, I don't subscribe to "need" based drafting. BPA all day.  We do need to dramatically upgrade over Scourton, Jones, Wonnum and Umanmielen. That is likely in the running for the NFL's worst two deep. Not saying all those players are bad, but I am saying 100% of those players are 2nd or 3rd stringers.
