Broncos WR Brandon Marshall Asked Owner For A Trade?

[Johnny Rockets]

That, or the shadow of Bill Bellichick?

or both......

just trying to make his own name which I can't blame him. They are two big shadows to be under.

Know who else has a big shadow?....Andy Reid but not quite in the same way.

Me? I'm McDaniels indifferent. I'm generally in favor of not putting up with BS from selfish players, but I'm also not convinced that McDaniels has what it takes to be a head coach as opposed to just an OC. This, I'm in "wait and see" mode.

Yeah anyone with common sense should be in "wait and see" mode.

Obviously, he has made a few rookie mistakes in handling of the press around the whole Cutler thing.

I think he wasn't quite ready to be a HC yet, and I thought the same of Mangini. I THINK he will do better than Mangini once their careers are further along, but I wouldn't stake anything on that.

I don't mind him getting rid of Cutler, I think that trade will work out in the end better for the Broncos. Although I did not LOVE their draft this year, they have an extra first next year as well.

IIRC, Marshall is in the last year of his contract, and maybe wanting an extension, and knows that he may not get one in Denver, because of off field stuff.

Though I don't like Cutler, I have to admit he has a helluvan arm. He may make some poor decisions but that arm is solid. McDaniels may have made a big mistake on the way he handled that one. Now he's making another mistake with Marshall, but Marshall is definitely a problem with ongoing domestic violence issues...

They've agreed to trade according to an article.

“Yes there was a meeting between Brandon, and Mr. Bowlen. There was a request for a trade. Mr. Bowlen has said that ownership will do everything in it’s power to accommodate his wishes,” said Marshall’s agent Kennard McGuire to Fox31 Sports’ Josina Anderson Tuesday morning

Update: The Ravens are seriously looking into the background of Marshall to possibly propose a trade. Apparently the going rate for Brandon is a 1st and a 3rd round draft pick.

They traded there pick next year for Smith in the second round this year, so the only first round pick they have left is the Bears pick from the Cutler trade.

The Denver Broncos weren’t expected to be on the clock when they selected DB Alphonso Smith early in the second round. But they saw something in the 5′9″, 193 lb. cornerback that made them trade their natural 2010 first round draft pick (not the Chicago Bears‘ pick they received in the Jay Cutler trade) to get him.

Marshall's farewell to Bronco fans

i think they traded that first next year to move up in the draft to get a CB.

I guess this makes the Charger Fans happy, Who else is there to challenge them in that division??????? Baring a major injury the chargers are going to win 12-13 games and dominate that division.

[LelouchBritannia]

Wow. I understand the "wait and see" approach, but does anyone seriously think the broncos can do well this year? They had no defense.They're trading away the only thing that won them 8 games last year; the offense, wasted a draft pick on a rb which they had 7-8 solid candidates, hired a first year coach from Bill Belichik, which not a single one of his assistants have done well without Spygate Bill. Plus they gave up their first round pick from next year(which has a high probability to be a top 10 pick in a very deep draft) to get a DB in the second round....

Thank god he isnt in carolina.

They do play the NFC East, AFC North and the Dolphins and Titans besides their own crappy division but division games can go either way. 10 wins tops(2 more than last season).

He's a prick and I wouldn't want him on my team. He still has room to become a bust...see for example Peerless Price & Javon Walker who went to other teams after a few solid years and did absolutely nothing.

I have always liked the Denver Broncos but the players that have gone through them the last couple years makes me doubt their approach to building a team.

Please note the 6 losses that you see coming down the pipeline for them.

I see them probably winning 12 games this season, and making some noise in the playoffs like they have the last two years.

I see 7 wins in the division, A split with the raiders for some reason. and then 5 of 8 out of the rest is entirely feasible and I just don't see 6 losses on the schedule.

Unless Mcdaniels is more of a genius then we think he is, and the Bronco's have a good squad next year.
