| Broncos Unlikely To Sign WR Brandon Marshall Long Term? | | |
With wide receiver Brandon Marshall stuck in the purgatory of restricted free agency, the Broncos could tender him at the highest level, requiring compensation of first- and third-round draft choices from any team that signs him, which could force Marshall to play with Denver in 2010 at a salary slightly in excess of $3 million if no team signs him, still well below his market value. The Broncos on the other hand, with coach Josh McDaniels and owner Pat Bowlen wanting Marshall back, could attempt to bridge the gap by offering Marshall a one-year, market-value deal. The top 15 cap numbers for wideouts last season ranged from $6.4 million to $10.9 million which Marshall would no doubt prefer, but with a lockout looming in 2011, many teams may be reluctant to offer financial commitments beyond the coming season and a one-year, market- value deal would let the Broncos see if Marshall could remain drama-free in the absence of a contract dispute.
