Before everyone jumps on this guy, his salary this year is 500,000. To quote chris rock "not saying that I believe OJ, but I understand"

You don't like the contract, you shouldn't have signed it. Teams don't get a do-over when they sign a player to a bad contract. (Safety Roy Williams)

Next question.

Check out the new Bang Cartoon "Preseason Update", it has Marshall, Michael Crabtree, Favre, the Eagles fans, and Jerry. Funny stuff.

Just shut your mouth, play out your rookie contract and then get paid. Dude wants a new contract after his 3rd year in the NFL. Didn't hear Ware wanting a New contract after year 3, did you?

I'm not going to get into a long convo about this, but teams do it all the time. Unless the money is guarenteed, the teams hold all the cards, and they cut players right and left, regardless of the contract. I promise you, Jerry would have tossed this guy a couple of million for this year and that would have been the end of it.

Roy would have been gone a year or two ago if Jerry could have voided his contract. That wasn't the case. Roy was collecting a lot more money than he was worth.

Yes they do. All the time. Ask Roy about the $4.4 million he was due in 2009.

Ask Jerry if he honored the remainder of his contract out of kindness.

The NFL is a business. Players hold out to re-do their deals. Teams cut players with non-guaranteed contracts if the numbers no longer make sense.

I thought he wanted out because Cutler was no longer there nothing about the contract from what I thought.

Different argument. You don't believe he was worth the deal that was signed. That has nothing to due with a team getting a "do-over" if they no longer like the deal.

Seems like McDaniels is a major problem, considering Marshall isnt the only player wiht issues with him, and Brandon is using any way possible(even immature, stupid ones) to remove himself from the current situation.

You guys make it sound like he is the devil. This is a business.

How old is he anyways, 24?

Anyone else in here do stupid **** when they were in the early twenties and should have known better?

Do you know what guaranteed money is? You don't seem to be grasping the concept here. That is what was applied to Roy Williams contract and why Jerry didn't cut him.

So you think Marshall should get a do-over because he thinks he is worth more than $500k a year? :bang2:

There are lots of reason why Marshall doesn't want ot be there. Josh, money, his QB, etc.

If that's the case why are you saying that money is the only reason he's acting like this and he's a POS because he isn't willing to play out his contract?

I was responding to someone else. He said that Marshall didn't like his contract, and I responded with that. Money isn't the only reason he doesn't want to be in Denver.

That is a load of BS, the you signed the contract is a load of crap perpetrated by owners to get fan support. The NFL is set up so if you dont perform you get cut from your contract, so if you do OUT perform you have the right to hold out or ask for a new contract. The guy is a top 5 WR in the league the last 2 years and is getting paid pennies.

I dont agree with how he handled the situation, but the Broncos should of made a decision to pay him or move on.

+1...Yeah, it's an odd business in professional sports...It can heavily favor the owners most times and the same rules of fair business laws don't apply (Monopoly exemption I guess)...In the business world, Marshall could simply give his notice and find work somewhere else but we all know how that goes.

Gotta wonder how Bowlen is running things...First the Cutler fiasco and now Marshall...Neither reflected good managerial decisions, IMHO

I apologize for wanting him on the Dallas Cowboys last night. I never saw that video where he punted the ball after a drill and batted down balls like he was throwing a tantrum. I don't want him. I apologize.
