Brandon Marshall tendered for a 1st rounder

[SLATEmosphere]

he's had the cops called on him by girlfriends like 13 times .

Really? well I dont know the story on him and if that's even true. I'm just saying there's woman out there that do this for a living. Latch on to athletes and collect paychecks.

 

[Hoofbite]

we already have too much money tied up at wr when you include what Miles is gonna get.

but Denver knows what they're doing cause someone will most likely give up a #1 for him.

Kind of what I was thinking as well. Baiting someone to take their problem child.

I know, I just don't think that's the case here.

I have some issue with his attitude, but he is pretty amazing as a WR.

As for the calls regarding domestic abuse....NONE involved him hitting a girl and the one where he ever got arrested for was the one when his girlfriend (who made basically all of the call, so not 11 different people) called a cab and he stood in front of the cab preventing her from leaving. Howver, later this girl came back and said there was abuse, but she'd shut up for a price.

There have been 11 calls to the cops from his address and none invoilved him hitting anyone. Several had nothing to do with him. It seems he had a live in gf who called the cops about anything and everything...even cars parked on the lawn, etc. But the records showed the calls coming from Marshall's addrees so the story got out in the Denver press and beyond.

The one incident that was a bit suspicious was the call to the cops that led to him being taken in in 2009. It was over an argument with his now fiancee...charges were dropped the next day.

The guy does seem to be around trouble a lot--recall that a guy got shot to death while leaving party in a limo with him.

But as for him beating women....no evidence of that other than what the papers drummed up from what I can see....but it does seem suspicious, but recall that lady who did say he was abusive also tried to get 500k from him and changed her story repeatedly.

I'm fine with or without him.

1st round tender


no 3rd.

In light of this, do you make an attempt to take him? It seems the Broncos are eager to part with him and a moderate deal + the first rounder would get him out of Denver and in a Dallas uniform.

Please tell me this was the one post you do every day so we can rest knowing that another one is not on it's way.

I just need to ask, were you serious? Would you really part ways with our first round pick for him?

There was a topic that went around 15 pages a few weeks back about trading RW and a 1st for Marshall, so when the news that he was tendered for only a 1st was announced of course I made a thread!


Would I do it? no but I would send Williams and a 2nd too Denver for Marshall.

I'd like to send Free and a 4th to Cleveland for Joe Thomas.

And then lets send Ken Hamlin and a 7th to Pittsburgh for Troy Palamalu

The guy is a phenomenal talent. Remember when he practically beat us himself with that incredible RAC where he scored the winning TD last season? He's had over 100 catches each of the past 3 seasons. I would have to put him in the top 5 WRs in the league.

Having said that, he's had two head coaches, and both tried to get rid of him. By the end Shanahan's last season with Denver, and despite BM catching over 100 balls for the second season in a row, it is believed the coach wanted him gone. We all know about the problems he's had with current HC Josh McDaniels. First they fight, then they make up, then they fight...yada-yada.

If we didn't need OL & FS help so badly, I would almost be willing to go for it. He's THAT good! But, NOBODY is worth the kind of headaches a guy like that brings. As was stated earlier, we just got rid of one of those guys.

 

[TellerMorrow34]

Nope I wouldnt. We're about to have to pay Miles big time money and Roy already gets big time money. Why in the world would we bring in a 3rd WR to pay big time money to?

The guy brings issues why give up a first rounder for a player who's pulling some of the same crap TO did? Marshall appears to be even more of a headache than TO because he's had some off the field issues. Great player but he comes with baggage.

He doesn't pull any of the crap TO does. He only had beef with a Broncos organization that refused to pay him. He never had issues with players as far as I know. He seems to be regarded as a team player.

All hell broke loose with TO in Philly over money. Marshall's pulling the same crap! TO hasn't had issues with players as far as I'm aware of but Marshall's had off the field issues involving the law and TO hasn't. Marshall brings the potential for alot of problems to an organization. All you need to do is go review the footage of him kicking the ball around during camp that got him suspended. Who needs a player like that?

TO hasn't had issues with players? Where have you been the past decade?

Sure he is. All that stuff on tape of the practice b/s was made for TV.

He had some issues with Jeff Garcia, McNabb and according to Ed Werder with Jason Witten and both TO and Witten denied it. Even Garcia and McNabb denied some of the things that were reported. The media fabricates alot of this crap. All TO's teammates seem to like him at least that's the impression they give. There's a thread on the board right now where Crayton's saying he would welcome him back in Dallas. LOL Alot of players have issues with a teammate from time to time but it doesn't make news. Everything TO does gets blown up into a big production and that's what causes all the distractions with him. Marshall's not only complaining about money but he's been arrested twice once for disorderly conduct and another time for domestic violence against his girlfriend.

His last arrest was only a year ago. Then when he found out Cutler was traded and he was stuck with Orton he was doing everything he could to get a ticket out of Denver including kicking balls around during camp. The guy is trouble! There's a number of red flags with him and I wouldn't risk a top draft pick and alot of money on a player who might not even be happy with his contract in a couple of years and who could end up being arrested again. You telling me you wouldn't be a little concerned investing a top draft pick and alot of money on a player with Marshall's history?

 

[MONT17]

did someone say trade a PB&J sandwich and a 3rd for Marshall? Maybe we can throw in Roy too...

 

[Longboysfan]

No, I would rather go with what we got and add a draft pick.

Thank you.

Why bother with another team's head case.

 

[TellerMorrow34]

Really? well I dont know the story on him and if that's even true. I'm just saying there's woman out there that do this for a living. Latch on to athletes and collect paychecks.

yeah, no doubt. They're out there.

But they are athletes and such out there who also happen to be guys who have no problem hitting women.

Don't know which case it is with Marshall but with our current situation at WR, and the money we'll have there, it's not worth it to me for the Cowboys to find out which side of that argument Marshall falls on.

then there was the TO fight with hugh douglas.

anyway i digress. while all you wrote about BM is true, you left out that he apologized and was a model player the rest of the season. Not 1 incident the rest of the way. McDaniels even benched and questioned his toughness at the end of the season and he responded politely and appropriately. that makes me think he's turned the corner. i'm not in favor of going and getting him because i don't think we need him, but if someone were to take miles from us, i'd be in favor of BM because i think he's a hell of a WR.
