Problem is, he wont.

I agree with mostly everyone when they say its all about money, but Bowlen wont pay. I just read an article on the denver post website, and Woody Paige said that Bowlen stated that the management team is doing all they can to accommodate his trade request.

Even ESPN.com is saying that 5 teams are interested, but im not an insider so i have no idea who they are.

Its a sad day, but you have to look at McD's offense, and its not designed to focus on just ONE reciever. Sure, B Marsh has been spectaular, but who fumbled 5 times costing us games? Who has had an injury almost at the start of EVERY SEASON?

B Marsh is a great player, but hes plauged like Owens or Pacman. Hes stays, he will probably bash the team and badmouth his way right out of Denver, giving us NOTHING in return. We trade him now, we at least get some more pieces to fill this void of a puzzle.

i dont know about any other bronco fan, but i am looking forward to this season. I have hope, but thats about it.

How do you figure?

We all know were McD came from, or who was his mentor sorta speak, but i say give the man a chance. Forget about Cutler, he will wish he stayed in Denver when Bears fans eat him alive for making bone-head mistakes.

He brings a fresh offense that doesnt require a big arm, or a spectacular reciever. Hell, i wouldnt be too suprised that over time the critics or cutler himself would begin to complain that he wasnt utilized to his strengths, or that we were wasteing him with this short to medium passing game.

Our running game will most certainly improve, the odds are low that disaster will strike again like it did last season. The worst i see it, is that we are the next minisota vikings at least. Strong running game and a fair pass team.

The only question, which is on everyones mind is the defense. If we blow leads or allow teams to score pretty much every time they get the ball, then yeah...i wasted over $200 on NFL Sunday ticket. But im a fan, and i have not missed a game in 5 years.

None of the offseason problems were McD's fault, and i dont think he "lied and besmirched the franchise" like Al davis claims that Kiff did. He got rid of a prima-donna and hopefully he will rid our team of a owens-pacman like plauge that will drag us more and more into the headlines for the wrong reasons.

He has to. He has absolutely no bargaining power here. If he sits out, first he loses a year experience which affects his ability to become and unrestricted free agent this upcoming offseason. And second, he gains nothing by not not playing, if he sits out this year and doesn't play no team will give him the contract he thinks he deserves.

I wouldn't look to much into it, that statement has never been confirmed by the Broncos. The only person who claimed Bowlen said that was Marshall's agent. I am not saying it definately isn't true, but there is a good chance that was smoke.

I agree, but you have to think about one thing...he plays and finishes his deal...what do the broncos get in return? I know that may sound selfish, and it happens every offseason, but why not try and get rid of him for something now?

Marshall and his agent seem to think the Broncos will just roll over on this one but why would they again? That'll just give any player the thought that they can do it as well if they're unhappy. Bowlen needs to make an example out of Marshall after the Cutler fiasco or it's just going to get uglier by the day.

3 major things working against him that make the Broncos hesitant for a lucrative contract, regardless of the HC. Last year it was a question that people were interested to see how it would play out

-Coming off a fairly serious hip surgery, working with his own medical after his trust issues with the Broncos'
-Catching and ball security issues, along with his operation after losing a fight with McDonalds trash.
-Off the field issues with females, pending suspension still.

Broncos dont have to do anything with him, they have wide recievers that are learning the system and would be happy to play. After this year, they can just slap the franchise on him for another year. Unless Bowlen can get great value in return, I wouldn't mind seeing Marshall bleed his bank account for his attempt at a new deal.

They would NEVER trade anyone to oak-town if you ask me. But it would be interesting to watch his career get flushed down the crapper...

The Broncs are in the driver seat, all marshall can do is buckle up and play...or say bye-bye to his huge contract.

I think bowlen needs to tell him if he can stay injury and arrest free, then he will get his pay raise. If he declines, i would just slap the franchise tag on his a$$.
