Jets To Release Brandon Marshall
Most feel that Marshall’s New York Jets success could easily be shifted a few hours south to Baltimore, where the team is no doubt reeling from the retirement of wide receiver Steve Smith. The NFL Combine is going on right now, but I’m guessing his agent can get some meetings organized while he is most likely in Indianapolis. “He cares deeply about the game and others and it shows in everything he does”. “I’m looking forward to finding a great organization where I can contribute and bring home a championship”. He and teammate Sheldon Richardson engaged in a heated argument following the Week 3 loss in Kansas City.
Over the Cap has the Giants with just about million left.
One, look at who the Patriots already have at receiver.
Marshall was traded to NY from the Chicago Bears on March 10, 2015 in exchange for a fifth-round pick in the 2015 Draft. After all, the soon-to-be 33-year old himself said that joining the Jets’ AFC East rivals would be “intriguing” even though he would simply “be a rental player”. Marshall played three seasons in Chicago, setting personal highs for receptions (118) and yardage (1,508) in 2012. He underwent surgeries for hip and shoulder injuries last season, and it’s unclear when he will return.
“I’m still extremely confident that I’m an elite receiver”, he said. The numbers weren’t there, and that’s new for me.
“But this year, I promise you, I’ll be in the top five”.
The monster-sized 6-foot-4, 230-pound wideout suffered through a prodigious production decline in 2016 when 109 catches for 1,502 yards and 12 touchdowns turned into 59 for 788 and three scores. “It’s all about winning”. The 6-foot-4, 230-pound receiver can still be an impact playmaker for an National Football League offense over the next two to three seasons, and is now tied as the National Football League 24th leading receiver (12,061) all-time.
With the start of free agency less than a week away, the Los Angeles Rams are expected to make a run at numerous wide receivers to help make life easier for Jared Goff heading into his first full season as the starter at quarterback.
