Get Ready to Say Your Goodbyes to Marshall

Brandon Marshall is meeting with the Seattle Seahawks today and they may make an offer, after which the Broncos have 7 days to match, or let him go. We all know they are going to let him go, but Seahawks will have to give up a first round draft pick. I guess even that is negotiable (everything is subject to any changes the teams agree on), so get ready to say our goodbyes to Brandon Marshall.

So like it or not, he is on the way out. I found a website you can go to to keep up with him and it says it is his official website - Brandon Marshall - and you can send him a goodbye email if you want to. Well, maybe it is a bit too soon for this, but the handwriting is on the wall for this one. No matter what Bowlen said, and what McCoach said, he is going somewhere. I can just imagine the private talks they have about him.

Isn't it funny how they always talk one way, and end up doing the opposite? That is the way of the NFL most of the time.

I have no idea if the rumors about Donovan McNabb have any credibility or not, but the Broncos do need a quarterback of higher quality than Kyle Orton. Over at the Eagles they have 3 to choose from, McNabb, Kolb and Vick. Ya think the Broncos will want to play with any of these guys? I have my doubts but it is an interesting idea. For their own reasons, the Eagles are apparently wanting to trade them all.

Why not use Brandstater? I have not heard a word about him for a year or more. Apparently he is still on the roster, but they never use him at all. He could be the inexpensive way for the Broncos to have a franchise QB without dipping into the geriatrics pool to get one. Brandstater was selected by the Broncos in the sixth round (174th overall) of the 2009 NFL Draft from Fresno State University where he was a three-year starter for the Bulldogs.

So is it too early to say goodbye to Brandon? Sniff, dang. Well let's wait until tomorrow!
