Although it is really a big challenge for the Seattle Seahawks to acquire wide receiver Brandon Marshall from the Denver Broncos, they still welcomed him when the receiver decided to have visit with the team on Saturday. Would Marshall like to put on Seahawks jersey or will the Seahawks be willing to spend as much as the Broncos require to obtain the talented receiver? Well, I guess things will be worked out in the next couple of days.
The Broncos slapped a first-round tender on Marshall earlier this week, thus the Seahawks would have to pay the No. 6 pick in April’s draft as the compensation to the Broncos if no trade can be agreed. It really depends on how the Seahawks value Marshall, who has caught more than 100 passes in each of the last three straight seasons. Even he was benched by Coach Josh McDaniels for several games last season, Marshall still managed to catch 101 passes and 10 touchdowns.
The first-round tender offer will guarantee the 26-year-old Marshall a 14.7 percent raise in salary to $2.521 million if he continues playing for the Broncos in 2010 season. However, the receiver has made it clear that he would like to leave Denver for a new team. Some reports said that he was angry with the team’s medical staff for misdiagnosing a hip injury that required surgery, some said he was unhappy with his current contract with the Broncos, and there were also reports saying that Marshall wants to leave because of the death of his former teammate, Darrent Williams, who was with Marshall and other teammates before being shot to death on New Year’s Day 2007.
