What do you do when your star wide receiver refuses to play under his current contract and becomes such a problem you have to suspend him? If you’re the Denver Broncos, you offer him a new contract. News came yesterday that the Broncos have offered Marshall a contract that will put his pay more in line with other top receivers in the league, although those contract talks are now on hold. The Jets have shown a clear interest in Marshall, but the Broncos seem to be waiting until the last minute in an attempt to get top dollar in return. I’m not sure if that strategy will pay off, as a receiver becomes less valuable when he starts with a new team during the season and has to learn a whole new playbook.
