Brandon Marshall a possible Eagle?

In this offseason, there have been more obsessions with a number one receiver than ever before. There are rumors circulating every day, but one that is a real possibility is Brandon Marshall. He and Jay Cutler are at it after his bizarre injury and the team lacks depth at cornerback because of Dre` Bly's poor performance. This makes Marshall a trade target. His 6' 4", 230 pound frame fits the eagles need perfectly. He is a possession receiver, who pulled in over 100 passes last year and is only 24. The Eagles could throw Lito, a 2nd and 5th at the Bronco's and they would be forced to trade Marshall. The FO is rumored to have something big planned and this could be it. Look for Marshall to the Eagles on or the week before draft day. Rumors are weak, but this is one that is a real possibility.

AND WHO WOULD JAY CUTLER THROW TO? THEY JUST GOT RID OF JAVON WALKER BECAUSE OF THE EMERGENCE OF MARSHALL.. AND DRE BLY HAD THE SAME NUMBER OF PDEF AS CHAMP BAILEY AND MORE INTERCEPTION 5:3 .. BRANDON MARSHALL WOULD BE A GOOD FIT BUT ITS NOT HAPPENING. AND HE WILL MISS TRAINING CAMP MOST LIKELY WITH HIS INJURY..

I agree with your point of them not getting rid of him, BUT STOP YELLING AT ME!!! Also, Bly was horrible last year, Pass defenses or not, he probably gave up many more receptions for many more yards and tds.

Did you watch the part of all of the games where Bly got beat almost every play? Interesting but philly goonz is right, No way Marshall is goin anywhere.

yea bly is pretty bad, gets burnt a LOT! but marshall isn't going anywhere

What makes this a real possibility?

Yeah, there's not reason to get rid of an very young, up and coming, great receiver. How is this a real possibility? You link to nothing. I could make up a story about us trading for anyone and saying it's a real possibility...

let me chime in on this nonsense.........how bout lito for their 2nd, they could be one of the 6 teams interested......

Wow, another made up rumor. What makes this a "real possibility"? Denver is mad at Marshall, but they aren't looking to trade him. Bring the facts next time, or let us know you are pulling it out of your ass.

Not going to happen. We will have to rely on either a draft day trade or actually draft a WR. I got my eye's set on James Hardy.

they wont trade someone because of a little conflict it isnt backyard football

devin thomas has the size,speed,& return ability we need.........

Not another one. Look, I am willing to bet my life on it that Marshall will not become an eagle. First of all he's practically Denver's only true receiving threat now that Walker's in Oakland. And Second he's hurt and according to some accounts that I read he won't be at full strength at the start of the season. And I know he only injured his arm but who knows how that is going to effect his overall performance. I am with the Majority in wanting a true number one and I agree I think the front office will be pulling out all the stops to make that trade for a number one during the draft. Now since a draft day trade isn't a guarantee, I say we set our hopes towards a receiver we can pick up in the first round. Like the WR/KR out of Cal who is visiting them this week - D-JAX!!!!!! DeSean Jackson

this doesnt even make sense dude denver has two shutdown corners in dre and champ and brandon marshall is there future please dont waste time writing up b.s any more please

Desean Jackson is not for the Eagles. We don't need another slot receiver. We need a serious threat. I say Devin Thomas. Most scouts agree he can be a true #1 in the NFL. I doubt we'll get him. James Hardy would be my second choice. Philadelphiaeagles.com has a break down of the top WRs. Sevin Thomas is at the top.

They didn't even put Sweed on the list... what a joke.

Trust me D-jax is not just another slot receiver. Don't judge the kid by his size, I am telling you he will be big. Jerry Rice thinks the kid has it in him to be one of the best, I think we should trust the greatest receiver in football.

As much as I would love to see Brandon Marshall on the Eagles, this is a completely unsubstantiated claim. There is no link, no sources. I hope I'm wrong- he would be amazing in Philly.
Also, you mention the Broncos lack of depth at corner; where do you see depth at receiver? Javon Walker just got run out of town. Outside of Marshall, there's no one to throw to.

Na wouldn't want him. He fumbles to much.

Hey look, another moron posts his thoughts without a source or anything to back it up! All you have is wishful thinking. And by the way, Cutler and Marshall are not "at it." All Cutler said was he was not happy with him and who would be? Since the comments, Cutler has clarified everything and the two have spoken. Stop being an idiot and blowing everything way outta proportion...Marshall will never be an Eagle.

I agree this is as stupid as Eric Bruntlett should start over J-Roll!!

well that was straight necessity...i don't think anybody would really be clamouring for that on a regular basis

JRoll had a minor injury.Can't have him aggravate it into a major injury.Give him a day off.See if he plays tonight.

Man, Bly is taking a lot of heat for a guy whose safety help was in the box 40% of the time.

Seems like wishful thinking but good luck to ya.

I believe one thing... draft day we will see a big move... what that move is??-- beyond me and I think everyone else at this point because of the 1000 rumors.

Henry Ellard is visiting with the Eagles this week along with Art Monk.

What....Art Monk could be the deep threat we need.Maybe we can sign Warren Moon as a backup.

what is this guy retarded? marshall to the eagles? man he's really reachin

why would trade lito a 2nd and a 5th for marshall when all we had to do is trade lito and a 2nd for either boldin, fitz, williams, or ocho.

I think I've made this comment to you before..but if sports is life, you must be on your death bed. "all we had to do" are you F'ing kidding me? NONE of the 4 guys you mentioned were EVER AVAILABLE.

Haha well put... gotta put these tards in their place lol.

rumors.... look what they do to normal people.

normal?I spend all of a sunny afternoon yakking on a sportsblog.

Any speculation about Marshall, be it that you think he will be traded or you think he will never be an eagle, bottom line is either arguement you take, you know NOTHING so arguing either way makes you just as dumb as the other guy. And by the way....Dre Bly is a shutdown corner? Unless by shutdown corner you mean Bly shuts down and gets burnt constantly than I agree. Senseless arguing about trades that people pull out of their asses...thats philly for ya

No you are wrong.The probability of Marshall becoming an Eagle is far lower than its opposite.There are sound,logical reasons for this.It's much more of a gamble to say he will play for the Eagles.

All afternoon huh? Boring life...

The bickering is fun sometimes, but not all day now boogerman.

Yeah, I can't argue with this.I should probably throw this computer away.It never leads to anything productive.

Whoever wrote this article is a dumbass. Denver is not trading Marshall (where did you get that idea?) and why would Denv er trade for a corner when they have two shut down corners? This deal will NEVER happen.

Seriously, eagles145, you need to stop posting this stupid sh!t, or just get off the site, you are ruining it

yeah this guy is a waste of ....life

sorry booger didnt realize you were a gm.You sure know alot saying things are definate or not. Of course Marshall probably wont be an eagle, but the same people were saying asante would NEVER be an eagle. So im Just saying you know absolutely nothing more than anyone else who isnt a GM, and is posting articles on this site. This isnt your favorite teams website, this is a bunch of people bored at work writing about their wishes, hardly anything ever written on this site comes true its for Entertainment....all this over nothing

I don't recall people saying asante would NEVER be an eagle. Booger didn't say hes knows what will happen. He was talking about probabilities, and he was absolutely right. Would you say that we have the same probability of trading for Tom Brady, Randy Moss, or any other great player as NOT trading for them? No, that would be incredibly dumb. It's not like Denver has a surplus of WRs, but quite the opposite.

The problem with this is "article" is that he wasn't talking about it being possible. He said it was a "real possibility" (it's not), said people were talking about this rumor (they're not), that the team lacks CB depth (their WR depth is worse than their CB depth), and that Cutler and Marshall were "at each other" (not the case).

Well said

Then why the f**k are YOU on here dude? If you don't like it, find another site. Why do you keep coming back? And, you're right, this site is for entertainment, not for people to come on here and belittle everyone who says says something about a subject. Everyone has an opinion. Whether that is a wish, dream, or anything else, respect it for what it is. You have to give respect to get it.

Like these ^^^ guys said, if you really feel it's pointless to speculate on what moves your team will make then this is not the place to be.

We all know that the Eagles dont pick up bad charactor guys ( he lied about a the way injury happend) I read 3 difernet stories before he did the press conf. Besides that who know how the damage to his arm is going to effect his game we have a tuff training camp would we have to red shirt him

Red shirt??? Prince, is that you? Umm...you make a valid point,I guess.As someone pointed out earlier here, he might not be ready for camp, but it's of no consequence to the Eagles.

I hate when people just make up random sh!t

Is this story just because Brandon Marshall is hurt and in the news? C'mon dude. I'm a huge Eagles fan and live outside of Philly and love to hear what others think as I don't get to hear the "buzz" firsthand. This is just insane though.
I think the only way to make a little light out of this ridiculous article and possibly shed some light on your reasoning is that you had one too many cheesesteaks, beers, or illegal drugs and on your 4th or 5th pass of ESPN during the day hearing about Jay Cutler again and figured you could save the Eagles WR woes and maybe even land a job in the front office.
NICE TRY..... I think the Eagles would have a better shot at Chris Henry....

I was with you all the way and then..Chris Henry.Hope McNabb's arm can reach all the way to Graterford 'cause that's where Henry would be.

No, dont buy it. The Eagles Org. have NEVER bent over backwards in a trade deal.
On top of that that would be a lose lose lose situation. 1Lito holds more star power and is more of a threat than Marshall is. Lito Plus pick? yeah right.3 He would probably be no better than kevin curtis. not to knock kevin but there is not enough of an improvement to go with.

Seriously, what makes this guy think Denver is going to trade Marshall, their best receiver, for a corner when Denver already has 2 good ones?

Look lets stay away from the trade talk.....let's grab some new guys in the draft.......

You just dont trade a pro bowl caliber cb, a 2nd round pick, and a fifth round pick for any old body. Now, I think Marshall is going to be a good receiver...but to trade that much for someone you think might be good is the easiest way to get run out of town. We could deal with the Eagles drafting one of the top receivers in this draft and him not working out...that is uncontrollable. But to trade that much for someone, he better come here and have 1300 yards and 10 TD's.

If you "don't recall" anyone saying Asante wouldnt be an eagle....see archives of espn, nfl.com, profootballtalk, and the eagles own website. If you can honeslty sit hear only weeks after the eagles signed Asante and say you dont recall
