Brandon Marshall
 

May be released from Chicago. Was due $7.5m...

At 30yrs old he's still an impactful receiver. Almost a more agile version of Colston.

Would you pay for him?

Re: Brandon Marshall
 

Isn't that around what we pay Colston? Hell yeah.

Re: Brandon Marshall
 

No.

I would prefer to have his partner Alshon Jeffries :p

Larry Fitzgerald!

Re: Brandon Marshall
 

Seeing as we are paying Colston 4.5ml even if he is cut this isnt happening

Re: Brandon Marshall
 

I don't know really. He is bi-polar and that kinda scares me.

Re: Brandon Marshall
 

Dudeis twice the receiver Colston is. Sorry.

Re: Brandon Marshall
 

Dude is twice the headache - No Thank You...

Need an offensive line anyways, we've got enough weapons on offense...

Re: Brandon Marshall
 

We are missing a true #1 WR.

It's no longer Colston.
It clearly isn't Graham.
Meachem is gone.


Cooks?
Stills?
Jones?
Coleman?

Maybe we were grooming SJB this whole time to move BACK to WR???? lol

Re: Brandon Marshall
 

Yes Colston had a bad season for Marques, let's see what he comes back with, even so...

Look at all the weapons you just mentioned...

Graham, Colston, Cooks, Stills...

Then you've got developing talent like Josh Hill, Nick Toon...

You got the ghost of Lance Moore wanting a release...

Then you've got PT and whatever RB we dig up as UDFA...

There's only one freaking football!!!

We've got to spend that free agent money on an offensive line...

So Brees will have time to settle his confused mind where he wants to geaux with the ball with all those options...

And someone like Brandon Marshall wants the ball every single play, plus the touchdown...

Don't want a pouter-type when a teammate makes the score...

Re: Brandon Marshall
 

Developing talent??

Toon and Hill have been here three years each. Neither is a #1 WR

In fact brother, no one you mentioned is a #1.

Yes Marshall wants the ball. He wants it more then Colston and Graham in the last two seasons combined!!

Re: Brandon Marshall
 

The point is in this offense, Saints offense, we don't need a No. 1, anybody can be no. 1 any giving week and the opposition never knows where we're going with it...

And I'm not so sure Jimmy isn't a No. 1 which is what got us into trouble at times cause Drewsie wasn't checking down, but forcing it to Graham...

Re: Brandon Marshall
 

Toon three (although one on IR) but Hill has only been here two.

Sorry, I'm an obsessive corrector.:p

Re: Brandon Marshall
 

I like him and the idea is great. However, I'm just not interested in paying for a number 1 receiver if we're not going to fully utilize him in that role... and I don't think we would.

Re: Brandon Marshall
 

While I do think we need a receiver, we need to decide where we want to get a OL, in the draft or FA.

Re: Brandon Marshall
 

Marshall can't even stay put during the season

Flying to NYC for Inside the NFL tapings

What other player takes on that type of distraction?

Re: Brandon Marshall
 

So what is a #1? I hear the term all the time but few people can actually tell me what it is. Is it a certain body type? An attitude? A talent level?

I personally think we have all the recievers we need in our current system. Cooks and Stills are developing. Colston is the crafty veteran and Toon will provide depth.

Re: Brandon Marshall
 

I agree. It's not like the Seahawks and Patriots have prototypical number 1's either. We just need players to make plays when their number is called.

Re: Brandon Marshall
 

Exactly. Never would I have thought Julian Edelman (sp) would do as much damage as he did this past off season. This guy is like 5'9 & was absolutely balling.

Re: Brandon Marshall
 

It helps that the Pats have Gronk blocking like a beast and using his size and hands to catch everything his way.

Re: Brandon Marshall
 

Imagine if we signed Randall Cobb, that guy is good!
