walzav29 Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 I have thought this through and I say do it. The draft is 5/95 that any WR we draft in the 1st rnd turns out any good. This is still Carson's team no matter what B. Marshall would think. We have to strike while the irons hot. Make an offer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is still Carson's team no matter what B. Marshall would think. We have to strike while the irons hot. Make an offer!Sure any team could make an offer and get him with a first round pick but what about the eventual contract dispute that he will command? MB does not sign, or trade, for big name high dollar FA's. The Bengals have a build through the draft philosophy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BengalPimp Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 It's not just a matter of the 1st Rd pick, it's the fact that they're going to have to give a big enough contract, that the Broncos won't/can't match. They could possibly get a break, because he won't be a free-agent and can't demand whatever he wants, but again, they will have to offer him enough that the Broncos don't match....

What's to stop him from holding out, demanding more, or just being a child about his new RFA contract? I think he's a great player, it's just that the chances of the Bengals signing him are about slim and none. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he's a great player, it's just that the chances of the Bengals signing him are about slim and none.as a "Restricted" free-agent, another team can sign you to an offer sheet at whatever length and dollar amount they want.... 5 yrs $40 mill for example, it is then up to the team that holds his rights to decide whether or not to match it. If they match, he is theirs for the same salary BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY "Terms" (as in options, roster bonuses, escalators and other clauses) as were on the offer sheet he signed with the other team. If they choose not to match, they then forfeit his rights in return for compensation of draft pick(s). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyBengal Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 I would be all for it without much thought...That being said, I don't see it happening. Watch the Redskins go get him to give Campbell a target. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HairOnFire Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 It's not just a matter of the 1st Rd pick, it's the fact that they're going to have to give a big enough contract, that the Broncos won't/can't match. True enough, but I'm guessing the very reason the Broncos didn't place a higher tender offer on Marshall was to encourage other teams to make trade proposals. And IMHO you don't do things like that unless you have no intention of matching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingwilly Posted March 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 He is there for the getting, as is Boldin.This is an open moment to see just how willing this ownership is to win, to make a change in the direction of the team.I am sure we'll all be watching.

walzav29 Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 I just hope the Bengals aren't used as leverage again. Where he "agrees" with the Bengals and then another team swoops in. Like the Rogers, Sapp fiasco. It would be the perfect move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyBengal Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 This from PFT:Every team with a need at wide receiver is getting linked to Brandon Marshall.Joe Reedy, who does yeoman's work for the Cincinnati Enquirer, wants everyone to know they can stop linking the Bengals to him.Yeah, yeah, Marshall would help fill the team's knucklehead quota. But Mike Brown is loathe to give up a draft pick, using his first-round pick every year since 1989. Reedy suggests that one former Bengal is a more likely target. Kevin Walter is our second-ranked free agent wide receiver and he won't cost anything except a big contract to acquire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dadraftnick Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 First of all if, I am not mistaken ,to get Marshall will also require a 1st round draft pick if not more.Mikey Boy also would have to PAY Marshall.Also, if I am not mistaken , Marshall's agent is Drew Rosenhaus, which means any contract you sign with him is not worth the paper its written on.Anyone that has Rosenhaus as an agent hates the team they play for and have been disrespected by that team and they proceed to demand a trade or new contract everyear or they will disrupt the team.The final thing standing in the way is Marshall is a NUT - he is as crazy as Chad only in a Bad way.I know he can play but, the guy is in constant trouble, has trouble with coaches,throws fits, hell he got suspended as Denver was heading into the playoffs.

ArmyBengal Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 As a consolation prize Kevin Walter is OK with me.Once again, I like Walter, he just doesn't fit the "playmaker" role this offense needs and the team knows it wants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
