Brandon Marshall has finally spoken. He wants out of Denver. The Pro Bowl receiver posted a short statement Tuesday on his Web site confirming he wants to be traded.
"To whom it may concern," Marshall wrote. "Life is filled with change, and where I am in my life now change is probably best."
Marshall confirmed that he asked Pat Bowlen for the trade during a face-to-face meeting last week.
Marshall met with the team owner just hours after the Broncos wrapped up the first day of a three day mandatory minicamp. Marshall will almost certainly be fined for skipping the minicamp.
"The hardest thing was hearing Mr. B wish me luck in the future,but we both came to the conclusion that this is probably the best thing for me to grow on and off the field."
There are conflicting accounts as to where the Broncos stand on trading their talented receiver. Marshall's agent is quoting as saying the Broncos told him they would try to accomodate his trade request.
However, Broncos head coach Josh McDaniels is also quoted with a much different take. According to ESPN, McDaniels says the team plans to keep Marshall.
"We met after Pat's meeting with Brandon Marshall, and we've decided that we will continue to have a dialogue with Brandon and his representative," McDaniels told ESPN. "But we are looking forward to having Brandon at training camp."
When CBS4 Sports contacted Marshall's agent Kennard McGuire, he declined to discuss the situation. The Broncos told CBS4's Gary Miller that they would have no further comments beyond what McDaniels has already said.
