DENVER (CBS4) ―
Could wide receiver Brandon Marshall be the next disgruntled Bronco looking for a ticket out of town? Reports say Marshall is following the same path as Jay Cutler by telling the Broncos he wants to be traded.
Marshall was a no-show at the Broncos mandatory minicamp last weekend. However he did meet with Broncos owner Pat Bowlen on Friday afternoon. It's believed that during that meeting Marshall requested the trade.
The Broncos tell CBS4 Sports they are aware of the reports, but have no comment. Efforts to reach Marshall's agent have been unsuccessful.
Marshall has never said in public what his complaints are with the Broncos, but by all accounts they center around two issues: Money and health.
Marshall wants a new contract. He's due to make roughly $2 million dollars this season. That's well below the salaries of the top paid receivers in the NFL, and Marshall believes he's worth a raise after a Pro Bowl season in 2008.
Marshall is also reportedly upset with the Broncos' handling of his hip injury. Marshall underwent surgery on the hip in the offseason and has been rehabbing away from the Broncos facility.
