cool, just making sure man, because in fact a 1st rounder tender means the exact opposite of wanting to get rid of him. everyone knows he isnt the long term answer and is only a stop gap until we get our "qb of the future" so What it means is hey, you want him give us a first. we all know noone will give us a first to sign him and if by chance someone did then we get a 1st rounder to draft antoher qb with.

if marshall didnt have the off the field problems he would be approaching top 3 to 5 status. dude is a beast.
i think for some teams, not all, it would be worth the risk to see if this guy can turn into a team player. if so watch out. it would have been nice to see him and cutler together a little longer.

The Chargers have traded cornerback Antonio Cromartie to the New York Jets in exchange for a third-round pick in 2011.
The pick could become a second-rounder based on playing time.
Cromartie and the Chargers had agreed to part ways after three seasons. Cromartie was unhappy with the defense, and the Chargers had grown disenchanted with Cromartie’s attitude.

Bye bye Burleson: Seahawks receiver signs with Lions
Here's the news most Seattle Seahawks didn't want to hear in the opening hours of free agency. Wide receiver Nate Burleson has agreed to a five-year deal with the Detroit Lions, according to ESPN's John Clayton.
Burleson has said since the end of last season that he'd prefer to stay in Seattle, but the Lions apparently convinced him the Field Turf could be greener in Ford Field, thanks largely to a $25 million deal that Clayton says includes $11 million guaranteed cash.
In Detroit, he'll play with young Matthew Stafford at quarterback and look to be a No. 2 target alongside star receiver Calvin Johnson.
Burleson earned $14.5 million over the last four seasons in Seattle. He originally signed a seven-year, $49 million deal that was heavily backloaded for the final three years as Seahawks GM Tim Ruskell sought to match the poison-pill deal that Minnesota used to lure Steve Hutchinson away.
But knowing he'd never see the final three non-guaranteed years of that deal, Burleson agreed to rework the contract after his first season in Seattle, with the two sides returning to the original four-year pact that had been on the table before Hutchinson's situation arose.
Thus the 28-year-old hit free agency this offseason and quickly took advantage. The Seahawks could have locked him up by applying the franchise tag to him, but that would have required guaranteeing a one-year, $9.5 million deal for next season, which would have tripled his 2009 base salary of $3.25 million.
The O'Dea High graduate had injury problems the past two years, but was one of Seattle's top playmakers when healthy. He also was a positive force in the locker room, an upbeat personality who will definitely be missed.
He tore knee ligaments in the first game of the 2008 season, but worked extremely hard to come back last year and regain his starting role by the opening game. He was leading the team in receptions with 63 for 812 yards and was on pace for the best season of his career when he suffered a high-ankle sprain that forced him to miss the final three games.
Burleson's departure leaves the Seahawks with T.J. Houshmandzadeh, Deion Branch and rookie Deon Butler as its only experienced receivers.
Free agency began at 9 p.m. Thursday and the biggest name on the books -- Carolina defensive end Julius Peppers -- quickly agreed to visit the Chicago Bears on Friday, according to the Twitter account of Chicago Tribune's Vaughn McClure.
Apparently the Bears will be busy as Sean Jensen of the Chicago Sun-Times is also reporting that Vikings running back Chester Taylor will visit the Bears Friday.

Brandon Marshall on Seahawks’ radar
Could Denver Broncos wide receiver Brandon Marshall(notes) be leaving the AFC West and heading to the Pacific Northwest?
According to a league source, there’s a strong rumor that Marshall is drawing significant interest to the Seahawks and new coach Pete Carroll.
Per our source, nothing is imminent as far as drawing up an offer sheet.
Marshall is a restricted free agent, but he was only assigned the first-round tender.
The Seahawks own two first-round draft picks, the sixth overall pick and the 14th overall selection. The Broncos would have the opportunity to match any offer or receive a first-round pick as compensation.
Per two league sources, the Baltimore Ravens aren’t expected to pursue Marshall.

The Bears will meet with free agent Julius Peppers on Friday.
According to beat writer Brad Biggs, the Bears are confident they will sign Peppers.
Chicago wasted(I guess it's not the best word to describe it) because they gave their first to Denver for the cutler trade and also traded their 2nd for gaines adams(RIP) n he passed away, not that it has anything to do wit it but I heard his autopsy report had alcohol and herb in his system lol. Daaaaaaaa bears need a pass rusher, and I'm sure big tommy harris would love some help up front. Who the bears starting DE? I'm lazy to look the shit up on my iPhone. Wasn't it like ayodole or somethin like that? Also, bears play 4-3 D right? I thought peppers was tryna go to a team that plays 3-4 D.
