No don't trade him. He's our best player and without him our offense will be even worse than it was.

I heard on the radio this morning that Marshall is saying he wants out of Denver because of the emotional trauma with the death of Williams. The way I see it, get compensation for him while you can. When he can leave, he will.
I remember I asked that question not too long ago because someone at MHR came up with it (I believe). So many are saying Balt. but (I know the 'smoke and mirrors' by any team) they've came out and said they wouldn't tender a first and third. I wish Brandon would be a completely different person and we could keep him because of his talents so this team can move on and focus on the lines rather than getting rid of him and possibly drafting a WO to replace him!!
Ive also considered this after seeing it in a mock. Really well done too! Its not a bad idea, and DEN gets alot of ammo to play with.
I would hope that DEN made the trade DURING the draft, just before pick
#35, not allowing other teams to be prepared for what is coming.
This would really create confusion, and make alot of teams have to scramble with DEN picking yet again shortly after.
Honestly this is a great idea, and i will look for the mock.
At first, I hated the idea, but now I'm warming up to this one:
Send him to Seattle for our first round pick back and Deion Branch. Branch can't stay healthy, but he knows McDaniels and his system. Branch's production has suffered in Seattle, but he's still a character locker room guy. Marshall and Who'syourmama in Seattle could be just what Matt Hasselbeck needs to get back to pro-bowl shape. It also allows them to spend their other picks on the O-line to protect Hasselbeck.
I think that's about as fair as it gets. I don't think anybody will give up a first and third, but a first and a player that is overpaid and underused in their system but might be useful in ours might just be the way to go.
The bottom line is, if McDaniels believes Marshall is a distraction, then I want him to leave. I'd rather lose Marshall's highlight reel ridden, 10 TD having, 100+ catches if it means we're not in the media every week looking like dysfunctional tool bags.

Now it sounds like he is trying to use the DW tragedy as a crutch to get out of here. Looks like he'll try anything and everything to get out of here even though it's pathetic!! Why is he coming out now with all the emotion....I call BS!! Obviously, he doesn't want to be a BRONCO so get the best value and hopefully one of these teams bite especially that TB rumor!!
I am sure that whoever stated this on the radio this morning, is somewhat fabricating the article I posted yesterday by Klis in regards to Darrent's trial coming up this week. From the article, the ONLY thing in regards to Brandon wanting to leave Denver because of Darrent's death is the following:
http://www.denverpost.com/premium/broncos/ci_14441207
"I have never spoken to Marshall about that tragic night of Dec. 31, 2006-Jan. 1, 2007. I have spoken to several people close to Marshall, and they all say Williams' murder continues to torment him."
So, even if the several people Klis spoke to, if he even did, said that William's murder continues to torment Brandon, WHERE does that indicate that he wants to leave Denver????

THIS ONES FOR JOHNWOULD YOU RATHER WIN UGLY, OR LOSE PRETTY?
I'm at the point now where I just want this settled one way or the other.
If the team or Marshall are ready to move in different directions, make it happen. Get what they can and continue to rebuild. What his value truly is will be determined once he's gone.
Conversely, if they decide to take the chance on Marshall and pay him, just do it.
Whichever way this goes, JUST LET IT BE OVER!
it absolutely depends on wether or not marshall wants to be here....we will know soon enough.
if he really wants out and we could get seattles 1st and branch....hell yeah.
we could then get bryant and a top DE or DT and still have our 2-3 rnd picks for o-line
if he just wants a contract and will play hard for the team (as he has done) then pay the man .
I like eveything you mention except acquiring Branch. The only Branch I'd look at possibly getting is Alan Branch from AZ. We need more bodies at NT. I know he hasn't distinguished himself in AZ, but he's better than anyone we now have on the roster.
So, if trading Brandon can get us and 1st & 4th in return from SEA, then ship that 4th to AZ for Branch (assuming AZ wants to deal him) then count me in.
This is true ifyou believe that two in the bush is better than one in the hand.
Personally, we can say that about every talented player on the team. If we keep getting rid of our building blocks, we have nothing to build with. Instead, we have a bunch of picks, and still having to build.
I would rather keep the proven, talented, players and build WITH them and around them rather than attempting to use those gained picks to replace them. Replacing never works.

And just last week he said he wanted to stay. See what i mean, the guy can never make up his mind on what he wants to do. He is just a head case and we need to unload him and start getting "McD" type players in here. Lord knows i dont want McD to succeed with "Shanny" talent.
