According to the Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll, the team’s general manager John Schneider has been negotiating with the Denver Broncos restricted free agent wide receiver Brandon Marshall about a possible deal.
"There has been some talk," Carroll said today at the NFL owners meetings, per the Denver Post. "John has handled that so far. But it’s very preliminary."
Negotiating a contract is the first step in creating some action for Marshall, who has already visited the Seahawks. Since a negotiation is still going on, it’s likely that a trade will be worked out between the Seahawks and the Broncos. Putting on the Seahawks jerseys may give Marshall a new chance to prove his value as a star running back.

Broncos WR Marshall testified for the murder of CB Williams
On Friday’s trial of Willie Clark, who was suspected to murder former Denver Broncos cornerback Darrent Williams, Broncos wide receiver Brandon Marshall was present to testify. He recognized Clark to be one of the men he saw in a confrontation before the shooting but could not confirm he was the one who shot his former teammate to death.
Recalling the shooting on New Year’s Day, Marshall said he got a phone call from someone telling him what had happened and saw former teammate Javon Walker in a bloodstained shirt at a hospital, clutching a necklace that belonged to Williams. It has been reported that Williams’ death was the biggest reason for Brandon’s intension to take off Broncos jersey and leave for somewhere else. It’s possibly true considering his emotional manner on the trial.
The 26-year-old Clark is on trial for first-degree murder, 16 counts of attempted murder and other charges but maintains he is innocent and his defense attorneys argue he is a scapegoat as there is no direct evidence proving that he was the one who shot.

Broncos WR Marshall fully in practice but unclear for preseason debut
The Denver Broncos Tuesday practice was the team’s first workout since last Saturday’s exhibition game against the Seattle Seahawks. Wide receiver Brandon Marshall was fully involved in the practice; however, Coach Josh McDaniels still did not feel like giving him confirmed status on Sunday’s preseason game against the Chicago Bears.
McDaniels said it was too early to say whether Marshall would make his debut in Sunday’s game even if the Bears have been ready to have former Broncos quarterback Jay Cutler play in the exhibition.
“We’ll find out as we go through the week,” McDaniels said. “When the players are ready to play, they’ll play.”
Having conflict with McDaniels, Marshall had missed majority of Broncos practices this offseason. The Pro Bowl receiver has spent his time on seeking a new contract and asking to be traded after the Broncos did not act on the contract request. He did not take part in any of the Broncos preseason games yet, missing exhibition opener against San Francisco with an injury and being kept out of the Seattle exhibition.
The Broncos put Marshall on the latest depth chart as a No. 1 receiver, however, they also limited him largely to scout team duties after Marshall told reporters that he had not been up to speed on the new playbook. So it is really hard to say whether Marshall has been ready for his preseason debut while McDaniels said that the team is “getting ready to play the season.”

Broncos WR Marshall will probably get used to his situation
Recovered from his hip injury, Brandon Marshall participated in the Denver Broncos Wednesday practice with the scout team. It seemed that he will probably stay on field without change even though he continued to be disgruntled with team management and his current contract.
That is good for the team. The Broncos seemed neither wanting the receiver to leave nor giving him a new contract. Since Marshall is still playing with them on the field, the Broncos is willing to put up with whatever he says.
As for Marshall himself, he knows well about his current situation and had to get used to it because of his off-the-field issues and his injured hip. Change is not possible, and he will just have to accept the current contract which will pay him $2.198 million this season.
