Mike135 Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 ESPN Jets reporter Rich Cimini expects the team to release Brandon Marshall this offseason. Marshall is entering the final year of his contract and is coming off arguably the worst season of his career. He had a 10-year-low 59 catches for 788 yards, which marked just the second time since 2006 that Marshall was held under 1,000 yards. He also found the end zone just three times after scoring a combined 45 touchdowns the previous four years. Everything can't be blamed on Marshall, however, as the quarterback play was truly atrocious. But Marshall turns 33 in March and is due a non-guaranteed $7.5 million. The Jets are going nowhere fast.

BRONX DUDE Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 I'm NOT surprised. He is slowing down very quickly. Also his HANDS OF STONE don't help. 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetFaninMI Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Since Marshall has said he would take a pay cut to stay I could see them releasing him and him re-signing for less. It all depends on what they do with QB situation. If they sign a veteran they will keep Marshall IMO. They will need a veteran WR to try and contend. I said try. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Spoot-Face Posted January 18, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted January 18, 2017 I loved him here his first year, but with how abysmal we've become it's probably for the best. Let the young guys step up. I wouldn't mind him for around the vet minimum, but I highly doubt he'd take that. We probably ain't going anywhere next season, and he doesn't do much for the development of our young guys. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he necessarily was. I think it's purely a business decision. He's older, seemed to struggle with some light injuries, and we are not a win now team. And with the emergence of Enunwa and Anderson, our WR core without him doesn't look as bad as it's been in the past several years--not to mention Decker, if he can stay healthy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fltflo Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 We need to develop the young receivers. It's time for them to be the main target of our new QB. We will still have Eric Decker for veteran leadership of the group. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike135 Posted January 18, 2017 Author Share Posted January 18, 2017 7.5 doesn't seem like a lot for a guy with Marshall's ability. If they're really letting him go and not just trying to get Marshall to take a little less, they could be in full rebuild. Basically admitting the QBs here now are a waste and they're going for a QB early in the 2018 draft. Otherwise it doesn't make sense to me. Any young QB (or any QB in general) would kill to throw to BM. Especially in the end zone. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SR24 Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Not necessarily a cut he had to make but this makes me wonder if we're going to be big players for Trumaine Johnson and Stephon Gilmore this offseason. Also speaks to the confidence in Enunwa and Anderson at wide out. Marshall seemed like a cancer in the locker room and gave up half way through the year another veteran on the decline quick. I'm not mad about it. Macs cleaning house 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joewilly12 Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Not having quality QB play and a decent OC hurt Marshall this season. He deserves an opportunity to restructure and he should keep his damn mouth shut. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrazyCarl40 Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Why not try to trade him? I can think of a great number of teams that would trade a late round pick for him and his manageable salary. Also, it's Cimini. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Integrity28 Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Marshall led the bring back Fitz brigade, clearly added to locker room discord, and played mediocre all year. It no longer appears he's the stud he once was. Oh well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neckdemon Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 The part that surprises me is marshall would take a paycut to stay on this sh*t team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Harris Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Pure math. Cimini is speculating but he's right. Marshall's age and zero dead money and the fact he's only signed for one more year on a team with a stable of young cheap wideouts playing for a team going nowhere in 2017 makes this almost a no brainer. However- $7.5 mill one year deal seems a reasonable amount for a wideout with B. Marsh's credentials- perhaps he has late round trade value for a contender. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post JoJoTownsell1 Posted January 18, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted January 18, 2017 There is a reason we got him for a 5th round pick. Now he's a couple of years older and seemingly more interested in his TV gig. He can still play but he is mentally unstable and a locker room headache when things go south. Not worth the 7 million. I'd rather use that money towards a left tackle. Wr happens to be one of the positions we are stacked with talent. Decker returning, enunwa emerging, Anderson developing and guys like jalin, Peake and Devin with talent. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bealeb319 Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 If we don't cut Decker we should not cut marshal the two of them feed off each other and compliment each other nicely. If we are going to develop a qb next season it would be good for him to have solid targets and not just our young kids who did better than expected last yearSent from my LG-D850 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyCarl40 Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Okay so this Cimini nugget comes from this article: http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/page/32for32x171118/predicting-biggest-offseason-change-all-32-teams In said article each ESPN team coverage guy predicts the biggest change coming for their respective team. It's a prediction, not inside information. Like the Cowboys realeasing Romo or the Bills releasing Taylor. Carry on.
