Broncos use 1st round tender on Brandon Marshall. Jackson, Floyd, Austin, tendered 1st and 3rd.

So if we want Brandon Marshall here is Mike Brown's chance to do so, it will just cost the Bengals to get him. Will we make a try? I doubt it, but you can keep praying and something good might happen. So I guess this means if we are able to sign him we would give up the 21st pick? Somebody let me know cuz I'm not sure.

Ok here we go: PFT

As a result, Marshall can sign with any team. The Broncos have a right to match the offer, and if they don't they receive only a first-round pick as compensation.

$2.521 million payday that applies to the first-round tender.

The Broncos also could be willing to trade Marshall's rights for something less than a first-round pick.
Our guess? Someone with a low first-round pick like the Ravens will sign him to an offer sheet. Whether the offer sheet contains a poison pill remains to be seen.

Adam Schefter tweeted:

"Come and get him: Broncos placed the first-round tender on WR Brandon Marshall."

"Just as Denver placed 1st-round tender on WR Brandon Marshall, Colts did the same on S Antoine Bethea, a former 6th-round pick. "

The Ravens, Bears, and Titans also seem to have some interest in him, so Mike Brown may have to make a bid for him if he doesn't want to play him twice a year if he goes over to the Ravens (Man that would suck!).

Baltimore Sun:

That means a team could acquire Marshall by giving up a first-round pick as compensation. The San Diego Chargers and Dallas Cowboys protected their restricted wide receivers (Vincent Jackson, Malcom Floyd and Miles Austin) with the highest tenders (which would require first- and third-round picks as compensation).

By only giving Marshall a first-round tender, it might be an indication that the Broncos would be willing to negotiate with teams on a trade. The Ravens, who are looking to upgrade at wide receiver, could be interested.

Seahawks wide receiver Nate Burleson also tweeted this:

"I heard about Brandon Marshall possible coming hear but I won’t believe til I see it. He is a monster though!"
