    The issue is can he stay clean? Can he be trusted? He also has major depression issues as well. He sat a whole year, one more positive and he will be facing an indefinite ban. Had flashes of being a force. Had. If let go he is owed a bit over 100,000.

    Marshall has already proven he is a top level WR. Head case? Well we have a few on this team already. He would automatically be plugged in as the #2.
    Maybe he would take a year deal to get a ring.

    I like Marshall but he would need a different mindset if he came here. He is not going to be the guy. He would be an 800 yard 8 TD kind of guy. Will he be happy with that?

    We can't make any WR decisions until we know what we do with Bryant. As much as he disappointed me, I really want to know what this offense would look like with him in it and a completely healthy Ben, Brown and Bell.

    Well he wants a ring so that's huge. I could see the Pats as a landing spot but it seems like him and Belicheat would clash hard. At 32 he probably realizes any contender he goes to he probably isn't going to be "the guy".

    1800 to Brown, 1600 to Marshall ... Ben can spread the remaining 1600 among Bell and the TE/slot. :cool:

    I can see Eli having a big breakout season. Easily 1000+ yards.

    It will be interesting. The ravens and steelers both need pass rushers but both could use more offense. We'll see how their draft philosophies are.

    I think he could do that in his sleep if Bryant comes back. AB and Bryant will draw so much attention that Rogers could get 1 on 1 matchups all day.

    I say get him if the price is right. Because we all know that "ONE MORE" puff off a joint and M. Bryant is outta here !

    He said he's from Pitt and is a Steeler fan... maybe he'd take the discount? Idk, I wouldn't throw too much money or term at him, but if he wants to win bad enough (and be a Steeler bad enough) I'd be happy to have him.

    4 WR set of AB Marshall Bryant and Rogers would be stooooopid. Not to mention Bell or any one of our talented TE's

    Bryant (as much as I like him) is still a question mark and is one strike away from being done. Are Coates and DHB a good enough security blanket? Rogers seems to have the slot locked down, but I don't see him taking too many outside snaps... I think it's at least worth entertaining to see what the price would be and if we could realistically make this a possibility. Then we could focus on the defense in the draft again at Edge, secondary and DE

    Just can't see BM giving up money to come here. Let's face it, the idea with BM on this team would be insanely sick, but players only get a chance or two to get that money, and this may be his last chance

    Honestly, I'd love having Marshall here if the dollars are right. The TV gig co-priority is a bit concerning, but as long as it's only on his off days it may be fine. I think he and Ben would click. I seem to remember them connecting on a deep TD in the Pro Bowl a few years back.

    Was watching Mike and Mike on espn who both said the Pats should look at Marshall as another Gonk, line him up anywhere and they would use his height and strength similar to how they use Gonk in the passing game. I thought about how the Steelers could use him also like a tight end and stretch the field that way. Just dont know how we could pay him what he wants.

    I'm getting more and more sold on the idea of bringing in Marshall on a 2 year deal. In addition to his consistently strong play, he has averages 15.2 gamed played per season, and has never missed more than 3 games in a season. I think he can be a stabilizing force as a #2 receiver opposite AB, and as a Steeler fan his heart and soul would be in every game. It would be more than just a job to him. A deal just makes so much sense.

    Just draft Chris Godwin from Penn State. Kid is for real and if we get him in the 3rd round he will be a steal in the draft.

    Yeah, just let teams double triple cover AB all season long again, while Beckham gets the help he needed....
