Trouble Brewing in Seattle? Expect Storm If Seahawks Bring in Brandon Marshall

While NFL teams pursue buying free agents, the Seattle Seahawks are amongst to make a sudden transition in its depleted roster, shuffling to percolate in an undermined NFC West division.

Normally, when a team is rebuilding to wipe away misery, the franchise seeks to cruise in a new direction and avoid any weasels, egomaniacs, or problematic receivers whose cancerous nonsense ruptures consensus.


Except in the Pacific Northwest, where the gloomy skies usually forecast scattered showers, but also a Careerbuilder.com starting point for head coach Pete Carroll, first impression matters given his coaching letdowns in the past.

Times fizzled in the NFL, failing to coach the pros as exemplary like during a remarkable nine year stint at USC where he mastered the inconceivable after erasing a stodgy psyche.

If you want to call this a redemptive period for Carroll, signing Brandon Marshall, an enigmatic receiver is a bit risky and a heavy burden.

It’s not exactly a must-needed addition, certainly a gigantic experiment to sign an iffy receiver with much uncertainty.

Nonetheless, maybe there’s some goodness to Marshall, maybe he has mellowed after all the trouble he created in Denver. Then again, maybe he’s a ruckus when it doesn’t work in his favor.

The Seahawks are scheduled to visit Marshall on Saturday, regarding a contract offer according to sources. It’s a franchise uncaring of the baggage and troubles he presents, something a rebuilding and young franchise doesn’t need.

Because he’s apathetic, juvenile and equivocal, it’s difficult to rehabilitate from the agonizing when era Seahawks fans mourned pathetic debacles.

So why is the Seahawks expressing interest, willing to spend enormous bucks on a troublemaker and pestering diva?

Gathering a clear understanding, the franchise needs a prolific receiver to assemble a quality tandem in the receiving department with the aging veteran T.J. Houshmandzadeh and to strengthen a motionless receiving origin losing free agent receiver Nate Burleson to the Detroit Lions.

Aside all the transitions, any player other than Marshall is a fitting piece to Seattle’s nucleus.

For those recalling the time Tim Ruskell worried much about character and dignity, now is the moment for him to ponder a risky decision that could put the Seahawks entire season in jeopardy.

Truth is, he’s the notorious player as of late, the laughingstock of the league for his foolish acts. Not only is he a mischief-maker, Marshall is a blockbuster receiver on the market this offseason, even though his marketability has faded for his arrogant, turbulent and egotistic conduct.

Despite all absurdity, he’s coming off his third consecutive season with at least 100 completed catches, so Marshall is well-deserving of a long-term contract in a change of scenery, but just not in Seattle.

He had three straight 1,000-yard seasons, all in Denver where he became a nuisance for the accusations of domestic violence and disrespecting and abusing women. There was more poor judgment in recent memory.

He had faced arrests for battery, disorderly conduct and driving under the influence. Stupidity is one thing, but ignorance is another, certainly the mind of Marshall.

This is awful for a rookie head coach reestablishing a reputation in the National Football League, with plenty of headaches in the first season as Carroll can see what type of team he’s coaching and where there’s much need for improvement.

Bringing abroad trouble to blend in with an unknown roster, isn’t a way to preface a new foundation, but a way to initiate turbulence.

Instead of adding havoc, the Seahawks is a franchise needing to ponder. That’s bad to know this renovating organization seems desperate and bold enough to sign a psychotic athlete.

To the populace in Seattle, remember he dragged down humor and urgency in Denver.

Fine, disagree with my premise, but he divided a unanimous and talented team, firmed to win the AFC West until the Broncos collapsed midway in the season.

Early in the regular-season last year, Denver’s coach Josh McDaniels handed Marshall a suspension as a disciplinary punishment of detrimental to the team.

I’m curious to know whether hearing this makes Seattle reconsider before making a contract offer.

I hope executives and the coaching staff think twice.

McDaniels sensed that Marshall was irresponsible and indifferent, when he refused to practice because of a hamstring injury. There’s no question that he’s a special talent, but his natural gift could explode at anytime.

He’s a risky addition, consisting of baggage no team really needs.

If Seattle signs Marshall, trouble might be brewing in the rainy skies.

Broncos' Rocky Troubles Avoidable, Must Trade Marshall

Seemingly, the irony of wide receivers is that most are starting to convert into well-behaved heroines, shaking off their moody ethics. Before imploding into insubordinate wideouts, in New England, Randy Moss has mellowed into a primary target for Tom Brady.

Terrell Owens stopped crying and has evolved into an integral superstar in Buffalo, grabbing attention at a local airport when he arrived. And Chad Ocho Cinco is seemingly content in stabilizing Cincinnati.

With unity spreading around most teams, the Mile High City is amid turbulence and surrounded by an unhinged soap opera that has lasted longer than the Days of Our Lives. When a disgruntled Brandon Marshall indicated misery at practice, times became rocky and a ruckus developed.

The Denver Broncos punished arguably their best player with a suspension for his conduct detrimental to the team. Assuming rookie coach Josh McDaniels wants to dismiss any player that plagues fortune in his first season, their primary option is to trade Marshall.

Getting rid of a dispirited player prevents slight problems from escalating into serious problems. The Broncos situation is just like a dreadful marriage, among a couple, which will never work out if one individual in the relationship is dissatisfied.

That is exactly what McDaniels, the coaching staff and executives are experiencing in Denver, a propitious receiver who isn’t satisfied. Because of Marshall’s frustration, insisting that he was upset with the team’s misdiagnosis of a hip injury that required offseason surgery, it has produced enough tension to finally wave good-riddance.

There’s no question Marshall is an elite receiver who had 206 receptions the past two seasons, but his off-the-field misconduct is unnecessary, at a time when Denver is still rebuilding and adapting to newly acquired Kyle Orton.

Having an egregious attitude and unlawful troubles off the field, is why Denver refused to give Marshall a new contract. Ever since he asked for a long-term deal, his emotions abruptly reversed into a self-centered and arrogant receiver, who still hasn’t realized it’s about the team and not the individual.

If the Broncos trade their top diva, it won’t benefit them this season. Instead it revokes disastrous nuisance from making a season in limbo more fragile than anticipated. But dealing him isn’t easy, and is seemingly inevitable. Because his reputation comprises of distasteful humor, Marshall’s marketability is devalued from most team’s standpoints.

He’s the problem-child in the league. He’s the disappointed one. He’s the newest laughingstock.

And with problems like that, he’s obviously a risk. But there’s one team amenable to take on the dispirited receiver, optimistic they can uplift his mentality. So were the New York Jets tampering with Marshall?

After collapsing a year ago, the Jets weren’t efficient in moving the ball down the field. And with a mobile quarterback as proficient as Mark Sanchez, a speedy receiver blends to construct a lethal quarterback and receiver tandem in the tough AFC East division.

It wouldn’t be difficult to ensure that the Jets would compile more than 31.5 percent of receiving yards. Following reports from ESPN’s insider Adam Schefter, the Jets are interested in the troubled wideout, but unsure if they are willing to deal Harris.

For a moment, there were talks Marshall could reunite with former quarterback Jay Cutler in Chicago. The Bears are another team without a prolific receiver, and the Windy City seems like a perfect location to once again play alongside Cutler. Since Marshall was his favorite target, he’s familiar with his style and approach, and can quickly foster into a primary receiver and regain stardom.

Whichever team is willing to take on the indecisive Marshall, it is obvious the Broncos must trade him and it’s evident that he has no intentions in repairing a fractured relationship. Bearing with ongoing issues involving Marshall is enough to implode solidity and divide a team. And it even looks bad on McDaniels, if he fails to resolve the matter after trading off a dreary Cutler.

Holding on to a troubled player who walked as the rest of his teammates ran in pre-practice warm-ups, kicked the ball skyward, and knocked down passes instead of catching them are good explanations in trading away Marshall. He’s now the equivalent to an old Moss, Ochio Cinco and T.O., a superstar who continues to infamously wreck his reputation.

But something has to be done, with McDaniels and the Broncos controlling the leverage. That’s when you wave and say good-riddance.
