TheAnswer385Forum VeteranOPThats the deal the dolphins reached with Brandon Marshall via ESPN FIRST TAKE.
24 mil guaranteed
Adam Schefter of ESPN reports Marshall will get $50 million over the next five years as part of a four-year, $47 million extension tacked on to his scheduled $2.5 million salary in 2010.
This deal essentially matches Larry Fitzgerald's last contract and arguably makes Marshall the league's highest paid receiver, depending on you count the money.

#1dolphinsfanNew MemberIt is basically a five year 50 millions dollars deal because of his first round tender
GARDENHEADSupporterHopefully, all this money will prevent him from punting the football during training camp!
Seriously, the guy deserves to be paid as a top-5 WR. Aint my money!
Tanking is like taking a Greyhound bus cross-country. Sure, it may eventually get you where you want to go, but it’s messy and unpleasant and uncomfortable, it stinks, the entire time you’ll be wishing you weren’t there, and not everybody along for the ride is going to make it to the end. - Quote stolen from Deadspin

proven WR's are a good investment
elite WR's are money in the bank
somethings require investment

BLITZNew MemberI don't have any issues with that contract. Marshall is arguably the best WR in the entire league...
IN TUNA WE TRUST!!!...
surferosaNew MemberHes also just turned 26 last month - so he has a long career in front of him.

After that tho, definitely. He's better than Ochocinco, edwards, jackson, Boldin, etc.

I'd place him above Moss. If you take age into consideration, Marshall > Moss is a no-contest.

Not our money. Just get us to the superbowl so I can shell my 2k for a chance to see my team in a superbowl.

I think he is better then Randy Moss at this point in Moss's Career
MuckRetired AdminIt's really not much more than Dansby got.
Marshall's a bigger character risk for sure. But he's also a better player.
Make the throwback uniforms permanent!

What really matters is this: He is better then Edwards and Holmes. :yes:
finyank13New MemberI dont care about the money, as a Yankee fan, hate all you want, but I am glad the ownership actually is investing in the players to help this team win a championship, instead of pocketing it....It is Ross's problem, not ours, I want playmakers on this team, and you have to pay for playmakers.....

It is ours. The fans are going to pay those salaries. And if there's not enough money, that's when you'll see ticket prices rise, etc.
HULKFishForum VeteranGreat investment... You know Ross may have had some say on this as well. He talked about how he wanted some star power on the field as well as in the stands... WIN-WIN situation!

To be fair, it's also about being wise with your money... not just spending it.

Uh, no. Moss was off and running from the very get go. More yards, more TDs, higher YPC throughout their first years, even if you throw away Marshalls rookie season.
Plus, moss was that Deep threat. Marshall is that big play threat, but not necessarily a deep threat.

No im not saying he was better when moss was his age i must have wrote that wrong but i mean right now he is better then Moss mainly because of moss's age

Until Randy Moss actually shows his age, he's still the better player unfortunately. 1200yds, 13 tds.
Marshall - 1100 yds 10 tds.
But Marshall with Chad Henne? 1700yds 25 tds. No doubt.

If you want to drive a Ferrari you gotta pay up. It's funny how the Jets fans all have buyer's remorse now and are saying, "Couldn't Tanny have waited a couple more days and gone after Marshall instead." The Jets got the busted up Yugo and we got the Bentley. They were running a poll on Gang Green about who had the best receivers in the AFC East (they only mentioned the Jets and Pats). Now we just moved ahead of both of them. Revis is going to be watching Marshall fly by him for some huge TD's/ :up:

i still think he is better player then moss right now. and no doubt with 25 TDs and 1700 yards thats a little bit of a reach i am thinking more around 1400 and 15 TDs

I'm listening to the Dan Patrick show and they said Marshall's first four years were better then Jerry Rice's (if you just look at the numbers). Warren Sapp said he doesn't know what the Broncos are doing, and why would the Broncos be inviting Dez Bryant in and letting Marshall go. Good point.
