NFL: Denver In A Catch-22

Mike Klis, of The Denver Post, reports Denver Broncos WR Brandon Marshall was caught on video acting unprofessional during the team's practice Wednesday, Aug. 26. Marshall nonchalantly worked through a high-step running drill between cushioned obstacles during the practice, and then punting the ball away after the drill was finished. Marshall did not take his turn in running routes or catching passes in another drill, instead accepting the task of using a blocking dummy to knock receivers off their route. Marshall was caught batting a ball away at the end of the same drill.

The Skinny: Marshall has been suspended by the Broncos for "conduct" reasons and is trying to do whatever he can to usher his exit out of Denver. It worked for Jay Cutler, but if the Broncos give in to Marshall, they will be setting a very setting a very dangerous precedent (If you don't want to be here, just act like a jerk and we will get rid of you). If they don't get rid of Marshall, they are risking losing the locker room, kind of a Catch-22 situation. So far, rookie head coach Josh McDaniels has really not started out like his mentor Bill Belichick.
