Bengals emerge as a possible destination for Marshall, though Seattle stills leads the pack
According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Bengals are considering making a play for Pro Bowl receiver Brandon Marshall. The plan would be to get a beast to roam the opposite side of the field for Ochocinco, theoretically giving Carson Palmer a one-two punch as good as any in the league.
However, thanks to the magic of Twitter, we get word from Bengals beat writer Joe Reedy that it’s all a sham. Reedy asserts that it’s only a ploy to drive up the price with Seattle.
Either way, Marshall is currently in the Emerald City talking to Seahawks officials about the possibility of playing there. Seattle has to decide if it wants to put down an offer sheet, which essentially amounts to committing the #6 pick in the draft to Denver, to satisfy the first-round tender price the Broncos placed on Marshall as a restricted free agent.
