Broncos' WR Brandon Marshall: Trade me

Troubled Denver Broncos wide receiver Brandon Marshall has asked the team for a trade, a prominent NFL insider reported Monday.

Adam Schefter told 850 KOA radio that Marshall, who missed a mandatory team minicamp this past weekend, made the request during a meeting with Broncos owner Pat Bowlen on Friday.

Marshall is due $2.2 million this season, the final year of a four-year contract he signed as a rookie. He is reportedly looking to renegotiate.

In addition to missing the mandatory minicamp, Marshall also missed part of the Broncos' optional passing camp earlier this spring after hip surgery. At the time his agent, Kennard McGuire, said it wasn't a ploy to seek a new contract.

Marshall has been openly critical of the Broncos' medical staff which, in his opinion, misdiagnosed his injury. He has been rehabbing in Orlando with an independent medical team.

Despite Marshall's request, Schefter does not believe the Broncos will trade their most potent offensive threat.

"He's not going anywhere," Schefter said. "The Broncos say they're not going to trade him."

Schefter said other teams were closely monitoring the situation.

Coincidentally, the Broncos signed veteran wide receiver Brandon Lloyd on Monday. Terms of the deal were not released.
