Bengals Reportedly Throwing Around The Idea Of A Brandon Marshall Trade

The Bengals have been connected to quite a few receivers this offseason including Terrell Owens, Antonio Bryant and Chris Chambers. According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, we can now include Broncos WR Brandon Marshall in that group.

Schefter reports the Bengals have had internal discussions regarding a potential trade for the receiver.

Marshall spent Sunday in Seattle, where the Seahawks have been the front-runner for his services. But NFL sources said the Bengals have contemplated, and will continue contemplating, pursuing Marshall. Terrell Owens and Antonio Bryant are among the other players being considered.

Per Schefter, the Bengals are still determining how serious they are about Marshall.

If the other options listed above don’t work out, it’s possible they could make a run at Marshall, who the Broncos reportedly won’t trade for less than a first round pick.

Cincinnati beat writer Joe Reedy suggests the reports regarding Marshall and the Bengals are a smoke screen meant to drive up the price. He does say, however, that Marshall would be a possibility only as a last resort.
