Could the Broncos Trade Brandon Marshall For Brady Quinn?

Rumors have been circulating that wide receiver Brandon Marshall will be playing his last game in a Denver Broncos helmet at this evening’s Pro Bowl. The team is expected to trade the disgruntled wide receiver this offseason.

One landing spot that has been speculated for Marshall is the Cleveland Browns. The rumor initially pointed to Browns playmaker Josh Cribbs and draft picks being involved in the deal but new reports link quarterback Brady Quinn to the discussion.

The trade would fill holes for both teams. Denver needs to rid themselves of Marshall, and picking up an explosive weapon like Cribbs would bring a new dynamic to their offense. Brady Quinn is also a solid back up and could possibly challenge Kyle Orton for the starting quarterback job.

Cleveland needs help, well, everywhere. Marshall is one of the most physically gifted wide outs in the sport and he would replace Braylon Edwards — who was traded to the New York Jets mid-season — as the team’s number one option.

Marshall for Quinn is purely speculation at this point.

Other teams that could be considered front-runners to acquire Marshall would include the Redskins, Seahawks, Ravens, Dolphins, and Cowboys.

Wherever Marshall ends up, I hope he gives more effort than this at practice:
