Hey, look the Broncos said something publicly and then did something completely different in private. This is just shocking news! The Broncos never do things like this!

Can you tell that I’m being sarcastic? Anyway, here is the report from Rotoworld:

NFL insider Adam Schefter writes on his Twitter page that the Broncos are willing to listen to offers for Brandon Marshall.
The Broncos “won’t make them, but will take them,” Schefter says, adding that he believes the club would part with its top receiver for a first-round pick. Denver already traded its 2010 top pick to move up in the second round of this year’s draft for CB Alphonso Smith. Marshall is a holdout risk as he recovers from hip surgery, wants a new contract, and has demanded a trade.

This is a really interesting situation that is developing because there are still teams that would part with mid-round picks for the big playmaking wide receiver. Off the top of my head, I can think that the Jets are a team that really need the type of target that Marshall is. They went back and forth internally about signing Plaxico Burress and still might be interested in him. Now, there is a younger, faster maybe better receiver on the market that might be available for a 2nd and a 4th. Other teams that could be interested include the Bucs, and maybe on a real outside chance the Giants.
