It was reported that the Chicago Bears have targeted Brandon Marshall as their No. 1 wide receiver for 2010 season, not only because he was good in doing his job but also he an old friends of Jay Cutler. However, recent move in Denver may not support Bears’ plan.
The Denver Broncos just offered a first-round tender to Marshall on Wednesday, making it more difficult for Marshall to put on Bears jersey. The tender means that the Bears will have to send a first-round draft pick to the Broncos if they want to sign away Marshall, but the Broncos already own Bears’ first-round pick for 2010 for last year’s Cutler trade.
The Bears could make another trade with another team to get a first-round pick for Marshall, but that is unlikely to happen as there are still other options in the free market. It’s just not bad to sign the old version of Marshall, Terrell Owens, with a reasonable contract.

Broncos have not decided if Marshall will play on Saturday
The Denver Broncos wide receiver Brandon Marshall missed the preseason game at San Francisco last week for attending his court case in Atlanta. Considering his recent performance, he might miss another preseason game against the Seattle Seahawks Saturday night.
Marshall has been unhappy with the Broncos over their refusal to give him a new contract or trade him. He also felt upset when he knew that players were told by a staffer not to say they were happy for him after acquittal on battery charges last week. He skipped quite a few days of practices and has fallen behind of the Broncos’ new offense. Since returning to the practice field, Marshall had spent two days working almost exclusively with the scout team.
That may be the main reason why the team still hesitated in deciding whether to let Marshall play on Saturday’s preseason game. The Broncos also has not decided on whether to have safety Brian Dawkins make his debut in a broncos jersey because the player just returned to practice this week after a surgery repairing his injured right hand.

Woman testified in Broncos WR Marshall's battery case
On Thursday, Rasheedah Watley, ex-girlfriend of Denvor Broncos wide receiver Brandon Marshall, testified in a battery case that Marshall committed domestic violence to her.
Marshall was on trial Thursday for he was charged of misdemeanor battery after a dispute with Watley at the Atlanta condominium they shared in the March of 2008. Watley told a jury of four women and two men that Marshall shoved her into furniture, carried her over his shoulder and threw her on the bed more than once and hit her in the lip. A police officer also testified that he came upon Marshall outside the condo with a bloody hand and Watley was inside with a bloody lip. Watley said Marshall did that to her just because she received a text message from a male friend.
It was not the first time Marshall was involved into a lawsuit. In March 2007, he was arrested after Watley said he used his vehicle to block her taxi. In October 2007, he was arrested for DUI. And in last September, he pleaded guilty to driving while ability-impaired and was sentenced to a year of probation.
