Beef it up a bit on the front end espn.go.com/blog/new-york-jets/post/_/id/51601/jets-retool-contract-of-wide-receiver-brandon-marshallJets retool contract of wide receiver Brandon Marshall The New York Jets' busy offseason continues as the team recently retooled the contract of veteran wide receiver Brandon Marshall, acquired in a trade this offseason, per a league source. The maximum value of his amended pact is $26 million over the next three seasons, up from $24.3 million, including an additional $1.3 million in full guarantees. Marshall was scheduled to earn up to $7.7 million this season in the form of a $7.5 million base salary and a $200,000 workout bonus, but his new deal includes a fully guaranteed base salary of $9 million for 2015, though his workout bonus has been eliminated. Marshall's 2016 base salary compensation rose from $7.9 million to $9.5 million, which is guaranteed for injury only. Marshall's 2017 base salary was narrowed from $8.3 million (plus $200,000 more in the form of a workout bonus) to $7.5 million, with a $700,000 de-escalator clause for any Super Bowl victory during the years of the contract. In sum, Marshall's new deal gives him the chance to earn $2.7 million more during the next two years, though he can earn $1 million less in 2017 than previously scheduled. It's the latest in a string of transactions for the Jets, who also acquired quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick and running back Zac Stacy in trades and signed cornerbacks Darrelle Revis, Antonio Cromartie and Buster Skrine in free agency, amid other moves. Marshall, 31, is coming off of a 61-catch season with the Bears in 2014. |

What "competitive situation"? Players don't get to choose where they are traded; Marshall wasn't a free agent. The Jets didn't "have to" do anything to sweeten the deal. I'm not sure what this even means. Edit - maybe Cimini is saying this was an unreported part of trade negotiations and Marshall did have a say? Twitter is not really the proper medium to be breaking that news, especially when he has a reoccurring column. |

Marshall, 31, is coming off of a 61-catch season with the Bears in 2014. well, imo the jets are seeing no reason to keep any cap money for this season. they've already signed their draft picks and the only contract of note not taken care of is wilk's. i'm not sure why they gave marshall a raise. i know some posters have said it was part of the trade deal. not a big deal since it only impacts the team for 2 seasons. as for marshall's performance, if he gets 61 receptions to go with 85 for decker and maybe another 50 each for kerley and amaro, that's about 15 per game. very achievable. keeps genot from passing much more than 25 attempts per game. |

Would give him some leverage in trade negotiations. |

Hate to say it but I think we were bidding against ourselves.

Why would you expect Decker to have more catches than Marshall? it would seem it would be the other way around if anything. |

Hate to say it but I think we were bidding against ourselves. I doubt it...another team would be willing to give up a 5th rounder for Marshall. Aside from last year he was a perennial pro-bowler, the odds are no-one in the 5th round is gonna give you that kind of production. It was a no brainer to make the trade and if it took a little sugar op top to make him happy/motivated then so be it. The raise isnt going to impact our other signings so I can live with it. |

Let me preface by saying I liked the trade and dont really care about the money. We need a guy that can be a #1 and we have the cap room. Definitely worth the risk. The flip side is that he is 31 and coming off a down year with injuries. He also started his television career. Kind of feels like he has one foot out the door already. And I think he wanted to be in NY to be closer to Inside the NFL. |

And I think he wanted to be in NY to be closer to Inside the NFL. His value as an analyst is only enhanced by a more successful playing career, and surely he knows this. Look at Cris Carter and the analyst gigs he gets despite being a hyperbolic unintelligible fool. I don't think it's fair to paint him as "one foot out the door" when he's living with Eugene and by all accounts character-wise has turned a corner and devoted his life to football. It's certainly possible he views this as a lighthearted romp, but given what we know about him it isn't likely. |
