PLANTATION, Fla. -- Brandon Marshall walked into the room with a clean slate and a new contract that makes him one of the NFL's best-paid receivers. No wonder he wore a grin from earring to earring.
Marshall
One day after being traded by the Denver Broncos to the Miami Dolphins for two second-round draft picks, Marshall held a 20-minute news conference Thursday. Charming and gracious, he said all the right things: He wants to be the best receiver in the NFL while helping his new team win, and because he has learned from past mistakes, the Dolphins need not worry that he'll get into further trouble.
They're gambling he won't. Hours after the trade, the Dolphins gave Marshall a four-year contract extension, and he'll make an average of about $10 million a year through 2014.
If that makes Marshall the face of the franchise, he's fine with the role.
