Browns Reportedly Trying to Deal Brady Quinn to Denver for Brandon Marshall

Denver Broncos superstar Brandon Marshall expects to get traded after March 5th when the free agency floodgates open in the NFL. The only question seems to be where and now reports are saying that the Browns are working towards a deal that would send Brady Quinn out west for the troubled wide receiver.

Per ESPN Insider:

We're still in the preliminary -- mostly speculative -- stages of the Brandon Marshall sweepstakes. Here's what we know: he's all but done for in Denver, as we continue to read things like this from Mike Klis of the Denver Post: "Today most likely is goodbye to All Things Brandon Marshall."

OK, but where does he wind up? Any team could use a player as talented on the field as Marshall, but not every team wants to deal with the possibility of his off-the-field issues. We've speculated that the Pats and Cowboys would be two teams on the cusp of Super Bowl runs who might take a shot, and on Sunday, Klis added the Cleveland Browns to the mix. Even more intriguing, Klis thinks that the trade could kill two birds with one stone: get rid of Marshall, and get a QB back, as he thinks the Browns could be interested in swapping Brady Quinn.

Considering the Browns have a plethora of picks in the upcoming draft, you would have to imagine that it would include the Browns sending some picks Denver's way in exchange for the talented receiver. The Browns are very thin at the position but one wonders what Eric Mangini has to think of getting another head case as his top target. There is one difference, however, between Braylon Edwards and Marshall. Marshall can actually catch the football.
