The former Broncos malcontent was rewarded by Miami this week with a four-year contract extension that reportedly guarantees him $24 million dollars. And what did Marshall do over the past year to motivate Miami to shower him with that much dough? Well, I have to be honest. I'm still trying to figure that out.
Maybe it's the fact that he just passed the one-year anniversary of his last arrest. Or maybe he pledged not to skip the Dolphins' mandatory team workouts like he did in Denver last June. Perhaps he even gave Bill Parcells his word that he wouldn't act like a spoiled child, purposely dropping passes during a practice for at least a year or two.
Don't get me wrong. I know Marshall is a tremendous on-field talent on game day, and I fully expect him to have a terrific debut season in Miami while he's enjoying his honeymoon period with the Dolphins. He's undoubtedly giddy over his new opportunity, his new surroundings and his freshly fattened wallet. But the guy repeatedly has found ways to get into trouble. Former Broncos quarterback Jay Cutler noticed it back in 2007 after one of Marshall's many off-field adventures that created distraction and drama for the club.
"It's just something about him. He's always into something," Cutler said.
That's a fact. Marshall's been charged with disorderly conduct, simple battery and false imprisonment during relationships with two women. He served a year of probation after a DUI incident, went through anger management counseling to get some charges against him dropped and has been suspended in the past by the NFL and the Broncos. And now he can make the streets of Miami his new playground with $24 million in his bank account. Does this seem like a very bad idea to anyone else?

I think Marhsall has changed and I really hope he stays clean. I still love the move.
