Bowlen: “Significant raise” coming for Marshall

Denver Broncos owner Pat Bowlen said all the things wide receiver Brandon Marshall wanted to hear Tuesday. Per NFL.com —

“Brandon understands that he’s got a year left on his present deal, but if he keeps playing the way he is, he’s going to get a very significant raise — a much better contract,” Bowlen said Tuesday at the NFL Fall League Meeting. “That’s the way it goes, and Brandon has accepted that.”

Marshall has done more than accepted it — he’s embraced it. After a sluggish start to the season, Marshall’s production has exploded, hauling in 17 catches for 222 yards and four touchdowns over the past three weeks.

With every game-winning touchdown, Marshall is daring Bowlen to literally put his money where his mouth is, and it appears a lucrative end is in sight.
