Broncos Returning Fines Back to Marshall

The Broncos organization has decided to retract the fines placed upon Brandon Marshall during preseason training camp according to Fox Sport’s Jay Glazer.  If you’ll remember Marshall was yanked from practice and suspended along with heavy fines back in August for batting down balls thrown to him, punting balls away from support staff, walking during running drills, and basically being belligerent.

The team has since made amends with Brandon after cleaning up his act and performing like the receiver of yesteryear. Owner Pat Bowlen even came out and said some future cash will be headed his way.  It looks like the Broncos are going beyond that statement and making the goodwill gesture to the tune of $73,000 with the rescinding of past fines. 

Brandon has made good on his promises of turning his act around.  He played his role early in the season while not in the starting lineup and didn’t make an issue of being used as a situational player.  When given the opportunities this year he has made big plays against the Cowboys and Patriots.  The Broncos are hoping all of this grace will pay off with Brandon long term.  As this article points out, it seems to be working for Denver and Cincinnati to put up with “troubled” players , that there IS a light at the end of the tunnel.  Lets hope so, after most of the team’s faithful were hoping to get at best a mid range draft pick in trade for the star wideout, there is optimism for Marshalls’ future with the team.
