Raiders' Brandon Marshall: Re-signs with Oakland
Brandon Marshall signed with the Oakland Raiders on Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.Marshall was let go by the Raiders before the season began, but the team brought him back to possibly have an immediate role on defense. Vontaze Burfict has been suspended for the rest of the year, so the team's only middle linebacker is Dakota Allen, who hasn't actually been deployed on defense yet. Marshall is just two years removed from his third 100-tackle season, so he's in line to start as soon as Sunday's game against the Lions.

Raiders' Brandon Marshall: Gets incentive-laden contract
Brandon Marshall's one-year contract with Oakland has a base value of $1.1 million, with $350,000 guaranteed and up to $3 million available via incentives, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.The contract suggests Marshall is expected to stick on the 53-man roster but won't be handed a starting job. He'll compete for snaps in a linebacker group that includes Tahir Whitehead, Vontaze Burfict, Marquel Lee, Nicholas Morrow and Jason Cabinda. There should ultimately be at least one serviceable IDP among the bunch, but it's tough to say which player(s) will emerge. Whitehead led the Oakland Raiders in defensive snaps (1,025) and tackles (126) last season, but Marshall and Burfict were better players before injuries derailed their careers. Marshall was healthy at the end of 2018 and will turn 30 in September.

Raiders' Brandon Marshall: Reaches deal with Oakland
Brandon Marshall signed a one-year, $4.1 million deal with the Oakland Raiders on Thursday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.Marshall comes to Oakland to form an interesting linebacking corps that otherwise includes Tahir Whitehead and ex-Bengal Vontaze Burfict. However, it's not clear who will take on the primary middle linebacker role in this system, making it hard to guess whether Marshall can return to his 100-tackle ways with the Raiders in 2019. The seven-year pro topped 102 tackles in all three seasons in which he's played at least 14 games.

Brandon Marshall: Visiting Oakland
Brandon Marshall has scheduled a visit with the Raiders for Thursday, Josina Anderson of ESPN reports.The Broncos declined to exercise Marshall's contract option for 2019, allowing him to test the waters of free agency. The 29-year-old was banged up through 2018, but is only one season removed from racking up 106 tackles (75 solo), three sacks, one forced fumble and a touchdown. Oakland could completely revamp its linebacking corps by signing Marshall, as they already signed Vontaze Burfict this offseason.

Broncos' Brandon Marshall: Expected to hit open market
The Denver Broncos told Brandon Marshall they won't exercise his contract option for 2019, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.Marshall handled most of Denver's defensive snaps through the first seven games of the 2018 campaign, but he never regained his starting job after a Week 8 knee injury led to five consecutive absences. While he's undoubtedly declined from his 2014-15 peak, Marshall is 29 years old and just two seasons removed from a 106-tackle, three-sack campaign as a 16-game starter in 2017. He should at least find a chance to compete for a starting job, while Denver figures to move forward with Josey Jewell and/or an offseason acquisition next to Todd Davis at inside linebacker. It doesn't seem especially likely, but the Broncos haven't ruled out the possibility of re-signing Marshall if he's willing to accept a smaller contract, per Mike Klis of 9News Denver.
