The more time passes without the Seahawks submitting an offer sheet, the more they are telling the Broncos they do not want star wide receiver Brandon Marshall at the expense of the No. 6 overall draft pick. The Seahawks have two this year, No. 6 and No. 14 overall. Rules stipulate that if the Seahawks sign Marshall to an offer sheet, they would have to compensate the Broncos with their original, first-round draft pick, which is the sixth pick in the April 22-24 draft but so far, the Broncos are not willing to budge from getting back a first-round pick in return for Marshall and Seattle isn't budging back.

This would be a risky move for the Seahawks BUT a move that would be worth the risk. Yeah, he got deactivated for the Broncos final game last of the 2009 season. Yeah, he was lazy one practice last year during training camp by just batting down balls from the ball boy. Marshall is a playmaker though. The Seahawks should be shooting themselves if they don't take a risk on Marshall.
I agree, and Denver should be happy with the 14th pick for him. They don't want him and they get a pick in the right spot to draft for their needs.
They could get a far more worthy player than Brandon Marshall for the 6th overall pick in the draft. 14th overall in itself is steep.
