Linebacker Brandon Marshall just signed a huge four-year extension. MHH Analyst Erick Trickel examines whether the Broncos overpaid or not.
Four years, $32 million—with $20 million of it guaranteed. That is the start of the contract for Brandon Marshall. This new four-year deal doesn’t kick in until after the 2016 season, which he will play out under the restricted free agent tender amount of $2.553 million.
Marshall received a $10 million dollar signing bonus, which will have to hold him over until the extension contract kicks in. If he plays out the full contract, he will be 31 years old when it expires after the 2020 season.
