He was drafted in 2006 by the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonprofootball.com\/nfl-teams\/broncos\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Denver Broncos<\/a>. Between then and his signing with Seattle, he has also played for the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonprofootball.com\/nfl-teams\/dolphins\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Miami Dolphins<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonprofootball.com\/nfl-teams\/bears\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Chicago Bears<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonprofootball.com\/nfl-teams\/jets\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">New York Jets<\/a>, and the Giants.

He only put up 154 yards with no touchdowns in five games before being lost to injury for the season. That was despite being only two years removed from a 1,500-yard season. One does have to wonder how much of that was the result of a Giants offense that was struggling to begin with. That said, it&#8217;s still probably fair to say his best years are behind him.<\/p>\n<p>Marshall\u00a0has a career total of 12,215 receiving yards and 82 touchdowns in 12 seasons. He is also not too far from joining the club of 1,000 catches, currently having 959.\u00a0He will look to surpass that mark this season if he can become a big enough part of the rotation.\u00a0While he may be 34 and not be a #1 receiver anymore, he still may have something yet to contribute, especially for a team that was a bit receiver-needy.<\/p>\n<p>Main photo:<br \/>\n<a id=\"h5vaalLaQ19znQEC6C_iOw\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/860680110\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'h5vaalLaQ19znQEC6C_iOw',sig:'e4egHA4vFrowznmso0A4wWtX7pqjU1U49faS3jCl5BU=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'860680110',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Brandon Marshall has signed a one-year deal with the Seattle Seahawks.
