The Facts:
It's not exactly a secret in the NFL that Marshall would like to leave Denver. But Mike Klis
writes in today's Denver Post that the reasons for Marshall wanting to leave have been somewhat misunderstood, and have to do with more than just a desire to get paid more, or personal differences with coach Josh McDaniels. Klis writes, citing several people close to Marshall, that the January 1, 2007, murder of teammate Darrent Williams continues to torment Marshall.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
As PFT's Michael David Smith reminds readers, Marshall was with Williams just minutes before he was shot and killed, and Marshall was allegedly involved in an altercation at a nightclub that may have had something to do with the shooting. The trial of Willie Clark, the man charged with murdering Williams, is set to begin this week, and Marshall is expected to testify. Per Klis, Marshall has felt grief and guilt since Williams' death, and that's a big part of why Marshall doesn't like being in Denver. ... As for whether Marshall remains a Bronco? Stay tuned.
