Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
If the Seahawks sign Marshall to an offer sheet, they will have to send Denver the No. 6 pick. Given that, Williamson expects a trade for lesser compensation to be worked out if Seattle decides to pull the trigger on acquiring Marshall. ... Meanwhile, ESPN's Adam Schefter notes that Seattle's OC, Jeremy Bates, worked with Marshall in Denver and Seattle's WRs coach, Jedd Fisch, also worked with Marshall. Seattle also lost Nate Burleson to Detroit, leaving a pair of aging veterans, T.J. Houshmandzadeh (32) and Deion Branch (31) as the team's top two WRs. Marshall turns 26 later this month. He has had three straight seasons with more than 100 catches.
