The Facts: According to Boston Globe staffer Ben Volin, don't rule out Marshall coming to New England. There's some mutual interest there.
Diehards Line:The Patriots are just one of the possible landing spots being mentioned since news of Marshall's release by the Jets broke on Thursday. The Ravens have also been mentioned along with the usual list of teams with needs at the position, including Philadelphia, Washington and Tennessee. The Rams might also have a need at the position. Remember, Marshall has yet to make an NFL playoff appearance in 11 seasons. That might make the Patriots more appealing to him. Whatever the case, Marshall is just two seasons removed from a 1,500-yard campaign when, with solid quarterback play, he outworked corners and was an absolute force in the red zone. If Marshall can regain that form with a QB like Flacco, that would be a boon for the Ravens, who are in the market for that type of commanding athlete on the flanks.
