From Gazette.com:
After basically disengaging himself from practice by standing with the defensive players on the sideline and not taking any normal repetitions during 11-on-11 drills (he said it is because he is "not close" to learning the playbook), Broncos receiver Brandon Marshall reiterated he is not happy with the team. He was asked if there were irreconcilable differences with the team.
"Unfortunately, sometimes it gets to that point," Marshall said. "There are trust issues on both sides. It’s understandable. We’ve got to try our best to move forward."
He said he was starting to work past his issues with the team, but he was upset on Friday when he said a public-relations staffer told Broncos players not to act too happy for Marshall after he was found not guilty of a misdemeanor battery charge in Atlanta.
"I think the biggest thing was, it was really disappointing hearing that some of my teammates on one of the best days of ... for the past three years, of my life, some of my teammates were coached to say ‘Don’t say you’re happy for Brandon,'" Marshall said.
"That situation, we feel like we've tried to handle it the best we could after something like that came out, but trying to get everyone's mind back on football," Broncos coach Josh McDaniels said.
Marshall said he has not asked the Broncos for a raise. Marshall's agent Kennard McGuire was at Broncos facilities on Monday.

'Go to' talent at his position.
Dallas should be ringing him up. Without someone to make the coverage predictable all the great things Whitten can do could be minimized to great degree. The Dallas backfield has high upside but also needs someone better able to control how and where the safety plays at.
Eight in the box, with the safety on the outside because you can bring some catches that way, that is workable. You can run or pass away from it.
Eight in the box inside, with the strong safety walked down inside because there's no outside presence to dictate cover sets, that is whole new ball game an opens a ton of blitz and zone blitz options extra.
True, Dallas just removed that kind of presence, and arguably a similar mindset. Without the playmaker, the things Garret tries to design will be fluff and decoration at critical times.
Who else should ring his number up?
