Brandon Marshall, LB

Best fits: Oakland Raiders, New England Patriots, Seattle Seahawks, Pittsburgh Steelers, Cincinnati Bengals, Arizona Cardinals, Los Angeles Rams

Prediction: Los Angeles Rams

Brandon Marshall’s contract option was declined by the Denver Broncos, and there still exists a possibility he could re-sign with Denver.

With that said, there are a number of teams who could pursue him in free agency and view him as a bargain.

One situation that makes a lot of sense? The Oakland (soon to be Las Vegas) Raiders. If the Raiders promise Marshall the opportunity to play football professionally in the same state he played his college ball (Nevada), he might be all for it.

The chance to play with Wade Phillips and Aqib Talib on a championship contender in Los Angeles (which is actually closer to Vegas than Reno) might be too tough to pass up.

The Rams have a need at linebacker and Brandon Marshall is a logical fit for them.
