The NYG recouped 5 mil by cutting him, and were already 5 mil under the cap. Gives them 10 to work with (so far). Dez could be a real option given that NYG are without Marshal and OBJ now.
They site that he failed the physical. He had a season ending ankle injury last season in week 5. And while Marshall does have issues (Boarderline Personality Disorder) he is not nearly as disruptive as before he knew what it was or had coping mechanisms to help him deal with it. He is still a 5 time probowl WR and (what I like most) is super motived. He has stated he feels he has 2 years left to get the type of stats he wants to become a potential Hall of Famer. He is ranked just outside the top 25 in several categories. Point being, he is motivated. I wonder if we could give him a contract with health incentives (ie, plays 14 games in the season, etc). I wouldn't mind a 2 year deal with Marshall at all - especially coming from a division rival as well.
"I'm all-in on football," Marshall said late last season. "I've rebuilt my body. I think I'm two great years away from, and I'll say it, I want to be a Hall of Famer and I think I got two great years to go to be mentioned with some of the greats.
"I'm not just playing this game just to be a guy. I want to be remembered for the product that I put out on the field. So these last few years have been tough -- last year with the Jets, this year with the Giants -- but I'm hopeful that the next couple years for me will be some amazing years and some of my best work."
Marshall has also played for the Denver Broncos, Miami Dolphins and Chicago Bears over his career, and he has six seasons with at least 100 receptions -- the most by any player in NFL history.
He has 959 catches for 12,215 yards and 82 career touchdown grabs. He is 16th all time in receptions -- only 23 behind Hall of Famer Randy Moss -- and is just inside the top 25 in yards (23rd) and touchdown catches (23rd).
