Lindsay H. Jones of the Denver Post reports Brandon Marshall, dissatisfied with both his contract and previous medical treatment, requested the Broncos trade him a week ago and skipped the team's mandatory minicamp last weekend.
Marshall was scheduled to fly back to Orlando, Fla., later on Friday. What remains unclear is if he'll be back when the rest of his teammates report for training camp in the final days of July. Marshall wouldn't say one way or the other.
"Life, man. So much gets thrown at you at once sometimes, you've got to be able to embrace it and keep your head above water," Marshall said.
