ESPN.com’s Adam Schefter is reporting that the Denver Broncos have tendered disgruntled wide receiver Brandon Marshall with a first-round tender.

If another team makes a player with a first-round tender on them a contract offer during the free-agency period beginning Friday, the player's current team has seven days to match it, or it will receive a first-round draft pick as compensation.

Marshall undoubtedly is one of the league’s most talented wideouts and is entering the prime of his career. However, multiple clashes with head coach Josh McDaniels during his first season in Denver have led the team to putting him up for grabs.

The fifth-year receiver out of Central Florida is coming off a season in which he caught 101 balls 1,120 yards and 10 touchdowns, all career highs. His 21-catch, 200-yard performance against Indianapolis last season was one of the greatest receiving days in NFL history.

A change of scenery may be just what the doctor ordered for Marshall. If I am a NFL general manager, I wouldn’t hesitate in giving up a first-round pick if I was in the market for a wideout, he’s the best one available via the draft or free agency by far.
