Broncos tender Marshall at 1st Round Level

The Denver Broncos tendered restricted free agent WR Brandon Marshall at the 1st round level. That means if another team agrees to a contract with the disgruntled receiver, the Broncos would be entitled to either match the offer or receive a 1st round pick as compensation. Marshall has caught over 100 passes in each of the last 3 seasons and is only 26 years old. The Broncos also tendered Pro Bowl LB Elvis Dumervil at the 1st and 3rd round tender level, the highest level a team can go. Dumervil led the NFL last season with 17 sacks.
