ESPN's Adam Schefter reports the rumors about the New York Jets going after WR Brandon Marshall "have no legs," according to a source.

The Jets are unwise? First they landed Braylon Edwards for a 2nd and LT as a FA. Now if they manage to get Marshall into the fold without giving up their first round pick that is a bad thing? Currently, Im more concerned about Miami not signing anyone noteworthy at the WR position despite both Marshall and Owens still on the market. Maybe it is just me but surely you could land one of these guys with incentives on performance and behanvior.

In yet another criminal defense case involving a National Football League (NFL) player, an Atlanta jury has found Denver Broncos wide receiver Brandon Marshall to be not guilty of domestic violence battery against his former girlfriend. The verdict was annouced on Friday, August 14, 2009, after just about one hour of jury deliberations.

Marshall had been facing two counts of simple domestic violence battery stemming from a March 4, 2008, argument with his then-girlfriend Rasheedah Watley at the Atlanta condominium the couple shared. After the verdict, Marshall admitted that he was nervous when jury deliberations started, but was confident in the hard work of his criminal defense lawyers.

Marshall and his current fiancée, Michi Leshase Nogami-Campbell, were involved in a disorderly conduct incident a few months back -- and while the matter was promptly dropped, it absolutely fits the pattern of behavior described by Watley and her parents, who charge the Broncos with trying to make excuses for Marshall's actions.
