After their 2016 campaign, a free agent like Brandon Marshall would have to be crazy to want to remain in New York.
But it turns out it only took one two-year, $12 million deal to keep him there after signing with the New York Giants on Wednesday.
Marshall took to Twitter to post a picture of his freshly inked contract with the two-word caption “Done Deal!!!!”
And that seemed to capture the attention of a fellow NFL player.
Namely Pittsburgh’s Antonio Brown—who you’d think as the highest paid receiver in football wouldn’t need anything Marshall has.
Unless Marshall promised it to Brown.
Which is exactly what Marshall did at the beginning of this season when he foolishly made a wager with Brown. Over the summer he promised that if Brown had more receiving yards than Marshall, in 2016, he would give Brown a Porsche. If Marshall had more yards than Brown, the Steelers star would give Marshall his custom Rolls Royce.
Yup, which is why Brown couldn’t wait to reply with a tweet of his own saying:
“Now u can send the Porshe bro.”
Wow—you’d think Marshall would have realized when he made the bet over the summer that the Jets didn’t have a genuine QB in camp as Ryan Fitzpatrick was holding out, which may have led to his horrific 2016 season that has left him a free agent in 2017.
Marshall may as well give brown the car—not like Fitzpatrick can’t drive him around with his new Uber gig.
