Denver Broncos wide receiver Brandon Marshall is expected to only improve as the #1 guy for QB Jay Cutler to throw to this season, but off-field accusations may be getting in the way of a connection. Marshall is already recovering from a bizarre incident involving getting injured after slipping on a McDonald’s wrapper; now the DENVER POST is reporting that the NFL is looking into possible disciplinary actions after an arrest involving a possible domestic dispute with his long-time girlfriend back in March.
Rasheedah Watley claimed in an affidavit that “Marshall hit her in the mouth and left eye, leaving her with, according to the criminal warrant, ‘visible marks above the eye and a laceration on her top and bottom lip.’” Charges have not been filed, and the two have a back history of events that resulted in dropped charges.

Darrent Williams’ killer allegedly wrote a letter to a gang leader, telling him that he would not admit to the 2007 murder and confirming that he fired the shots. That letter was allegedly intercepted by a fellow inmate and delivered to the ROCKY MOUNTAIN NEWS in hopes of collecting part or all of the $100,000 reward offered by the Denver Broncos for information regarding the slaying.
The ROCKY MOUNTAIN NEWS called in a handwriting expert to apparently confirm the letter came from the hand of Willie Clark, in jail pending drug charges and one suspect in the unsolved murder. The ROCKY MOUNTAIN NEWS convinced the unnamed source that brought them the letter to allow prosecutors to take the letter.
He now lives out of state, moved by authorities, and refuses to testify until money comes from the Broncos or the state’s attorney’s office to also move his family to safety.
