Brandon Marshall signs contract extension
 

The Chicago Bears are keeping Brandon Marshall around for the long haul.

The Pro Bowl wide receiver signed a three-year, $30 million extension Monday during a live taping of ABC's "The View":

Marshall later tweeted that $1 million of his earnings will be donated to the mental health community, a cause the wideout has been devoted to in recent years.


The extension means Marshall now is under contract for four seasons and $40 million, including $23 million guaranteed, NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reported, per a source informed of the deal.

Marshall's previous deal was set to expire after this season, but there was little doubt he'd be re-signed. The 30-year-old pass-catcher is coming off back-to-back 100-catch, 1000-yard, 10-touchdown campaigns -- the only NFC receiver do so over the past two seasons.

With Marshall paired alongside the ascendant Alshon Jeffery, the Bears will boast one of NFC's more explosive pass-catching duos for years to come.

Good for him. He seems to have gotten his head on straight now...

Bring him in for a look.

Best 4th round WR ever?

Once again shows WR production is all about chemistry with the QB.

Can be the best WR ever, but if your QB won't throw you the ball... how is anyone supposed to know?

The View hitting their target audience with this one. :shake:

Ya...too bad Cutler is still their QB.

Whaa? Are you saying Cutler can't get Marshall the ball?

A real quarterback would get him 200 catch, 2000 yard, 20 TD seasons!

Had to go back a long way to find someone close.
Largent, Stallworth.

I think it's more likely that he's commenting on Cutler's being the NFCN version of Tony Romo.

The View? What is that?

You don't want to know...
