METAIRIE, La. -- The Brandon Marshall signing feels an awful lot like last week's Dez Bryant signing for the New Orleans Saints.
Big name, big personality, big-time résumé and a big body who could help in the red zone while playing a smaller, supporting role.
But Marshall, 34, just comes with a little less mystery and intrigue. For better and for worse. Unlike the 30-year-old Bryant, who spent the whole year out of the NFL before joining the Saints last week and tearing his Achilles tendon two days later, Marshall spent the first eight weeks of this season and all of training camp with the Seattle Seahawks.
