I'd Rather Have T.O.

There is word from the Baltimore Sun's Jamison Hensley that the Ravens are "doing their homework" on disgruntled Broncos WR Brandon Marshall, but have not made contact with his agent. That should be some pretty easy and short-lived homework given Marshall's criminal record, which includes four arrests since 2004. ESPN's Outside the Lines has detailed his multiple counts of domestic battery. Marshall has also been charged with assaulting a police officer and DUI. Depending on the results of his pending battery charges, the NFL may suspend Marshall under their personal conduct policy.

With the rumored price for Marshall being 1st and 3rd round draft choices, this seems like an obvious "no thanks" situation for Ozzie Newsome. There's no doubting Marshall's talent, as he's had over 100 catches his last two seasons, but he would contradict coach Harbaugh's focus on character and accountability from Ravens players. Actually, with Marshall's record, it doesn't matter who the coach is. He's just a bad guy. Lastly, wouldn't 1st and 3rd round picks be better spent on Anquan Boldin? I just can't see this one happening.
