Broncos Team Report (Yahoo! Sports)
<p>While the Denver Broncos didn't come out and say that Brandon Marshall's time with the team might be nearing an end, but their actions before free agency hinted pretty strongly at that. </p>
<p>The Broncos decided to give Marshall, a restricted free agent, a first-round tender. By giving him the lower tender, the team opened up the very strong possibility of a team coming in and signing Marshall to an offer sheet. </p>
<p>Despite a couple of Pro Bowl appearances from Marshall, the Broncos appear ready to move on. The controversy surrounding Marshall was a distraction for most of 2009. </p>
<p>Marshall started off wrong with the new coaching staff, skipping voluntary workouts and camps, then holding out of a mandatory minicamp.

<p>The Chargers continue to make sweeping changes to their roster by releasing Pro Bowl defensive tackle Jamal Williams.</p>

<p>But unlike Tomlinson, there is a chance Williams could return—but that's no guarantee.</p>
<p>"This is a difficult time of year and the most difficult part of our job," general manager A.J. Smith said. "Jamal has been an anchor of our defense for 12 seasons. He's battled courageously at one of the most punishing positions on the field, and I respect him immensely."</p>
<p>Williams tore his triceps in last year's season-opener and landed on IR, wiping out the majority of his season.
