Wide Receiver Brandon Marshall agreed to a one-year deal this week with the New Orleans Saints to supplement for the devastating Achilles injury to another veteran receiver Dez Bryant. Brandon Marshall Signs With Saints The move indicates a Saints team that is hungry for a deep postseason run, in desperate need for a veteran receiver presence, and above all, an end zone target to complete an already lethal offense. Questions about Marshall's health have loomed above the 34-year-old for a few seasons, but the six-time Pro Bowler attests to his health, and is ready for a new beginning for a playoff team. "No, I'm done. I'm washed up," said Marshall mockingly of his status as a top receiver. "What my film says this year is what it is." Marshall has been cut twice this season, something he isn't used to after years as an elite receiver, which he called "interesting," and says it "built a lot of character." Marshall is finally in a position to win, and claims his health couldn't be better. "Fit as a fiddle," he said about his health, which has been prsitine since about week three or four. "Healthy as a Trout." Marshall's health is certainly a crucial factor of the coming playoff push for the Saints, and for himself: in Marshall's touted 13-year career, he's never once seen the playoffs, and that's almost ensured with the blistering 8-1 Saints, who lead the NFC South by two games. Marshall is aware of his situation and is eager to join the teams ranks, citing quarterback Drew Brees as a "a wide receiver's dream" amidst a potential MVP season for the 39-year-old. 30 SPORTS FIGURES WHO DIED IN 2018 – TRIBUTE SLIDESHOW .@BMarshall says it’s a WR’s dream to play with Drew Brees The newest Saint talks about his first practice with the squad today #GoSaints pic.twitter.com/zhSfmfvKqX — New Orleans Saints (@Saints) November 14, 2018 "Our paths have crossed a bunch of places off the field. We played in the Pro Bowl together. I've known of him for a long time, really heard a lot of good things about him, been a fan of his just watching him on film," Brees said on his new weapon. "He's a smart, veteran guy who is very fluid. Seen him in a lot of different offenses. Seen him be successful both as an outside receiver, an inside receiver. He's very versatile. He's a big target, a big catching radius. Just watching him run today, he's pretty impressive." It is unsure if Marshall will be able to seamlessly transition into a productive target for Brees as early as Sunday against the Eagles, or on the short week against the Falcons on Thanksgiving. The veteran receiver has made transitions before, and his patience the last few seasons is something of a virtue down the stretch of the most important season of his career.
