NY Giants private jet lands in Colorado = interest in Brandon Marshall?

UPDATE: Mike Garofolo of the Newark Star-Ledger reports that the appearance of jet with a NY Giants logo on it on Wednesday had nothing to do with Brandon Marshall, and that the Giants have never used a team plane in personnel matters:

In talking with folks in the know Thursday, I’m told the plane was not there as part of a meeting between any team officials and Marshall. Plus, a team spokesman said the Giants do not own a private plane.

So, there you go.

OK, take this for what it’s worth, but Sportsradio 104.3 The Fan in Denver posted this cell phone photo of what they’re claiming to be the NY Giants private jet on the runway of Jefferson County Airport in Colorado on Wednesday.

The presumption here is that this means the Giants are talking with the Broncos about WR Brandon Marshall, and that a possible trade deal is imminent.  While Denver head coach Josh McDaniels remains adamant that they aren’t talking to anyone about trading Marshall, it’s clear that Marshall wants out, and the Broncos would do well to at least get something in return for their troublesome star.

Most recently, the rumors were that Denver was in talks with the Jets, and that they wanted LB David Harris as part of the deal.  Which begs the question, since the Jets and Giants share a stadium, do you think the Jets might also be borrowing the Giants plane for this trip?

Look, this is nothing more than an unsubstantiated rumor, and until there’s official news of a contract, there’s not really much to say here.  But if the Giants do have interest in Marshall, I would be very surprised.  It would go against everything Jerry Reese and the Maras believe in terms of the type of person they want for their ball club.  They didn’t just cut one headache (Burress) to replace him with another.
