CHICAGO -- Five-time Pro Bowl wide receiver Brandon Marshall spoke openly Tuesday about his desire to retire as a member of the Bears after signing a three-year extension with the club that runs through the 2017 season.

But Marshall still has several goals he plans to achieve before calling it quits.

Marshall told ESPN 1000's "Carmen and Jurko Show" that he one day wants to surpass the numbers put up by Hall of Famer Cris Carter over his illustrious 16-year NFL career.

"They're going to have to rip the jersey off of my back [for me to stop playing]," Marshall said. "I've always said I want to play 14 years. That's always been my goal. But maybe [I'll play until I'm] 36 years old. Who knows?

"I'm trying to pass Cris Carter in everything. I don't think I have it in me to go for Jerry [Rice]. That's 20 years I would have to play. Maybe with modern medicine and all this new technology, I could potentially play that long, but I've had three hip surgeries. I'm just asking for six more [years in the league]."

Carter ranks fourth in league history in receptions (1,101), and receiving touchdowns (130). His 13,899 receiving yards are fourth all time among Hall of Famers after Rice, Tim Brown and James Lofton and ninth all-time as Terrell Owens, Randy Moss, Isaac Bruce, Tony Gonzalez and Marvin Harrison also appear ahead of him on the list.
