Contrary to his previous statement, Jets receiver Brandon Marshall will not play for free in 2017.

In fact, it seems unlikely that he’ll be willing to take a pay cut to stay in New York.

“If we’re really talking about production,” Marshall told WFAN radio this morning, “I’ve probably been underpaid for the past six years if we’re really talking about comparing production to receivers across the league.”

After only catching 59 passes and three touchdowns this past season, Marshall’s future is in doubt with the Jets. The team has several young wide receivers and it’s likely that the team is still a few years away from competing for a playoff spot.

Marshall has never made the playoffs in his 11-year career and has stated several times that all he cares about is winning moving forward.

“People need to get away from my salary. I’m underpaid,” Marshall continued. “Any team should be happy to have me for $7.5 million.

“But it’s not about the money. I want to win.”

Marshall’s 2017 salary is not guaranteed, meaning the Jets can move on without any penalty to the salary cap. Gang Green may attempt to trade him this offseason but it’s unlikely they could fetch more than a late-round draft pick.

If a trade falls through, it’s very possible that the team could grant Marshall his outright release.
