Is wide receiver Brandon Marshall dropping some flirtatious hints about the New York Giants in much the same way running back Adrian Peterson did?

Over the weekend, Marshall, who was recently released by the New York Jets, changed his Instagram profile picture to one of the Lombardi Trophy. However, the uncropped version of the picture is even more intriguing.

It’s actually a picture following Big Blue’s Super Bowl XLVI victory over the New England Patriots in which Devin Thomas is holding up the trophy alongside Osi Umenyiora.

Some have dismissed the photo as nothing more than coincidental and a sign that Marshall wants to play for a contending team, but the choice of Thomas seems to be far more than happenstance.

Similar to Marshall himself, Thomas wore No. 15 at the time. Check it out:

Is it really just a coincidence? Does it mean something relevant? Or is it really nothing more than a freak coincidence that Marshall chose that picture of Devin Thomas, that picture of the New York Giants and that picture of a team he’s been linked to winning a championship?

Free agency is crazy and entertaining as a stand alone, but Brandon Marshall and Adrian Peterson are making it that much more entertaining as we near the legal tampering period prior to the official start of free agency.
