Brandon Marshall proved last season he still has some wheels. But he may not when the season ends.
Via Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com, the Jets wide receiver has engaged in some playful banter with Steelers counterpart Antonio Brown, offering to bet their respective luxury cars on which one has the better season.
Marshall started it off with an Instagram post he’d bet a Porsche (a Jets sponsor) that he’d have more receiving yards than Brown, suggesting the Steelers wideout put his Rolls Royce on the line.
Brown had 1,834 yards last season to Marshall’s 1,502.
But Brown seemed up to it, telling TMZ Sports that Marshall must have been looking for some attention.
“He don’t really wanna do that. He just wants some PR. He too old to be doing that,” Brown said. “The RR is about $100k up [from the value of the Porsche]. . . .
“If he really serious, CALL ME . . . I’ll gladly accept. Don’t Internet it.”
Marshall scored 14 touchdowns to Brown’s 10 last year. And his best pal Ryan Fitzpatrick is back, so Marshall’s clearly feeling good about things.
Of course, he may need a ride from his quarterback, if Brown does take the challenge seriously.
