No.
If you are getting rid of Marshall you are preparing for an all out rebuild. If that is the case the last thing you do is spend big money on FA's in the first year of an overhaul. At the start of a rebuild you add talent through the draft and mid-tier and depth guys through free agency. When you have acquired enough talent and feel your team is ready to win, then you spend on impact free agents.

I'll take a 6th rounder for Jay while eating $5M of his 2015 salary and a 6th rounder for Brandon Marshall. Before we can build this thing back up, we need to tear it down. I'd also trade Forte for a 4th rounder because he has one more good year before he starts to decline. I've identified a few pieces that we can keep for the next 5-6 years.
1) Kyle Long
2) Kyle Fuller
3) Alshon Jeffrey
4) Jermon Bushrod
5) Marty Bennett
6) Christian Jones
7) Robbie Gould
It's possible Marquis Wilson will develop into a piece who belongs here -- but every body else should go.

nothing ive said in this thread was untrue or unscientific
Rumor that I heard today is that the Bengals have really soured on their qb and might want to trade for Cutler. Their so-called "window of opportunity" is closing they feel and don't have any confidence at the position.
According to spotrac, Marshall's cap his $13.25 mil if you release him or trade him.
