Brandon Marshall is predicting good things for the Giants in 2018, though he won’t be around to enjoy it.
Marshall, who was released this offseason for failing a team physical, was in Manhattan on Tuesday night attending a private screening of “Bipolar Rock ‘N’ Roller,” the riveting Showtime documentary that offers a graphic look into how multi-sport play-by-play announcer Mauro Ranallo deals with his lifelong battle with mental illness.
Marshall, who was diagnosed with borderline personality disorder, was released by the Giants in April. The six-time Pro Bowl wide receiver missed the final 11 games last season after undergoing season-ending surgery to repair his left ankle.
Marshall had signed a two-year $11 million contract in 2017, and the Giants recouped $5.156 million in cap space by releasing him. Still, Marshall had nothing but positive things to say about the Giants, adding his release was “a long time ago.”
He offered high marks for the club’s offseason acquisitions through free agency and the draft.
