NFL notes: Brandon Marshall signs two-year, $12M deal with Giants

Eli Manning and the New York Giants now have two legitimate threats on the outside.

The Giants found a complement to Odell Beckham Jr. on Wednesday by signing veteran free-agent receiver Brandon Marshall to a two-year, $12 million contact.

Marshall said the Giants' offer might have been the lowest that he got after being released by the Jets last week.

However, Ben McAdoo's team, which made the playoffs with an 11-5 record last season, offered him something else.

"It was all about championships," said Marshall, who has never made the playoffs since being drafted in the first round by Denver in 2006. "To get straight to the point — it was all about a championship, they presented the best opportunity to be in a championship organization."

Marshall offers the Giants a lot. He is a big target at 6-4 and 230 pounds, and he has been productive. In 167 regular-season games with Denver, Miami, Chicago and the Jets, he has caught 941 passes for 12,061 yards and 82 touchdowns.

The soon-to-be 33-year-old had 59 catches for 788 yards and three touchdowns last season.

• Tyrod Taylor will remain the Bills' starting quarterback after the team announced it restructured his five-year contract extension. Taylor's long-term future in Buffalo had been in question since the season ended.

• The NFL Network reported that a deal for the Bears to sign free-agent quarterback Mike Glennon, formerly of the Buccaneers, is "all but done.''

• Defensive end Elvis Dumervil was cut by the Ravens, who were looking to free up salary cap room before the start of free agency.

• Defensive end Andre Branch agreed to a $27 million, three-year contract to remain with the Dolphins.

• The Colts traded tight end Dwayne Allen and a sixth-round draft pick to the Patriots in exchange for a fourth-round pick.
