Why Marshall left the Bears

[adam]

If this doesn't show you how much this guy is for himself, then nothing will. So the team basically said we don't want you doing that during the season, and he took offense to that because it would hurt his brand. Ridiculous.

 

“When I sat down with Ryan Pace and coach John Fox, we met, and I asked, ‘What do you guys think about this?’ It was a big topic. And Ryan Pace said, ‘Well, we can do that in the offseason.’ So I was like, ‘Well, what about half the season?’ ‘No.’ ‘What about once or twice?’ ‘No.’ ‘What about bye week?’ ‘No, you can do that in the offseason.’”

 

Marshall said that he wanted to continue to do the show not just to set up a potential career as a broadcaster when his playing days were over, but also because he worried about potentially losing his name recognition after leaving the league, like many other players have.

This is a guy making millions of dollars to play a sport and he is worried about being broke after his playing days are over? He makes more in a season than most of us will make in a lifetime. Crazy.
