Marshall gets traded
After 4 years on the Broncos, Brandon Marshall was traded by the Broncos to the Miami Dolphins for a 2010 2nd round pick and a 2011 2nd round pick. The reason for the Broncos trading Marshall was because of his behavior on and off the field. He was becoming so much of a distraction that the team had no choice but to trade him. This was Marshall's awaking sign, which helped him to find out about his borderline personality disorder. -

Marshall plays "green cleats game"
During a Thursday NIght Football game in October of 2013, Brandon Marshall decided to wear bright green cleats for the Bears' game against the Giants. The cleats would be a violation of NFL rules, and Marshall would be fined (which he knew). The reason he wore the cleats was because it was mentral health awarness week, and the bright green represented mental health awareness. Marshall vowed to match the fine he received from the NFL ($10,500) and would donate it towards mental health research -

... the fine however did not go un-noticed. Marshall's performance in that game was amazing. Marshall would have 9 receptions for 87 yards and 2 touchdowns in the team's 27-21 win over the Giants. And the hype he receieved about the cleats spread the word about mental health awareness just like he wanted. -
Marshall gets traded, yet again
After 3 seasons with the Chicago Bears, Marshall was traded yet again to the New York Jets along with a 2015 7th round pick for a 2015 5th round pick. The trade came amongst rumors that Marshall was a "distraction" in the locker room and players and coaches didn't like the things that he was doing. The Bears later issued a statement saying that those reports were not true and that they did not trade him because of his actions behind the scenes.
