WR Brandon Marshall says his deal with New York Giants is done

Six-time Pro Bowl wide receiver Brandon Marshall says his deal with the New York Giants is done..

The two sides had been meeting Wednesday morning and were  "headed in the direction" of a two-year, $12M deal, but it is not done yet, a person with knowledge of the talks told Tom Pelissero of USA TODAY Sports. The person requested anonymity because of the nature of the talks.

Late Wednesday morning, Marshall tweeted this:

Marshall was granted his release from the New York Jets, the Giants’ co-tenants at MetLife Stadium, last week.

While free agents and teams can negotiate deals, nothing is binding -- or can be signed -- until the new league year starts at 4 p.m. Thursday.
