Former Denver Broncos linebacker Brandon Marshall worked out for the San Francisco 49ers, per ESPN's Adam Schefter. The 49ers started organized team activities this week, and one of their practices is today. Marshall has not appeared in a regular-season game since 2018.
The Jacksonville Jaguars made Marshall a fifth-round selection out of Nevada in 2012. He registered 42 tackles and a pass defensed through 11 games with the Broncos in 2018. He recorded three seasons of over 100 tackles over the previous four seasons.
Marshall, 31, signed a one-year deal with the then-Oakland Raiders in 2019 but was released before the start of the season. He caught back on with the team for six days in the middle of that season before being released again.
Marshall has recorded 418 tackles, 28 tackles for a loss, nine quarterback hits, 6.5 sacks, 21 passes defensed, two interceptions, and four forced fumbles through his seven NFL seasons with at least one game appearance (2012-18).

Rapoport: 49ers send clear message to teams inquiring about Brandon Aiyuk
Ian Rapoport didn't offer much of an update on the ongoing contract negotiations between the San Francisco 49ers and their standout wide receiver, Brandon Aiyuk. However, the NFL insider emphasized one thing: The team is not entertaining trade discussions at this juncture.
Reacting to Aiyuk's decision to unfollow the 49ers on Instagram, Rapoport couldn't help but chuckle at the latest development. This practice has become commonplace among players who are unhappy with their contract situations. Wide receiver Deebo Samuel similarly took this action in 2022 before requesting to be traded just before the draft.
Things have yet to escalate that far with Aiyuk, but Rapoport sees his
Rumor: Steelers believe they can acquire 49ers WR Brandon Aiyuk at a bargain
According to Sports Illustrated contributor Noah Strackbein, who writes for "All Steelers" on the network, there's a level of confidence within the Pittsburgh Steelers organization that they can strike a deal for San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk—and at a bargain rate.
"According to a team source, the Steelers and 49ers trade talks are real," Strackbein wrote. "While nothing is imminent, they 'would be surprised if it didn't happen.' But it all comes down to compensation, and Pittsburgh isn't willing to budge much on price."
