Brandon Marshall is a leader, there’s no disputing that.

The Broncos placed a second-round tender on the linebacker earlier this offseason, setting him up to make $2.553 million in 2016. But after two Pro Bowl-worthy seasons, Marshall feels he deserves a long-term deal.

Despite an ongoing disagreement between Marshall’s agent and the team, Marshall chose not to skip the team’s voluntary offseason conditioning program that began Monday.

Marshall signed a waiver to participate with his teammates.

“I wanted to show commitment I have to improving myself and this defense,” Marshall said, according to Troy Renck of the Denver Post.

Marshall’s commitment was not unnoticed.

“That’s huge. Just to see his face—like Von (Miller), he’s going through the business side of football. He’s here. First step in getting better than he was last year is showing up. He’s here. He’s getting better and that’s a positive for us,” cornerback Aqib Talib said, according to a quote sheet released by the team.

Marshall’s deadline to sign an offer sheet with another team is April 22, so he is quickly losing leverage. If another team signed Marshall, they would have to give their second round pick to the Broncos.

Such a scenario seems unlikely to happen, so Marshall will probably end up playing for just over $2.5 million this season. But that doesn’t mean a long-term deal is out of the question.

Broncos general manager John Elway has given players contract extensions in-season before, and he may again with Marshall.

In the meantime, Marshall’s in the building. He’s put his team first.
