SEATTLE — Despite a potentially huge price to acquire his services, the Seattle Seahawks are going to take their shot at impressing Denver wide receiver Brandon Marshall.

The star Broncos receiver, and restricted free agent, will visit with the Seahawks today, a team spokesman said on Friday night. ESPN.com first reported Marshall’s visit.

The cost to get Marshall out of Denver could be significant. Denver slapped a first-round tender on Marshall earlier this week, meaning Seattle would have to surrender the No. 6 pick in April’s draft as compensation to the Broncos if the two teams cannot work out a trade.

The reward for Seattle could be the big play receiver the Seahawks need even if he comes with past problems. Marshall has caught more than 100 passes in three straight seasons.

Marshall, who began and ended last season in coach Josh McDaniels’ dog house but in between caught 101 passes and 10 touchdowns, received a first-round qualifying offer from the Broncos on Wednesday — which would make it easier to facilitate a trade.

Marshall, who turns 26 this month, would get a 14.7 percent raise next season to $2.521 million if he’s still in Denver.

The source of his discontent last summer was twofold: he was angry with the team’s medical staff for misdiagnosing a hip injury that required surgery, and he wasn’t happy with his contract.

A fourth-round draft pick in 2006, Marshall said he should be compensated like other elite wide receivers.
