Players speak for first time on Marvin's contract situation

[BMK]

I believe that this is Marv's last season, win, lose or draw. I also believe that the lack of a contract extension was mutually agreed to, with the understanding that Marv will have the option to be bumped upstairs if he elects not to pursue other coaching opportunities. I'd say his marketability is that he would be 'in the conversation' for some head coaching vacancies (though the trend seems to be hiring younger up-and-comers), but he would be more sought after as a coordinator....which at this point in life, he might have little interest for. So I think he stays inside the Bengals organization and starts carrying a briefcase to work instead of a clipboard.

Of course a very serious playoff run could change everything....from inside and outside the organization.
