In his first season, Marshall was named as the Offensive Rookie of the Year, and was also selected for the Pro Bowl game. He stayed with the Colts until 1999, when he was traded to the St. Louis Rams, as a result of several arguments with the team`s president Bill Polan, who didn`t want to offer him new contract. However, before he was traded he managed to play in one more Pro Bowl game, which also added to his net worth, thanks to the bonus, and was three times selected into the Second-team All-Pro, in 1994, 1995 and 1998.
