NFL Roundup: News and notes

Broncos QB rips troubled WR: Jay Cutler has had it with all the drama and headlines surrounding top target Brandon Marshall. In his first offseason interview, one sprinkled with unusually blunt criticism, the quarterback called out his No. 1 receiver who suffered a gash on his right forearm while horsing around last month. “Yeah, he’s not my favorite person right now,” Cutler said. “I mean, I support him, but it’s always something with him right now.” Marshall, who emerged as Cutler’s primary target during a breakout 2007 season, said he was horsing around with his older brother at a resort in Orlando, Fla., when he fell into a television set, cutting an artery, a vein, a nerve, two tendons and three muscles in his right arm. Marshall has found himself in the news a lot lately. He faces a DUI charge stemming from an October incident and had a spat with his girlfriend last year that landed him in court. And he was partying with Darrent Williams the night the cornerback was slain in a drive-by shooting on Jan. 1, 2006. “I’ve talked to him many times. I think a lot of people have. ... He knows he’s running out of chances,” Cutler said. “This wasn’t like his DUI and other stuff he’s had. It was an accident, but still, things like that can’t happen. He knows it.”

Bengals WR fined: Wide receiver Chris Henry was ticketed for driving with expired Kentucky license plates. He appeared in Hamilton County Municipal Court and paid the court $149, according to court records. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell suspended Henry, 24, for the first half of last season for repeatedly violating the league’s conduct policy. Henry was arrested four times during a 14-month span.
