Winning apparently really does cure all ills, especially in Denver.

FOX Sports has learned that the Denver Broncos have decided to rescind fines levied on Pro Bowl WR Brandon Marshall earlier this year and actually return fine money they've already taken. The total given back and rescinded equals approximately $73,000.

The two sides still have to finalize and sign the agreement, but it appears this is yet another sign that the relationship between their star receiver and the Broncos has been repaired.

The fine comes from a suspension and heavy fines for behavior exhibited this preseason. He was suspended by the team for what coach Josh McDaniels at the time called "detrimental" conduct. After a string of questionable behavior, Marshall went out during pre-practice warmups and walked while the rest of the team ran, punted a ball away instead of handing it to a ball boy, and swatted a pass thrown to him.

Earlier this season Marshall told FOXSports.com that he was going to change his ways and be a good solider for his team, this despite being taken out of the starting lineup.

Since then, Marshall has more than made good on his promise. Not only has he worked his way back into the starting lineup, he's shined in recent weeks.

In a win over the Cowboys in Week 4 he had a huge 51-yard touchdown. One week later in a stunning victory over Bill Belichick's Patriots, he had 8 catches and two scores. For the season he has 29 catches for 332 yards and four TDs in just four starts.
