It's the money they have attached. It doesn't have to be "bad salary" for a team not to want it anymore, it just has to be "salary," lol.
I bet loads of teams would want Marshall, so my assumption is either that Dallas isn't shopping him or that they're asking for too much.
I think they already have something setup involving Thompson. The whole world seems convinced he's going to play in Miami next season, so I'm guessing they've already got a deal lined up, agreed to buy him out...something.
I've seen comments about not losing Klay for nothing, but aren't there advantages to a "good guy" buyout? If he has an "understanding" with Team X, then buying him out for the salary difference saves DAL cap space (1st +) and opens up a roster spot (2nd +) without costing any scarce draft assets (3rd +). I guess there is no hurry to do it until Team X is ready to take him on. Sort of like trading him into cap space without getting a TPE back.
