[MTC]

For two third round picks.

Major scoopage! The Chicago Bears have agreed to terms of a trade w Miami for pro bowl WR Brandon Marshall in exchange for 2 third-rounders.

Stupid move, IMO.

[Malakai432]

Lol just saw that. That might've been a derp move unless it was to lure both Manning and Wayne there.

[CCH]

wth!?!? They just lost Peyton. Dumb Dolphins.

[Andy]

Well, now they can spend those 2 third rounders to get a receiver and fill some holes in their team. Not a bad trade, but i would have asked for a bit more. It wont be good for PM, but it gives them space to sign Reggie.

[Slick_Rick]

Could be fun to see how this plays out

[Malakai432]

For two third round receivers? That doesn't seem like a bad trade for Marshall. Ack!

[Andy]

Now the Bears have their no.1 receiver and the best receiver in Bears history.

[Malakai432]

I disagree, Jay Cutler and Brandon Marshall had good chemistry in Denver. It will be fun to see how that plays out

That's a very good point.

Wow! Didn't see this coming.

Jay Cutler & Brandon Marshall reuniting. Bears are going to be good next year...

[Thewholefnshow28]

I only see two options for why Miami would do this. 1) Peyton told them he is not coming there no matter what. 2) Wayne/Peyton/Garcon are a packaged deal.

Great move for the Bears. They get Cutler his number one option he all ready has played with. A real WR threat will open things up for Forte which will make things easier for the passing game. Now all they got to do is sign either Mario or Freeney when he gets cut.

I sure hope not, I really dislike the Bears.

Denver and Arizona, here I come.

Signed --- Peyton

Id say good trade for both sides. Philbin probably didnt want the guy since he wasnt brought in under his watch and Marshall has been known to be a handful to deal with. Bears obviously needed a guy like this and obviously him and Cutler are familiar.

if u havent seen Garcon is a redskin now

Cant see Peyton wanting to break in Rookie WR & just having Wayne and who else Hartline & bess, Marshal was the threat to compliment Wayne

[geinsteder]

I wonder. Or else he didn't care for his drama. Either way I think they are trying to make some room to hire Mannings guys,,

Wayne Doesn't Plan To Wait For Peyton Manning To Make Up Mind

I don't think it was THAT bad of a trade. They want to shift to more of a West Coast offense, and felt as though Marshall didn't quite fit in that scheme. Plus, his production was down from 23 touchdowns over 2 seasons with Cutler, to 9 in Miami. They can save the money, use the picks to get some young guys, and run the West Coast. I think they will be fine.

It's not just about talent: it's also about the right fit in the NFL. Granted, I would have asked for a 2nd and a 3rd, or maybe a little more, but still.

[CCH]

The Dolphins did save about 5.9 Million. A little bit of breathing room to potentially bring in the Colt trio.

[FairleySuhper]

That's a great pick up for them. And for two 3rd rounders it was a heck of a deal. Cutler to Marshall is a proven winning combination.

[21isSuperman]

Both of these guys just moved up a whole bunch in my fantasy football rankings...

If you ask me, 2 3rd rounders isn't very much for him. Not only do the Bears get a solid, young WR, but they get one that has tons of chemistry with Cutler

[CR91]

bet bb is happier then cutler. besides wayne i dont think there was a wr bb hating facing more

[Colt-in-Jax]

Marshall is another one of those players like TO that's all about himself and will be a locker room cancer if he doesn't get his way. The Branco's weren't exactly crying to see him go, but at least they got 2 #2 picks for him. If Peyton went to Miami no way would that work with Brandon.

[Rich Cannon]

Good move for the bears, they actually have a real number 1 WR now. No more former CB's and backups starting.

[Coltsarerich]

Didn't Marshall catch like 20 passes against Chicago once? How a guy can be a supreme guest speaker at events and go to punching and dropkicking women in the face in the same night is a little strange.

For two third round picks.
