brandon marshall trade -Bears trade for Brandon Marshall In need of a wide receiver for franchise quarterback Jay Cutler and rumored to be in the market for a playmaker like Vincent Jackson, the Bears pulled off the first big surprise of 2012 league year.

 

Jay Glazer of FoxSports.com is reporting that the Miami Dolphins have traded Pro Bowl wide receiver Brandon Marshall to the Chicago Bears in exchange for two third-round picks. The move reunites Marshall with former Broncos teammate Jay Cutler, whom he was extremely productive with during three seasons in Denver. In fact, many would argue that the wide receiver’s best NFL seasons came with Cutler at the controls in 2007 and 2008, when Marshall recorded 206 receptions for 2,590 yards and 13 touchdowns.

 

Upon initial inspection, the move doesn’t look all that great for Miami, as the Dolphins gave up two second-round picks in 2010 to acquire Marshall from the Broncos, only to turn around and ship him to Chicago two years later for two third-round selections. In addition, shipping Marshall to the Bears now leaves the Dolphins with a glaring hole at the wide receiver position.
