Kosar_For_President Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 If anyone can straighten out this dude, the Tuna can. The Miami Dolphins have acquired wide receiver Brandon Marshall(notes) in a trade with the Denver Broncos, ESPN reports. The Dolphins give up a second-round pick in next week’s NFL Draft and what is possibly an additional second-round pick in 2011, sources said. If Marshall passes his physical in Miami today, he will sign what will be one of the most lucrative deals for a wide receiver in NFL history, according to the report. In addition to the Dolphins, the Seahawks reportedly were making attempts to land Marshall. Tampa Bay also showed interest, and the Jets also considered trying to deal for him before they acquired Santonio Holmes(notes) from the Jets earlier this week, ESPN says. This is the second consecutive offseason in which the Broncos made a blockbuster trade. Last year, they dealt QB Jay Cutler(notes) to the Bears.

Mr. T Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 Denver WR corp will be like what we have now, unless they draft someone. WR's have to be the biggest drama queens in football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know we want character guys and we have holes to fill but why do we not even try to land Holmes oe Marshall. This is a little questionable IMO. We better find one hell of a receiver in the draft!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mopaji Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 Good job McDaniels. You have successfully become the Cleveland Indians of the NFL. What's oing to happen when the Broncos suck and he gets fired after two years. All they accomplished was gutting the offense and pissing the fans off. At least Rex Ryan had enough sense to keep Mangini's guys when he took over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have traded a first for him ... drama and all. Zombo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrownIndian Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 It is hard to believe that he went low. Dang i wish we could have got him ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bag O'Browns Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 Gotta agree, IF the asking price was two second rounders, you've got to wonder why the Browns wearn't even trying? I know Mangini wants character guys but his mentor and his mentors mentor are willing to take chances on guys with AMAZING talent. We may've missed on this one....

choco Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 No wondering at all...we want more second Rounders...not less Where fans see production, the fo sees trouble. 2 starters for 1 is a terrible idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasont44094 Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 It is what it is. We don't take problem childs, one mistake more for Holmes and Marshell and there suspended for a year; we don't need to worry about a player, we need to worry about winning games.

Bag O'Browns Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 I was just speaking with a friend of mine about all of this and he was thinking the whole Miami scene is something Marshall would want more than Cleveland anyway. (warm weather, hip town etc) I'm not completely disappointed we didn't get the guy but do think despite his troubles, he could've been worth the risk. (especially with the way we pick our players) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(especially with the way we pick our players) yes i agree with your friend. i believe players have at least a vote in most cases. teams don't want players trying to block it stalling to sign or unnecessary media backlash etc. re: Marshall i think it was completely about Miami and the $$ and he's going to be awesome. not sure why he never dug Denver...i don't feel the city's sentiment here yet. poor BQ had a chance when Marshall was still in town. first Hillis, now Marshall...wtf?

Mangini ain't calling the shots on trades. Holmgren and Heckert are. I doubt they want Marshall's drama queen act. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasont44094 Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 first Hillis, now Marshall...wtf? Actually first Cutler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sisky fringo Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 Actually first Cutleryes you are correct chronologically but in the context of my post Hillis and Marshall were weapons BQ could utilize...not Cutler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miktoxic Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 I doubt they want Marshall's drama queen act. nor the contract that would await him. why are we all sweating wide receivers? we have bigger problems. solidifying both lines and the defensive backfield should be our main concern now. massaquoi and robiskie should both be better this year and i'm sure wr will be addressed somewhere in the draft. yea brandon marshall is good, so was/is terrell owens. but they both did things bad enough that their teams wanted them out. so why sign him for tons of money just to have him come in and f up the whole team chemistry and then trade him a year or two later because you realize you made a mistake? him in miami will be interesting to say the least. can i say NITELIFE?

Bag O'Browns Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 Mangini ain't calling the shots on trades. Holmgren and Heckert are. I doubt they want Marshall's drama queen act. But as Holmgren stated, he isn't going to make a move if the coach isn't behind it or at least involved. I tend to agree though, they don't want ANY part of Marshall's baggage and really who can blame them? Rison's crap didn't work out too well here and he was pretty darn decent stat-wise when we got him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoot Posted April 15, 2010 Report Share Posted April 15, 2010 Man, Miami's got 3 "above average" receivers already, with Marshall providing a legit #1 threat, those guys are only gonna improve. Their passing game is probably going to be scary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
