Best comment from the ESPN story...

"I think this is a bid by the Dolphins to join the Big East."

I wish I had the desire to look back and see how many people bad mouthing this are also the ones who were bashing Marshall during the season. I'm a bit indifferent. I think we can find another #1 receiver fairly easily.

that might be the reason, Maybe Manning said he didn't want to play with Marshall with all his antics.


Digging deeper in this trade:  Peyton was "weary" of playing with Marshall..so it appears Peyton's stoke is bigger than anyone could have imagined.  Now, you would have to assume that Miami is going all in on Peyton and friends.  (Reggie Wayne, Dallas Clark, etc).  Trading Marshall gives Miami an extra $12 million in space..now roughly $32 million under the cap.

If we get Manning bc we got rid of Marshal I'm ok with it.

I have read a couple of reports that say Manning had reservations about being on a team with Marshall. They either are making space for people that Manning is comfortable with or they have totally given up on getting him. Think about it for a second. Manning wants control. If he didn't want to play with Marshall and the team gets rid of Marshall. The team just gave him a shitload of control over the offensive scheme, if in fact that is what is going on here. If not, it could just be another clusterfuck brain fart by our FO........

Ha, ha, ha, a couple more trades, cuts, and restructures and we can sign the whole former Manning team.

Exactly:  Restructure Dansby, Bell, and Long's contracts and we can get Mathis and Melvin Bullet too!!

WHAT THE FUCK.......... Angry

I am seriously pissed about this......

I never wanted them to trade Marshall to begin with but if it had to happen why the hell couldn't Ireland get a better deal than two third round picks. I hope to god that this move was to solidify us getting Peyton otherwise we have no receiving corp and this team is fucked!!!!!

I am in shock....and depressed.....and angry all at once!!!!!

There better be more details coming out of the Dolphins because of this. How can you get rid of our top #1 guy for 2 thirds... This better be a great draft coming up.

YES...YES...YES!!! I love this news! This is a great day in Dolphins history!

Joe Philbin is about "HIGH CHARACTER" players. When it comes to character Marshall is less than zero! Throwing Matt Moore under the bus at the Pro Bowl was probably the last straw! Who the hell wants this guy as a teammate, answer: Nobody with any class or decency!

Let him go drop easy touchdowns and lose games for Chicago! The fact the best deal we could get was 2 third round picks tells you what others think of Marshall around the league. And they don't think much of him!

Thank you Ireland and Philbin! Thank you Miami Dolphins!! This guy wasn't worth a third of what he was getting paid and we open up a bunch of money now not to mention 2 third round picks!

I had to check the date to make sure this was not April Fool's Day.

What a ridiculous trade.  If they've got a plan that they need to implement and this is how they do it, that's fine, but...

ONLY getting two 3rd rounders for Marshall is ridiculous.  Regardless of whatever plan they might have, Marshall is worth more than two 3rds.  Sounds like someone got fleeced.  I don't believe for a second that's the best deal they could get.  More likely, it was the first offer.  

This is just plain stupid.  I was actually starting to feel good about this team again, guess that optimism was misplaced.

To be honest, this deal just killed my enthusiasm for the season.

If we keep Marshall and add Manning and Wayne, there's a potential for Greatest Show On Turf-type fireworks.  Without Marshall, even IF we get Manning and Wayne, this team has the approximate ceiling of the 2010 Colts.  BFD.

If we don't get Manning, I hope CLE gets Flynn.  Ireland cannot stay if he screws up this offseason as badly as it seems that he has.

Marshall makes a boatload of money and drops a ton of balls, 2 third round picks for him is fair market value! Stats don't always tell the story, Marshall isn't an elite WR but gets paid like one. 2 thirds for him is fair!

This could very easily be part of their plan on chasing Matt Flynn. Regardless of who the QB they try for, I don't think keeping Marhsall around for any of them would be a good decision.

Also, while two thirds may be a bit low, I think several of you seriously overvalue/undervalue things.
