Marshall traded to the Bears!

[MikeO]

Unless this ends with Manning joining the team...

Vincent Jackson is going to Tampa.

You still got Wayne, Garcon, Manningham on the market.

And with extra picks maybe Miami try's to move up to get Blackmon. Minny is shopping the #3 pick

[Spider-Dan]

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

Do you know why I think two thirds is low?  Because Ireland paid two seconds for him.

[MikeO]

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.

Miami had the money free for Flynn already, this might be to try and free money for MARIO WILLIAMS! (just a hunch)

and they recognized it was a HUGE mistake and tried to get out from under that mistake ASAP! And they have done that. I got no problem knocking Ireland or anyone on the Fins, but I can't knock them for this trade. It's a fair trade. Marshall just isn't as good as some think. He can't be depended on, off the field he is a nightmare with stabbings and fighting with cab drivers, nobody will take on that HUGE contract AND give up high picks for a screwball WR who drops ball. Two 3rd round picks if fair, I'm sorry it is!

Garcon said on FB he's signing with the Redskins...Just thought I'd throw that out there....

I'm in the happy B.Marshall is gone, wish we could have gotten more.....

Touch...Dropped,Score!..oh wait he dropped it..Touchdown Miami....errr...No....Those are my Brandon Marshall memories...

Modfied to add: I guess Cutler/Marshall Twitter banter...There was actually something to it...My bad

[Diehard_Dolfan]

I think the front office just found a way to keep us as the butt of all the "WTF" were they thinking jokes!  The whole Sparano/Harbaugh fiasco... and now "GIVING" Marshall away!  If Manning passes on Miami we're really going to look like the Keystone Dolphins!

I've never wavered as a Dolfan but, even i'm starting to have doubts about my team!!   I'm hoping Philbin has a plan using the pieces we have or this will be another ugly season! The only hope I have now is Philbin! Green Bay's receiving corps was not considered much outside of Donald Driver before Jennings stepped up... so maybe he sees something in the corps we have?

[Spider-Dan]

Two third round picks is a plan if you're trying to rebuild.  For a team that is trying to sign a 36-year-old QB and WIN NOW, what kind of RIGHT NOW return are you going to see from a 2013 third-rounder?  It's idiotic.

You'd be better off trading Marshall for players than for picks if you are trying to WIN NOW.  Hell, get Devin Hester and Johnny Knox.  That would have been a better deal than this horsesh*t.

[Phishfan]

I get that but do you honestly think Marshall warranted much more? The league leader in dropped passes with that high of a salary is not going to create that much demand. To really evaluate how this deal works out, you are going to need to wait and see what happens with the other draft picks and Marshall in Chicago. You can't evaluate it on what you gave up to get Marshall.

I'm not talking money. I'm talking about convincing Flynn to come here. I don't expect having Marshall on the roster is a great bargaining position for Peyton, nor a great developmental position for Flynn.

[CF DolFan]

Eh ... I'm pretty indifferent right now. I was surprised we gave him up for two third rounders (considering he cost us us two seconds) but otherwise I hope this is a set up for something better. I can't help but feel something good will happen soon. I mean sooner or later we have to hit bottom and start going back up .. right?

[tepop84]

Ireland is such a fucking douchebag.

[Doc-phin]

I am nearly in tears, seriously.

The only way I can come out of this OK is with Manning and Reggie Wayne.  A major long shot!  We just got rid of our best player.

What about Matt Flynn and Mario Williams? Would it be ok then if we signed both of them? I'm just asking to gauge where people are at.

Because I think this is a case of one move setting up another big move.

Reports are Manning wasn't thrilled playing with Brandon. Flynn just wants his one big pay day he doesn't care who our WR's are. He loves the coach and wants to get paid, that is all he cares about concerning Miami.

LOL, tell that to Browns fans! LOL
