BYGD1 Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 Broncos trade Brandon Marshall to Miami Posted by Mike Florio on April 14, 2010 7:37 AM ET Last month, Dolphins coach Tony Sparano said that receiver Brandon Marshall wouldn't be a good fit for the Dolphins. Hopefully, Sparano won't soon be commenting on whether he'll be the Alabama coach. Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Marshall has been shipped to the Dolphins for a second-round pick in the 2010 draft and "what is thought to be" a second-round selection in 2011. The deal hinges on Marshall passing a physical. (Though a formality, Marshall has had an on-and-off hip issue, the handling of which caused his relationship with the Broncos to sour.) Marshall also expected to sign "one of the most lucrative wide receiver deals" in league history. The top of the market has been $10 million for more than two years, when Larry Fitzgerald parlayed the eight-figure back end of his rookie deal into a new contract. Others, like Randy Moss and Roy Williams, earn $9 million annually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lori Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 Not "done" quite yet -- he still has to pass a physical, cross the Ts, dot the Is, etc., etc. -- but for those wondering, this is per Adam Schefter on Mike+Mike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok. so tell me again, what have the Patriots done to improve their team? while they are great players, it's not like these teams are getting anything close to model citizens. Holmes is already suspended for 4 games, and one more failed drug test away from missing a full year -- not to mention his other off-field troubles. Marshall might improve his attitude with a different team, but he has already proven to be a royal pain in the rear at the drop of a hat. buyer beware....

Steely Dan Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 first time this year I honestly have said why didn't we make this trade. I am usually not one of those people, but 2 2nd rounders is a steal for this. Two second rounders for Brandon Marshall is a robbery. The Bronco's should be jailed for that. As a Bills fan I love this trade. Marshall will be suspended for a year by the beginning of this year or next year, IMO. I think the Jests and Poorpisses attraction to receivers probably has something to do with Buffalo's secondary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertpaul49 Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 Personally, I'm not worried that the Bills did not make this trade. The Bills need to focus on developing a high character team. There is a lot of movement for players with character problems. Any of the players are not going to improve this team, just look at what TO did, and he is a high character guy compared to some of these guys. The Bills need to develop the core of the team which means they need to find a franchise quarterback and build up the offensive and defensive lines.

I don't think re-signing your own player is improvement, but re-upping Wilfork is better than letting a premier lineman walk.

They are getting closer to the top of the AFC East and some would say they (the Jets) are there. The Bills, still trying to figure things out. A franchise shouldn't need 10 rebuilding years in row to show some sort of improvement. The Bills have stayed the same or become worse. We have no legit QB, if we draft the future (fingers crossed it would actually pan out), we can't protect him. So many holes to fill and nothing being done about it.

BillsVet Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 I think the Jests and Poorpisses attraction to receivers probably has something to do with Buffalo's secondary. Are you kidding? As if Miami's offense was stopped cold by the Bills secondary last year? Did you watch the first game where Miami ran the ball down Buffalo's throat? And now Buffalo doesn't have a NT nor proven OLB's for a pass rush. I think Miami's move here is to get a proven pass catching threat. And I've got news for you: team's aren't scared of secondaries unless you've got a pass rush. And right now Buffalo doesn't have that. Good front offices seize opportunities. Buffalo's can't because everything is tied to a 90 something year old owner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H2o Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 The AFC East just keeps getting stronger and stronger. I think Henne to Marshall could be something that we come to dread over the next few years. This also could open up things for Ginn to play in the slot, which is where I believe he would be most effective. More bad news for us I guess.

Rayzer32 Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 Buffalo is interested in __________ , he's awesome. Someone else signs __________, he sucks. This is the perfect anatomy of a Buffalo Bills message board. I personally think Marshall is a top 4 WR in the league and will vastly improve any teams passing game. I don't care if he smokes crack during the off-season. That's his problem. I'm also sick of hearing everyone use the excuse "he has off the field issues, I don't want him here". That is the biggest load of BS. Let's see, Hargrove had issues as a Bills player, Whitner had issues as a Bills player, Marshawn has issues, T.O. was a locker room cancer, and so on. Every team has a few of these guys and every team will continue to for as long as there is NFL football. How many players in the league? A few bad eggs out of 53 does not ruin a team. If they help you win, who !@#$in cares. Hargrove = won SB, Moss = won SB, Rapelesberger = won SB, Burress = won SB, Holmes = won SB and on it goes.

BillsVet Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 Homer goober fans won't admit it, but when it comes to proven personnel guys, I'll side with Bill Parcells on his moves. He's earned the benefit of the doubt, but isn't one to like diva WR's (see Terrell Owens circa 2006). No doubt he understands that Henne needs someone besides Davone Bess, Greg Camarillo, and Ted "Bust" Ginn. In the NFL there are talented front office executives, and pretenders. MIA has bolstered two areas they were weak in: WR and LB with Marshall and Dansby. Ordinarily, I wouldn't put much into being good on paper, but Miami has a solid HC picked by none other than Parcells. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give me a break with this crap. There are so many criminals in the NFL it's not funny. Do yourself a favor and just look up how many NFL players have smacked around their old ladies. You will be shocked. These guys are no different than the people living next door to you or in the slums. They just have a crapload more money and that is it. I guess you don't mind all these players walking around with guns then either. Tell me why that's okay? They don't have them for show and there usually loaded.
