Bears acquire Marshall

[Ozzie]

The Bears have acquired WR Brandon Marshall from the Dolphins in exchange for a 3rd round pick in the 2012 and 2013 drafts.

The trade brings Jay Cutler and Marshall back together again, who played together for the Broncos.

This could hurt their chances of getting Peyton Manning....but I think that's really the only down-side to it. Good move, in my opinion.

I think Jay Cutler will appreciate this. Brandon Marshall may end up being Johnny Knox's replacement, as I doubt Johnny Knox will be the same after that injury late last season. Earl Bennett didn't have a very good season last year though, so he might be out of Chicago soon, even though he has a lot of chemistry with Jay Cutler. Seriously though, Devin Hester, Johnny Knox, and Brandon Marshall.

Didn't bennet just get like a 3 or 4 year extension with the bears?

Didn't hear that... Should be interesting reuniting Marshall and Cutler. Still have mixed feelings about this deal though. There's a reason he's been traded twice before he's 28..

The Bears are going to be so much better next year. Marshall as number 1 receiver, then they are going to draft a number 2 receiver, and then Bennett in the slot. This will be a good year for the Bears. Cutler is so happy.
