The Chicago Bears got the wide receiver they've desperately needed. Before the starting of NFL free agency, Jay Glazer reports that the Bears sent two third-round picks to the Miami Dolphins for wide receiver Brandon Marshall.
Chicago Bears send two 3rd-round picks to Dolphins for Brandon Marshall
The move also reunites Marshall with Bears quarterback Jay Cutler. The two previously. played together for the Denver Broncos.
The Bears had two third-round picks this year, 74 and 80. It was unclear which of the two the team traded. The second third-round pick is in the 2013 draft.
There are greater ramifications to this trade. Firstly, the Bears will probably no longer target a wide receiver in the first round of the draft this year. They’ll likely want to add another receiver, but not one that highly. For the Dolphins, it leads to questions about how this will impact their effort to sign quarterback Peyton Manning.
When they Dolphins traded for Marshall they gave up two second-round picks. To say his career in Miami was a failure is an understatement.
