oldschooler Posted April 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 [size="5"][b][color="#015482"]Adam Schefter: Broncos To Trade Brandon Marshall To Dolphins For Second-Round Pick[/color][/b] [/size]April 14, 2010 7:31 AM ET Miami is reeling in a Pro-Bowl wide receiver while Denver is reeling in even more premium picks. For the second straight year, the Broncos will pull off a blockbuster deal, this time trading wide receiver Brandon Marshall to Miami for a second-round pick next Friday and what is thought to be an additional second-round pick in 2011, according to league sources. The trade is contingent upon the league processing the paper work and Marshall passing his physical, neither of which is expected to be an issue Wednesday. Marshall is scheduled to fly to Miami to take his physical and, if he passes, sign what will be one of the most lucrative wide receiver deals in NFL history. It is the type of contract that an unhappy Marshall had been seeking in recent years. Miami will provide it, making Marshall very happy. But the Broncos also will be happy to get two high picks for someone who made plays and caused headaches in almost equal numbers. Once the trade becomes official, it will alter the looks of the AFC East, the AFC West and the draft for the next two years. Just over one week before the draft, Miami will match and even top the wide receiver that the New York Jets landed at the start of this week, when they traded for talented but troubled Steelers wide-out Santonio Holmes. Marshall is one of the game's best young wide receivers, a mercurial talent at the position Miami needed help at most. He is in the prime of his career. But like Holmes, he also brings a reputation of being difficult to handle and a legal record that has him one strike from a year-long suspension. Once Marshall signed his $2.5 million tender with the Broncos Tuesday, it freed Denver to begin shopping him. Miami was hot after Marshall, as was Seattle. Tampa Bay showed some interest and even the Jets considered making a play for Marshall before their deal for Holmes. What the Broncos will receive in return is something of a windfall in these NFL times. This off-season, Holmes went to the Jets for a fifth-round pick, wide receiver Anquan Boldin went to the Ravens for essentially for a third-round pick, and quarterback Donovan McNabb went to the Redskins for a second- and conditional fourth-round pick. Denver got fair, and possibly better than, market value. Now, in just over one year, Denver has recouped an impressive two first-round picks, two second-round picks, a third-round pick and quarterback Kyle Orton in exchange for Jay Cutler and Marshall. They are two big deals for what were two of Denver's best players. But Denver now heads into next Thursday's draft armed with three picks in the top two rounds - but with another hole to fill at wide receiver. Still, it has the ammunition it needs to continue to remake and improve its roster.

scharm Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 Eh, people keep saying a first rounder was a no brainer. Clearly that wasn't. Marshall sat and sat on the market. He's talented but the dude had issues with the Broncos. Dolphins I assume are going to give a truck load of money to the guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turningpoint Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 How did they lose one of their 1st rounders? I thought they had 2, because of the cutler deal, unless they got that last year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bengals1181 Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 I'm glad we didn't get him, but wish he would have left the AFC. AFC East should have fun beating each other up this year, but then again maybe not. Holmes has a 4 game suspension, Edwards may be getting one too, and Marshall is rumored to be one strike away from a 1 year suspension.

The other they got from the Bears is the 11th pick they are using this year. The Seahawks got the Broncos 1st round pick this year (14th) because the Broncos traded it last year so they could draft Alphonso Smith with the 37th pick.

[/quote] In his newest mock, Kiper has the Browns taking Dez . . . [b]Kiper:[/b] I've talked to people around the league about Dez Bryant, and I can tell you the notion that there are concerns about Bryant's character is blown out of proportion. Here the Browns get the best WR in the draft, a threat they really need, and a player that, in a football environment, is a workhorse and a producer. I think K.C. will also be looking hard at Bryant at No. 5, but will ultimately pass and allow the Browns to get him. And he has the Broncos taking Earl Thomas . . . [b]Kiper:[/b] There are scouts who will tell you Thomas is the best pure, instinctive football player in the whole draft. He has big-time aptitude. All that aside, he also fills a developing need for Denver, because [url="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=978"][color="#225fb2"]Brian Dawkins[/color][/url] isn't getting any younger. We've seen safeties rise late -- [url="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=9594"][color="#225fb2"]Donte Whitner[/color][/url] to Buffalo, [url="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=10451"][color="#225fb2"]LaRon Landry[/color][/url] to Washington -- in recent years, and Thomas fits nicely here. McShay has the Broncos taking McClain . . . [b]McShay:[/b] McClain is the only true inside linebacker with a first-round grade and that drives up his value. This might seem a bit early to take him, but McClain will be ready to start from day one and would be a nice centerpiece as the Broncos continue the youth movement in their fairly new 3-4 defensive scheme. McShay has Bryant going to the Bengals . . . [b]McShay:[/b] Bryant is a top-10 talent but character concerns will drop him down the board, and his free fall should end here. The Bengals have shown no regard for character concerns so don't be surprised to see them ignore the baggage Bryant carries with him. There is a lot of talk about Oklahoma TE Jermaine Gresham here, but the Cincinnati receiving corps has been depleted this offseason and there is no better playmaker available for QB Carson Palmer.

And depleted? They've signed 3 vets and lost one. It may not be an awesome corp, but its much better than it was in December. The more I hear McShay talk, the more I believe the talk that he's not respected by scouts around the league for his "knowledge" of the game and that he only hypes players based on who their agent is. Basically, scouts and team personnel around the league have no respect for him because he's arrogant and mis-evaluates players in large part to have never having played nor coached a single down of football.

akiliMVP Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 I doubt the Browns are going to take Bryant after canceling his visit with them.

You trade for Marshall and in 2 years you're looking at a team probably with no Chad and at best Marshall suspended for a year, or at worst shot and dead. Yay for caldwell being your #1 WR.

Bengals1181 Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 Now I definitely think the Bengals load up in the secondary during the draft. They already needed depth, but now they face the following WR's next year: Wayne, Garcon, Collie, Clark Edwards, Holmes, Cotchery, Keller Moss, Welker, Edelmann Boldin, Clayton, Heap, Mason Moore, Henderson, Meachem, Shockey, Bush Marshall, Bess, Camarillo, Ginn (ok so that one's not so bad) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
