Brandon Marshall is Now a Dolphin

Denver has officially washed their hands of troubled wide receiver Brandon Marshall. Earlier this morning he was traded to the Miami Dolphins for two 2nd round draft picks. It’s looks like a fairly good deal for both sides.

Marshall is one of the leagues best receivers. He’s a mismatch for pretty much every defensive back. He has great size and speed, and he has excellent hands. So it’s surprising Denver would traded him with no other receiver that can replace his productivity.

But Marshall and Josh McDaniels have butted heads ever since the coach arrived in Denver. Both are immature, but since Pat Bowlen fired Mike Shanahan and replaced him with McDaniels it was pretty obvious who was going to get the boot.

With the Jets doing everything they can to have the best team on paper, the Dolphins felt in necessary to try to play catchup. This move definitely gives them more ammunition for their gimmick offense to compete for the AFC East title. It’s just a shame Marshall had to go to a team where he may catch more passes from a running back than a quarterback.
