Brandon Marshall To Be Traded to Miami

First Dansby, now Marshall.

In the wake of all the big moves the Jets have made, the 'Phins are also trying to shake things up in the East with some big-name acquisitions.

A lot of us feared this was to happen after we heard Miami was shopping around WR Teddy Ginn yesterday.

This news came in from ESPN's Adam Schefter, who confirmed it with this Tweet:

Filed to ESPN: Brandon Marshall is going to be traded to the Miami Dolphins for a second-round pick this year and another pick next year.

It is rumored to be for a second-round pick in both 2010 and 2011, according to league sources in an article (here), but this is not confirmed yet.

The question is: 'Will Parcells be able to keep him in line?'

On ESPN's 'Mike and Mike in the Morning,' Schefter said he still believed WR Ted Ginn would be moved.

Marshall is reportedly flying to Miami for a physical. If he passes, he will indeed, be a Dolphin.

How fun will Revis vs Marshall be to watch? Could this be the deciding factor to have the Jets host Miami in the MNF opener?

2 second round picks, one in 2010, one in 2011.

I’m taking Holmes for a 5th over that. Not concerned in the slightest

a second for a top 5 WR is most certainly a steal

I’ve heard the 2011 pick may be a conditional second rounder

its 2 , 2nd round picks

by realsouthace on Apr 14, 2010 8:45 AM EDT up reply actions  

I wouldn’t call two 2nd round picks a steal, it’s a good deal for Miami that was needed, but wouldn’t say a steal. We didn’t need to spend two 2nd round selections on a guy like Marshall, that’s why I’d prefer the Holmes deal (for the Jets), Miami needed that #1 receiver badly to try and keep up. So congrats to them, good deal for Miami, wouldn’t of been a good deal for the Jets.

This is a great trade for us.

We can easily recoup one of the 2nds by trading down the first…. someone will want to move up.

Holmes is closer to a full year suspension than Marshall (hard to believe but true). As for needing the WR badly to keep up….we were dead last in the division with WR’s, now we are either 2nd or tied with you guys for 2nd.

We’re going to have some battles…..however.

Revis can take away Marshall (he’s done it to ever elite WR in the league)…. but Ginn (if can catch) can easily outrun Cromartie…and Bess is now open in the slot all day.

But more importantly:
We were a running team. And we still have a top 10 Rushing attack in the league…..you can’t stack the box against us anymore with Marshall no the team….so, I as a Miami fan am really excited.

All in all, the AFC East became dominant again.
The Pats can draft….so I refuse to count them and their three 2nd rounders out.

So there I was.....asleep when it happened.....the buzzing of the blackberry woke me up....still groggy, I rubbed my eyes, and read the incoming email.

Revis erases Marshall and allows us to still stack the box. All the rest of what you said is more hope than fact (if we improve our pass rush, you can forget passing altogether, especially if Henne has a soph slump).

But I would definitely be excited if I were you guys. Marshall is arguably the best WR in the league.

by Crackback on Apr 14, 2010 12:08 PM EDT up reply actions  

Can I trade you J-Lo and Fergie for Revis? ;)

Seriously though, its going to be a great battle once again this year.
We’ve both got some weapons on offense (Shonn Green is a stud)… I’m not sold on Keller just yet, he disappears too much much like our own Fasano….but the potential is definitely there.

Both Henne and Sanchez could both have Sophomore slumps….but we both obviously hope not. Henne needs to work on his touch passes (can’t throw 100 mph passes on a screen), and Sanchez needs to lower that TD/INT ratio which is way not in his favor.

For the most part our teams are younger, and we’re both surrounded by talent. I like the fact that the rivalry will be very hotly contested.

Not Happy about this

I don’t like it one bit. My reason is because Miami is in our division, they beat us twice last year, granted it was special teams that let us down the second game after we stuffed the wildcat. Marshall on the outside will add another element for us to have to defend they just got alot better. I would have preferred he go to the Seahawks………but it is what it is.

by NYC KID on Apr 14, 2010 11:12 AM EDT up reply actions  

well we improved

can’t expect other teams to just sit on their hands. They got one of their missing pieces. However remember they still have a few more holes to patch up. Not saying they can’t hurt us but we haven’t done too shabby ourselves.

That would be interesting....

if we can get Wierd Al to trade a 2nd for Ronnie…..I can see lots of potentials.
We may take Spiller and then we’d have one of the most dynamic offenses in the league.
Or more than likely trade back, pick up Thomas, and use the 2nd to get a NT or OLB.

Maybe Blount in later rounds

I still think we try and woo

Davis into giving us a 1st for a really speedy guy, like say Ted Ginn. Then grab Spiller and Thomas (or Berry if he falls).

I won’t give up hope that Davis really is that bat shiat crazy.

Was just thinking the same thing (3rd place NE).

Wonder if the books still will inflate the line and NE will somehow still be the slight fave to win the East once again?

They love shading lines in favor of Tom Brady & Belichick, but this year things may change. Esp with the moves Jets and MIA have made so far & draft still to come.

All that Miami needs now really is some pieces on the defense (NT, pass rusher, S I think?) and they’ll be set up pretty much just like us. However, you can never count NE out with Brady at the helm. They’re going to do better than anyone thinks they will. The Bills… well :(

But anyhow! I have a feeling that the AFC East is gonna be the premier division of the league this year, and maybe take over the NFC East’s crown as the home of perrenial powerhouses for the decade.

Glad someone mentioned the Bills in the division. Talk about a team with no relevance in the division. Whether in Rich stadium or Rogers in Canada, it won’t matter. The top three teams have achieved a level of parity, while the Bills have fallen of the map. Maybe Chan Gailey can appear on DWTS!

Miami took the lead with what? lol definitely not having the same team, Dansby is a non factor because we already have one of the best 1-2 ILB combinations in the league with Harris and Revis, you still need a NT, you still need S help, On paper you got closer, but your still off being as good as the Jets.

You know, I think we take for granted that we have TWO starting caliber NTs

One of which is an all-pro level NT when healthy… and there are two teams in our division that need just ONE, along with another two or three teams around the league. STACKED.

On top of that, the Dolphins are drafting and hoping to nail it on 3 positions where they need immediate help, whereas the Jets are picking for depth. So for this year at the very least, the Jets are definitely winning the offseason battle.

Of course, in the end, none of this matters and we’ll see how it actually plays out on the field. :P

Cromartie’s been in a system not tailored to his unique abilities ever since that pro bowl year. There’s a lot of good reasons to expect him to revert back to that form with the Jets. Dansby is a great signing, obviously, but he’s already 28 or 29. Cromartie’s still just 25 years old man. TWENTY-FIVE!

As for the WRs… Marshall might be better than Holmes, but not by much, AND we already have a Marshall-esque player here. And we got our guy for pennies as opposed to what you gave up for your guy. And our guy’s shenanigans are cheeky and fun! But your guy’s shenanigans are cruel and tragic.

And on top of that, we got a pretty damn good safety (when healthy) in Brodney Pool.

According to the article I read in Miami Herald,

they are rumoring the deal to be averaging around $10 million a year with around $30 million or more guaranteed. No word on how long it is for then, but I would assume if they are doing something that big, it would have to be around 5 years.

Yeah, I'm also hearing stuff that it might be

the biggest WR contract in the league. If that’s the case, I’m really hoping that they have incentive clauses in there that he doesn’t get paid as much if he gets into trouble off the field. Otherwise that’s a pretty big risk for the amount of money they are throwing at him.

No, we know that adding Marshall doesn't

fill all our holes. But we feel that our offense was a #1 receiver away from being mostly set. We definitely know we still have holes that need filling on defense (FS, NT, OLB), but this fills a huge gap on our offense so now we can focus on our defense more in the draft.

Ok MIA fans: I like adding that calibar without giving up the 1st round pick, and I think he is a great player.

MIA and NYJ have and will always be a very tough rivalry. No matter how great or crappy either team is in any year, they always play tough. I dont think you can compare off seasons like this. What will matter is how they play on field.

Oh, and the Jets look like this:
Probowl OL
Edwards, Holms, Cotchery WR
Keller TE
Greene, Tomlinson, Washington RB
Richardson FB
Sanchez QB

If we get the Sanchez and Greene from the playoffs in 2010 – this will be a good year
And our D only got better so far, and we still have the draft to add some pass rush and CB. Of course, unless we get Taylor. And if someone could teach Gholston how to play OLB or even move him back to DE, he might be useful.

less than 200 yards in every game I believe. And you ran 38 times per game….. with your WR core do you really want to take the ball outta the QB’s hands?

It is NOT the same thing AT ALL. He had a year to watch Chad Freaking Pennington and learn from him—and he’s a guy that people say is gonna be a coach in the not-too-distant future.

Of course

But getting to sit on a team and see what the NFL’s all about all while learning from and watching a consummate QB like Chad made Henne FAR more prepared than Sanchez was in his first year. And remember that Sanchez only had 16 starts in college. SIXTEEN. One and a quarter college seasons! I’m pretty sure Henne was at least the starter for two, if not three. And then he got to sit for a year under a guy who is likely the best mentor QB in the league. The comparison is almost completely irrelevant. I’d say to compare Henne to Rodgers, but that’s not even fair.

keep in mind the playbook for Henne and the playbook for CP10

are going to be completely different as they have different skill sets.

Henne can easily go downfield and throw a bullet…while CP was more of a short to intermediate guy….sure he could lob a 40 yarder, but it wasn’t getting there quick.

I agree. But he knew the verbiage and the sets and what the keys were on the defenses he opposed. Might have been a different play call, but he knew the book prior to getting thrown in the fray. Not to mention he had a year to get to know his teammates and vice versa.

Sanchez got thrown to the wolves. He wasn’t even named starter in training camp so his snaps were even more limited. Yet he guided his team to the playoffs (yes, run-heavy, but still) and won two playoff games on the road where he was significant in those victories. He overcame the NY media and a mid-season WR shuffle with the acquisition of Braylon. What he did what nothing short of impressive.

Henne had every advantage. Sanchez was a true rookie. Henne was a red shirt.

I can definitely see this rivalry turning into

who has the better young secondary and who has the better young QB. The secondary I’ll have to give to you guys for now, at least until I see who we get to play FS. You guys definitely have the more experienced secondary which is a big advantage, and our corners are just entering their second year, so we need to see how they develop.

As for QBs, we both got young QBs who are entering their second year (essentially for Henne) and it will be big to see how they do. Will they improve over their performance last year? Will they suffer a sophmore slump? I can see both of these areas as things the media starts talking about when we get around to playing each other. But regardless, it is going to make for some damn good games and a very interesting rivalry.

Yep, Sanchez vs. Henne!

I really like Henne (even with all the ints last year), but I also really like Sanchez—he is gorgeous (I am female, BTW).

This might be better than Marino vs. O’Brien! Look out Tom Brady!

Love to hate cha, but love to watch the games 2x year even more.

Most of these games are starting to look like 28-31, 34-27 kinda scores. and the occasional 17-13

The difference between the Marshall and Holmes trades is not the picks they gave up, its the amount of money involved. Marshall is getting a deal worth about 50 million. Combined with the Dansby contract – 93 MILLION dollars in 2 players. Phins had better hope the Salary Cap isn’t coming back.

by Ryan Alfieri on Apr 14, 2010 11:52 AM EDT reply actions  

knowing our front office.

Most of this is going to be a signing bonus and count this year….to lessen the salary cap hit.
Not to mention, even if the cap comes back, its likely the NFL will institute a sliding cap, or have a % forgiveness for the teams that overspend this year.

They can’t just go back to a hard cap after teams overspend this year. especially when those teams signed players to a legit by the rules contract.

My guess is the cap will be a bit higher, but slowly get lower over 3-5 years to allow team to get back under it.

Teams aren’t overspending They’re underspending. Players are upset that teams no longer have a cap floor.

by Ryan Alfieri on Apr 14, 2010 12:00 PM EDT up reply actions  

This is definitely true.

But teams like yours and mine have spent pretty heavily here in the offseason.
I’m not sure how your cap situation was before, but ours had a little wriggle room, but not a lot.

We also dropped a lot of salary getting rid of Gibril Wilson…..that was some serious dead weight.

Marshall is from South Florida

Already spent most of his time there anyway.

Santonio got in trouble here in Columbus all the time…. Scary to think about him in NY. But who knows. Sometimes a suspension is what gets you back on track.

Didn't Marshall get into a lot of trouble down there in college?

Correct me if I’m wrong but I’m pretty sure that’s why he was drafted so low…

True. And I agree that some of his perception is unwarranted. But if his rap sheet tells us anything, its that he’s immature. Hopefully for you guys his marriage has helped him with that. But immaturity and South Beach is not a good combo.

Brandon Marshal welcome to Revis Island!!!!! Please take a seat next to…. Chad Ochocinco, Randy Moss, Vincent Jackson ,Reggie Wayne, Steve Smith and many other big name WR’s who get lost here don’t worry it will not be over soon! lets go jets miami still has way to many holes!!!!!

You have a great D, no lies.

But we continue to find ways to score….our Defense is going to be much better this year as well with the addition of Mike Nolan, and Karlos Dansby.

We both need Safeties…. and with the WR’s in our division, this could be a key position

marshal hypes the rivalry up a few notch

marshal helps u guys out a ton he is some one teams have to focus on no doubt .. even wit Homes and Edwards we are still a running team we just now can beat ya both ways as soon as teams bit on the run we will bit them wit a long pass if edwards could catch we would have made more headway last year … plus ill take a rookie over kerry any day of the week he has no heart and thinks he was entitled to be given his position so ill take a rookie over him any day of the week.

Last Time I checked

Chad Henne wasnt Matt Schaub, Tom Brady, and Peyton Manning, and Brandon Marshall isnt head and shoulders any better than Andre Johnson, Randy Moss, and Reggie Wayne, yet all of them got handled, and Miami wont be. We will see.

by Vaughn Parker on Apr 14, 2010 12:37 PM EDT via mobile up reply actions  

There are rumors Miami may want to trade up for Spiller....

Can you imagine motioning him outside too? ack!

although, in my opinion, I’d rather see them get Berry (in the unlikely event he falls to 12), or trade back and get Earl Thomas, and recoup our 2nd round pick….

Id also see nobody back there to pick up the blitz. Can u imagine Hughes with a free run to the QB? Yikes!!

by Crackback on Apr 14, 2010 1:07 PM EDT up reply actions  

I would hate that.

I really don’t want you guys to pick up Hughes. I was really hoping that we’d take him in the 2nd, but now that we traded that pick, we either got to trade down or trade a player for picks.

blasphemous as this is to say...

I expect Marshall to have one really good game with Revis covering him next year. Despite all of his off the field issues, this guy is a beast on the field. Probably the best receiver in the league outside of Larry Fitzgerald. He really doesn’t have many discernible weaknesses.

This is all assuming that Henne doesn’t take a step backward, which I honestly don’t expect him to. I expect the Pats to finish a distant third this year.

by SioneBAAOOOHA on Apr 14, 2010 1:33 PM EDT reply actions  

A speculation

since you guys have edwards, holmes, and cotchery, whats to say the dolphins dont find a way to get Eric Berry or Earl Thomas, maybe even Taylor Mays, if they do get Taylor Mays or Berry whats to say one of them doesnt scare the recieving group especially Mays who loves to prey on little recievers lol

by Carl Johnson a.k.a CJ on Apr 14, 2010 1:53 PM EDT reply actions  

Speculation is that we trade down and maybe go for Thomas...

Unless Berry somehow miraculously falls to us at #12…… I’d sacrifice a slighty-used virgin for that to happen.

Mays...........

Parcells loves size and potential, we might get mays, he was asked to focus on the run more than pass and do clean ups his last couple of years whats to says hes no a ball-hawk or ferocious hitter that can play center field and allow yeremiah to come into the box and move around more

by Carl Johnson a.k.a CJ on Apr 14, 2010 2:05 PM EDT up reply actions  

Noone wants Mays

He’s a liability in coverage, and thats what we had in Wilson.
No way we draft Mays.

Berry would be the better pick, but one thing about Berry is he plays with reckless abadon he throws himself at the feet of ballcarriers whats to says he doesn’t end up on ir his first season

by Carl Johnson a.k.a CJ on Apr 14, 2010 2:15 PM EDT up reply actions  

You can say that about anyone though...

Berry is the clear cut #1 Safety in the draft.
Thomas is 2nd
Mays might be third…but its a good drop off in that the other 2 are good in coverage and hitting, and Mays is a bit lacking in coverage.

If Berry = #1 safety

if Berry is the # safety whats to say Berry doesnt get picked before we pick, and we have the choice of Thomas or Mays, again what Im saying is Parcells has the last say in most otheir decisions and whats to say Mays isn’t on the board cause coverage can be coached

by Carl Johnson a.k.a CJ on Apr 14, 2010 2:23 PM EDT up reply actions  

I've been pretty clear in saying that Berry will likely be gone

But pretty much ever NFL analyst has Thomas going next, and Mays going in the 2nd round.

No, I'm saying they are both struggle in coverage.

We need someone who doesn’t struggle in coverage.
Earl Thomas is much better in that respect than Taylor Mays.

No to Mays.

We had enough of a FS with crappy coverage skills last year thank you very much. We’re aiming for Berry(unlikely) or Thomas(much better chance of getting him). The only other person I can see us making a play for at FS is if OJ Atogwe becomes a UFA on July 1.

Thing about Thomas is that he’s still very green. He’s only a sophmore. It might be a year before he’s no longer a liability, and another before he’s actually good in the NFL.
