Adam Schefter just reported that Marshall will be traded to the phins for a 2nd this year and another pick next year. It looks like the pick next year will likely be our number 2 as well.

It seems there are no receivers that have no baggage. Like all these guys Marshall , Holmes , Edwards , TO , you make the move & take your chances. Hope this one works out.

So I guess this means no Dez at 12?

I emailed Iowafin a few days ago that I thought Miami would take a run at Brandon. I know Jeff Ireland said Miami would not pursue Marshall or Owens and I knew Owens did not have a chance. But Ireland and given false information before and when Marshall signed his tender which allowed the Broncos to take less than a 1st round pick, I thought Miami would get involved since I thought they were serious about taking Dez Bryant.

Love the trade and fills a huge need with one of the top 5 WR in the league at only 26 years old.

Great news... Puts our offense at another level...

Now just to get JT back and sign a FS......

You never know Ski.... Could still happen... Would make our passing game pretty scary...

Dez Bryant @ #12 is pretty much dead, but I think this indicates that Miami realized they needed a big, physical WR and as much as some on this board hated the thought of drafting Bryant, he was very much in play.

I think Miami was entertaining trading down to begin with and they will certainly look more into it now to try to recoup that 2nd round pick back.

If they do trade down, I believe Everson Griffen, the DE/OLB from Southern Cal is definitely in play along with Earl Thomas, the safety from Texas.

Brandon certainly comes with baggage, but he is a top 5 WR in this league and he is 26 years old. He addresses a huge need for Miami and he is a proven commodity.

I am in agreement with those that have mentioned that he comes with baggage. Of course, Dez Bryant came with baggage as well and in truth, was still a bit of an unknown. At least with Marshall his NFL ability is established. With all things considered which would we rather have, Marshall and the first round (#12) this year or Dez Bryant and the second round (#43) this year and the second round (#64) next year ... you know, since we will get the last pick of the round as defending Super Bowl champs.

One thing it does mean is that if we don't trade down and gather picks, #12 has to be spot-on since it will be a while before we pick again. Gotta be the nose tackle or safety I would guess but who knows. I would still love to see them make the deal that still gets rumored out here at Dallas ... Miles Austin and Dallas' #1 for our #1 but I think that is still a pipe dream. Miles and Marshall? Anyone else think that would be an interesting tandem? Think it can't happen? Recent video seems to indicate if you can get Jerry Jones liquored up, he might just agree to anything.

This is FANTASTIC NEWS!!!!!!!!! Great job to the front office for pulling off this trade! Take that JETS!!!!!!!!!!!!

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!! Dreams do come true for Dolphin fans! This is huge like when we got Ricky Williams and I have that same elated feeling about having Marshall!!

I am beside myself and now hope Brandon steps in and stays out of trouble and I look forward to him dominating as our go to wideout!!!

I say dont trade Ted Ginn. Imagine, Brandon Marshall, Ted Ginn, Davone Bess and Camarillo as our four wide set, with Hartline rotating!!!!!!

So who were the bridge jumpers saying that "we are not doing anything the Jets are doing great", blah blah blah, whiners, just zip it!

_________________

I wrote about this before and about how this would be huge for Miami. Marshall is a dominator. He will free up Ginn from double coverage and Bess/Camarillo should flourish. Unbelievable acquisition by Miami

100+ catches a year for two 2nd round picks?? I'll take it baby!!

Note* - Merged the 2 Marshall is a Phin topics.

This has as much to do with wanting to draft defense and not using the pick on another WR hopeful. Now, do they trade all the way up to the third spot for a safety?

If anything we trade back to get our 2nd round pick back.

I am so glad we made this trade I think it puts a whole new light on this team.....
Now we get Spiller and send Ronnie on his way

I went to bed expecting this deal to be done today. I clicked on ESPN expecting to see something, but was shocked when I actually saw something. I'm excited!
Marshall still is going to have to play nice here, he is going to have to grow up, but if he does we have one of the best receivers in the game.

Hey PR, what did you say last night about this? haha

I am pretty sure Mr. Henne woke up this morning and jizzed in his pants!!! If our Oline stays healthy and he has all day to throw to Marshall we are going to have one dangerous O!!!!

i give this two thumbs up.

I was just at a Jets blog and they are playing this down big time and calling it a reactionary move. They say Revis will shut him down but I'm pretty sure Revis was on the Jets the last 3 times they lost to the Phins. So.... bring it

hmmmmmmm number 24?...yup that's Revis alright.. I guess when he figures out how to cover Ginn then he'll worry about shutting Marshall down?

Was watching ESPN2 and they were talking about the impact of Marshall. Everyone seemed to agree that this puts the Dolphins in the front battling with the Patsies for the top of the AFC East. 10-6 or 11-5 are possible with an offense that can run and pass. Its amazing we had the limited success we had last season without a passing attack to speak of.
This is a great deal. Last year's round two draft pick - Pat White. I'll take one Marshall over two Pat White's.

As a kid I would wear swimming goggles under my Dolphins helmet in order to look like Bob Griese.

I think that unless we can get a 4th or better for Ginn, we will likely keep him. Not only would he make a nice compliment to Marshall, but he offers this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hpI1wElYoCs&NR=1

White was the 2ndary 2nd rounder.. Sean Smith was 2nd round too... If we had 1 2nd round pick last year it would have went for Smith I am sure....
However, I may trade that for Marshall too...

We need alot of help on D still.. No pass rush, young CB's, no FS.... We still need a TE to compliment the passing game & run block, right now we seem to have good blockers that cant catch...

Bring JT back, sign THomas with the # 12 and we may actually stand a chance...

Otherwise we need to be a super high scoring team.. Similar to NO... It will make up for a lack luster deffense...
