Dolphins Land Brandon Marshall For 2nd Round Picks

Denver Broncos wide receiver Brandon Marshall (R) wards off Kansas City Chiefs cornerback Travis Daniels during the second half of the Broncos win in their NFL football game at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri  December 6, 2009.
What's going on in the AFC East?? First the Jets start landing players left and right and now the Dolphins have got into the action trading 2 second round picks for Brandon Marshall. Years ago, all these moves would have been made by the Patriots.

Anyway, B. Marshall gets a new 4 year, $47.5 million contract for coming to South Florida and all of a sudden the Dolphins are real contenders. Chad Henne finally has somebody to throw to, and now they don't have to use that 12th pick on a receiver. Or they still could take Dez Bryant and line him up on the other side of Marshall. Man, that would be a problem!

Another missed opportunity for Jerry Jones though. If Denver took Kyle Orton and some drfat picks in exchange for Jay Cutler, I think they'd take Roy Williams and maybe a 3rd or 4th rounder for Marshall. Oh well, I'm happy with our WR corps (outside of Roy of course) anyway.
