they're like the same guy, only marshall is younger.

Apparently Peyton Manning had misgivings about playing with Marshall, so this is them trying to entice him.

i love you peyton manning for being a weirdo.

[bukie]

He may not be a top 10 WR, but he's easily the Bears' best WR in at least 15 years.

[ctcf]

Phenomenal news. Getting the band back together!

[Banedon]

Jay tried to tell us a while ago.

Bears cannot draft offense but trading for Cutler and Marshall a few years apart is as good as it's been in decades.

Sources said the Bears were working hard to sign Vincent Jackson in free agency but his price tag could have gone beyond what they wanted to spend.

This is where Lovie's coaching has to help. Lovie should be able to keep "malcontents" from being too much of a distraction.

Almost three years ago, the Chicago Bears traded for Jay Cutler after years of unsuccessfully trying to develop their own quarterback. Now, they’ve traded for the wide receiver he worked so well with in Denver.

 

The Bears have packaged two third-round draft picks to the Miami Dolphins to acquire Brandon Marshall, hooking Cutler up with the big target he’s sought since he arrived here. Jay Glazer of Fox Sports first reported the news. Marshall, 27, comes from the Miami Dolphins where he caught 81 passes for 1,214 yards and six touchdowns last season.

 

The 6-4 Marshall instantly gives the Bears’ offense, now under first-year coordinator Mike Tice, a big-time playmaker. The Bears had an extra third-round pick in this year’s draft from the Panthers for the Greg Olsen trade. It’s not known what specific picks were sent to the Dolphins.

 

Sources said the Bears were working hard to sign Vincent Jackson in free agency but his price tag could have gone beyond what they wanted to spend.
