bigruss Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Mar 13, 2012 -> 03:11 PM) One of the thirds is apparently a 2013 3rd rounder, so the Bears still have 1 of their 2 third rounders this year as well. Still can't believe it's that cheap, just a fantastic move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyyle23 Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Mar 13, 2012 -> 03:13 PM) Greg Olsen trade doesn't look so bad now, does it? Eh, it is still a position of need, but this sure makes it sting less than it did yesterday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balta1701 Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 QUOTE (G&T @ Mar 13, 2012 -> 03:59 PM) So I guess Peyton told them "No." QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ Mar 13, 2012 -> 04:00 PM) Yeah right. I doubt they even think about trading him before the Manning thing plays out. QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Mar 13, 2012 -> 04:00 PM) I just was saying that to one of my co-workers. Supposedly Marshall's cap hit is somewhere in the neighborhood of $11 million, and that could have been a serious issue while trying to sign Manning and any of his previous WR's.

zenryan Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Good trade for both the Bears and Phins. Bears finally get a WR threat for Cutler. Dolphins clear space for Manning and Wayne. And if Miami doesnt get Manning/Wayne then there is no reason to have Marshall around. Kinda like a last place team with a stud closer. Just get rid of him and get something in return because you arent going to be competing for a playoff spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoxFan1 Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 I really love the duo of Marshall/Bennett in theory. I'd still use a 1st or 2nd to take a WR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly they still need another body at that spot, but now they can hesitate to see where other pieces fall. If they happen to miss out on Williams, then they can use some of their remaining cap to go after someone like Meachem or Manningham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoSox05 Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 @michaelombardi Sounds like the Bears wont get Mario Williams, the deal is getting too rich and appears the Bills are in the lead--with the most money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxFan1 Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 This is hitting me like it hit me when we traded for Cutler. Back then it was, "The Bears have a legitimate starting QB". Now it's, "The Bears have a real #1 WR." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
