Report: Brandon Marshall to the Dolphins

[freddyg12]

I just realized, this deal included a 2011 pick. there may not even be a draft in 2011!

I would think Denver included a provision for some compensation to account for this, otherwise the Tuna got Marshall for a 2nd.

I was wondering the same thing

[Finslady]

I saw this on NFL.com and nearly blew my coffee everywhere. I had no idea Miami was a serious contender for him. Maybe it was a steep price because he's a headcase, but I can't imagine not having conduct clauses in there.
My fiancee (diehard Skins fan which is why I belong to this site) thinks this was a bad move. He thinks Henne is terrible. I disagree.
To loosely quote Rex Ryan, "We made that guy look like Dan Marino".
Not too shabby against Revis with a no name receiving core.

(Sorry. Had to give my because nobody is answering their phone so I can't pass on my exciting news. Well, except my fiancee who brought me down by bashing Henne.)

There will be a draft in 2011, it's 2012 right now that's up in the air

the 2011 draft is a definite go from what I understand. Kinda the last thing guaranteed to happen before ...

I wonder is Ginn will be traded or outright released?

He hasn't shown much if anything more than Anthony Mix did, except that he hasn't gotten caught banging a 15 year old.

Not to say that he can't.

well, I'm sure that he just meant that next year's is currently valued a bit less

like you see how some people suggest instead of a 2nd this year, offer a 1st next year, etc

[SmootSmack]

4 years, $47.5 million is Marshall's new deal. $24 million guaranteed

[BigHairedAristocrat]

wow, thats alot of money, but very smart to only make it a 4 year deal.

We had ammo enough to make it happen, but 2 2nd round draft picks is too much to give. We have 3 young recievers ready to prove themselves. Any one of them(probably Thomas) can turn into a stud number 1 with Donovan throwing at them. 1000 yds, 7+ Tds. We will turn those draft picks we didn't use on starters at RB & Offensive line. Or maybe the QB of the future beyond Donovan.

Plus he's a malcontent. We've got enough of those. IMO, Brandon Marshall was worth a 2nd a 4th in next years draft to us. Anything more, and let him go elsewhere.

I was happy this morning to see he went to Miami. Away from our division, and they overpaid. Win Win.

ok. so the current cba includes a 2011 draft? Even if there's a lockout & the season isn't actually played?

Thanks! It happened on Christmas Day and was the best gift I could ever have gotten.
Yeah, I'm in RI and already have Patriots fans buzzing. I love it!

How is it up in the air? What happens to the incoming class?
