Bears Trade for Brandon Marshall

With issues in the wide receiver category, the Bears now have a top wide receiver after they traded for Miami Dolphins' Brandon Marshall, well that's if Marshall will be able to stay out of trouble off of the field.  In return for Brandon Marshall the Dolphins received two third-round draft picks in the upcoming 2012 NFL draft.  Marshall ended the season last year with 81 catches for 1,214 yards and will definitely give the Bears the receiver that Cutler has been searching for since he came to the Bears.  A lot of people took to twitter to express how they felt about Marshall being traded including former teammate running back Reggie Bush who tweeted "Hate to see my boy B Marshall go.  That's the league for you, one day your here next day you're gone.  Chicago is getting one hell of a player".

Marshall may be an excellent player on the field but he seems to continuously be getting in trouble off the field.  In recent Marshall drama a woman is claiming that Marshall punched her in the face in a nightclub in New York.  The incident supposedly occurred Sunday night before the trade between the Bears and Dolphins took place.  According to a statement released by Marshall's lawyer Brandon was not involved int he incident in which a fight broke out in the nightclub and the incident is currently under investigation by the police.  Both teams were aware of the incident involving Marshall but still decided to proceed with the trade.  Bears' general manager Phil Emery stated that the Bears were fully aware of what occurred over the weekend with Marshall and that have high expectations of Marshall as a Bear.

Honestly I hope that the incident is not true, as Marshall has had enough drama and trouble off the field in the past.  This trade to the Bears could be a really fresh start for Marshall and it could be great for the Bears.  Stay tuned on the details of the incident as well as next season once the season get started to see how Cutler and Marshall do for the Bears.
