In the first big move of the free agent period this off-season the Dolphins traded Pro Bowl wide receiver Brandon Marshall to the Bears in return for two 3rd round picks. While some say that this is a horrible trade for the Dolphins, and that the Bears got a steal, this trade can be looked at another way too. I’m looking at this trade as the Dolphins way of clearing space for their biggest target of the off-season, Peyton Manning. But they didn’t get rid of Marshall to make space for Manning. They cleared room for Peyton’s favorite receiver, Reggie Wayne. This is just another way that Peyton Manning is controlling this years off-season without even trying. Look for other teams in the race for Manning to load up on wide receiver talent as well as offensive line talent in attempts to sign Peyton. It’s going to be one crazy off-season that’s for sure.

Just goes to show you what the threat of a lockout will do to any league. Sam Hurd just needed some extra income on top of what I guess is probably a league minimum salary. The Bears are probably just framing this guy so they can get him off the team. I guess it’s hard to catch the ball with white powder all over your hands.
Who tells their drug supplier that they play for the Bears, and that they have to wait until after practice is over to pay them? On top of that he knew that police were investigating him after he called them last year to get drug money that they confiscated back. Someone should have told Sam Hurd not to quit his day job. Too late now. That 90 year old grandpa from Detroit was a better drug dealer than this guy.
