Dolphins trade Brandon Marshall to Bears
- Share via
NFL free agency has started with a splash.
The Miami Dolphins have traded receiver Brandon Marshall to the Chicago Bears, reuniting him with quarterback Jay Cutler. The two were teammates in Denver.
Fox’s Jay Glazer first reported the deal, which sends the combustible star to Chicago in exchange for third-round picks in the next two drafts.
The Bears were one of several teams eyeing San Diego receiver Vincent Jackson, among the most coveted offensive players in free agency.
Marshall has five consecutive 1,000-yard seasons and was MVP of the Pro Bowl this year with four touchdown catches.
