Denver Broncos wide receiver Brandon Marshall has been traded to the Miami Dolphins for a second-round draft pick in next week's NFL draft and a pick in 2011. In this photo, he fires up his team during the New York Giants game on Nov. 26, 2009, at Invesco Field at Mile High.
The exhilarating, maddening, starstruck career of Brandon Marshall as a Denver Bronco is finished.
Marshall has been traded to the Miami Dolphins for a second-round pick that the Broncos will use next Friday in the NFL Draft and another draft pick in 2011.
With the Broncos, Marshall posted three consecutive 100-catch seasons, two consecutive Pro Bowls, but also several distracting disturbances both on- and off-the field — and no playoff appearances.
The trade to Miami was surprising because Dolphins coach Tony Sparano had said he didn’t think Marshall would be a good fit for his team. However, Bill Parcells has final say on Dolphins personnel and Parcells has never been afraid of working with controversial-but-talented receivers. See Terry Glenn in New England, Keyshawn Johnson with the New York Jets and Terrell Owens in Dallas.
