The Big Cat Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 I pretty much get the gist of the article, but my computer doesn't want to access the bleacherreport, anyone want to give me the old open apple "v?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 That's so crazy it just might work. No probably not. But it could. If... Denver thinks that Marshall is damaged goods and is willing to take the best offer for him (since he's in the last year of his contract and could be facing a suspension.) Considering the chances of Marshall playing even one more full season in Denver, I'd say that Josh Reed and a second round pick don't so bad. If... Chicago thinks that the Cutler to Orton combo could really jump start their offense and is willing to take a risk on a troubled player If... well, the Bills would probably be crazy not to pull the trigger on this one. I think this article is complete speculation, but it does almost make sense when you think about the players and situations involved. But that doesn't mean there's any indication it is even being discussed by anyone who counts. I could see Roscoe being moved...but not Reed.

SKOOBY Posted June 26, 2009 Author Share Posted June 26, 2009 T.O. coming to Buffalo seemed like a .000000001 chance as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Numark Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 As much as I like Reed, I would love this trade. Not only does it make our D so much better, it will let our young WR core develop much more rapidly. Parrish, Hardy, and Johnson would be great along side evans & owens.

Numark Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 for anyone who cannot access the website It’s no secret that Brandon Marshall wants out of Denver. Since Jay Cutler’s trade to the Windy City, Marshall has slowly been packing his bags and getting ready to ship out. You can’t blame him. Would you want Kyle Orton as your QB? While the Bears are actively seeking a WR to play alongside Devin Hester, they continue to deny any interest in Marshall. They seem very interested in Plaxico Burress, who might not even play a down of the 2009 NFL season. Something fishy is going on here. Yes, Marshall would be a risk because he has found himself in cuffs just about as many times as your average hip-hop artist, but fortunately for him, nothing he has ever done runs the risk of a yearlong suspension. Burress, on the other hand, shot himself in the leg with his own gun and could be doing some jail time. Not sure why any team is looking at him right now. Even after the jail time, he would be suspended by the Roger “The Enforcer” Goodell. The popular belief would be that as long as he hasn’t been sentenced, then Goodell can’t suspend him. This is the only reason Burress is trying to push back his trial. Still, it’s not going to eliminate the inevitable. Maybe Burress just wants to get it pushed back long enough to play a couple more seasons and sit on that. Who knows? The way he is going about resolving his impending trial would certainly suggest that. Anyway, back to the rumor. The Bears need a WR. They don’t have the ammo to get Marshall. The Broncos would most certainly want a WR in return, one that has been productive. They would also need at least a second round draft choice. So how would this work? Well, the Bills are currently loaded at the WR position. They could afford to throw a second round pick and a productive receiver like Josh Reed to the Broncos in return for a position of need. In this case it would be a DT. Buffalo would want nothing but the best from Chicago, and that would come in the form of Tommie Harris. Chicago could do this because they have invested heavily in DTs in recent years. It would seem like Denver would be getting the shaft, but they are totally rebuilding their squad and really have no plans of a championship this year. Loading up with solid veterans and multiple draft picks sounds like a smart way to build your team for Denver, while Chicago and Buffalo believe that they just need a few minor tweaks and pieces to the puzzle to get to the playoffs and beyond. The trade at first glance looks lopsided, but when you look at what each team is trying to do, it really makes a whole lot of sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
