The Miami Dolphins acquire Brandon Marshall from the Broncos
The Dolphins have acquired 26-year old WR Brandon Marshall from the Broncos for a 2nd round pick in 2010 and a 2nd rounder in 2011. Marshall played in 15 games for the Broncos last season and he caught 101 passes for 1,120 yards (11.1 avg) with 10 TD grabs. He also carried the ball 7 times for 39 yards (5.6 ypc) last season. Marshall has now played in 61 games in his NFL career and he has caught 327 passes for 4,019 yards (12.3 avg) with 25 TD grabs. He has also carried the ball 16 times for 104 yards (6.5 ypc) in his career. Marshall will give the Dolphins a big time, go to receiver which they have not had in a long, long time. They quickly locked Marshall up to a 4-year, $47.5 million dollar extension to his contract with $25 million guaranteed. So he will be with the Fins for the next 5 years making $50 million bucks. I love this move for the Dolphins who are playing to win right now.
