New Bears QB Jay Cutler has gone out of his way to sing the praises of former teammate Brandon Marshall, who wants out of Denver. But team sources believe that, even if the Bears seriously considered a deal for the Pro Bowl receiver, it would appear that they just dont have enough ammo at present to realistically pull it off.

They probably do have enough to pull it off...it's just that the Bronco's asking price for Marshall will be too high...
If the Broncos are asking for a first round pick in next year's draft, we don't have that. If they are asking for a 2nd and other considerations, that we do have. Not to mention, I bet they would ask for one of our players as part of the deal too.
I have said it before and will again. I would not give up a first plus for Marshall when Boldin can be had for same price. With the legal issues Marshall has the risk is not worth it to me. A 2nd plus might be worth it depending on what the "plus" is
Doesn't Hester and a 2nd round pick. Beat the offer they supposedly wanted from the browns of Cribbs and a pick?
Intriguing trade scenario Dave. I dont think I would want to get rid of Hester though. I know this may be dumb question but did Marshall return kicks for Denver last year as well as play wideout?
No I don't believe he did. However that's why I think it works. What they lose in a KR they gain in a WR and Vice versa for Denver. And I think Eddie Royal is ready or could be ready to be a Number 1 guy.
As much as I have been against a trade for Marshall I cant help but think I like this one. Any Bears fans around to give some insite on this proposal. Dave maybe you need to be a GM somewhere, but as we see in our other thread not a commish :icon_cheesygrin:
Thanks for the semi compliment. Sadly the deal makes too much sense for any of the gm's to actually do it.
