Brandon Marshall to the Jets

[Bomm Bastic]

Hear that??

That's the sound of Marshall's fantasy value going down the drain.

If all it cost the Jets was a 5th for him, his value was already bottoming out. Chicago must have really wanted to get rid of him.

The early word is the #Jets traded a 5th round pick for veteran WR Brandon Marshall, per source. Not official until a physical though

There were concerns he was more interested in his TV gig, and that was after Fox had a sit-down w/him.

EDIT: and yes, he's older now so there are diminishing returns.

That's one way to use some of the $50 million they were sitting on. Now they just need to trade for Jay Cutler.

Or Locker??

That is an understatement. They would have just cut him if they couldn't trade him. Marshall is the epitome of the me-first, prima donna athlete. With the saturated Bears coverage in Chicago, I have come to despise Brandon Marshall more than just about any athlete they have ever had.

He’ll prolly do well in NYJ because he’s the only offensive star because there are now rumours Harvin is going to get cut. He is still a solid player, but age, and his attitude scream “get rid of him” in the NFL. But note how I said well, not good/great. Unless they go out and get a QB, this team will go nowhere. But at least they have something they’ve never had before an aging ex-elite WR, oh wait….Harvin, Decker, Holmes, Burres…

Nope. The Jets are waiting until draft day to trade the 6th overall to the Eagles for Foles, 1st, 2nd, 2016 1st, 2017 1st. That's the "rumored deal."

Assuming Mariota is still available is what I heard.

1 – Winston (bucs)
2- Leonard Williams (Titans)
3 – Fowler (Jags)
4 – Kevin White (raiders)
5 – Shane Ray or Randy Gregory. Just any Defense player for the skins lol
6 – Mariota. That’s my guess.

Bucs get a WB, Titans have one they’ll try out, Jags have a QB, Raiders have Carr, Skins I dunno my team is run by the dumbs, so Mariota should be available unless a team does it just to trade the eagles.

MAYBE the titans take him, but I rather Williams at DE for that team.

Have to figure that someone is trading up for Mariota. Not enough quality QBs in the league for teams to pass up the chance.

I think the Bucs taking Winston over Mariota is a huge mistake but it's the Bucs, why should I expect anything else.

[dejeanneret]

Oh, for Pete's sake ... the Jets of all damn places?!? Off to the trash heap he goes in my dynasty league.

I agree with this 100%. Mariota is the better QB.

That's your assessment though. Most have Winston as the much better quarterback.
