ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports that the Broncos and Dolphins have reached a deal that will send wide receiver Brandon Marshall to Miami in exchange for a second-round pick this year and what appears to be a second-round selection in 2011.
Marshall has been one of the league’s premier receivers over the past three seasons, catching 307 balls for 3,710 yards 23 touchdowns while averaging over 12 yards per catch.
The Broncos made it clear earlier this off-season that they wanted to trade the much maligned wideout, but were hoping for a first-round pick in exchange.
Marshall’s arrival in Miami immediately improves a weak Dolphins’ passing game. His arrival likely means that former first-round pick Ted Ginn Jr. will be traded.
FANTASY IMPACT: After playing with Kyle Orton a year ago, expect Marshall to only get better now by being paired with up-and-coming signal caller Chad Henne. He remains a top 10 fantasy wideout with the potential to be a top three candidate worthy of a pick somewhere between Rounds 3 through 5. Henne also gets a big spike in value and could prove to be a nice mid-draft steal.
