This BS died out quickly.

If we can get a 1, or a 2 and a 3, or even a 2 and a 4 for Marshall, in addition to opening up cap space to pursue defensive talent on the open market, how do you not pull the trigger?

I disagree with the point of us not getting much in return, for Marshall specifically. Indy is in a way WAY different place than we are. They have TY. They could see themselves as being a legit possession WR (Marshall) and a RB away from being impossible to defend... And they might be right. *IF* the price is right for Marshall, with AJ in tow, and a great WR class, I think the move makes sense. Whether or not this comes to fruition or there is a lot of credibility to the rumor, who knows?

I just don't see it happening. But if indeed the Bears could talk Marshall for some picks or just a 1st rounder then I think you pull the trigger. I don't think its going to happen but Irsay did give a #1 for Trent Richardson. Then again, I think Irsay is off the pills & stuff so it may be harder now.

The Colts might just go after Andre Johnson instead now.

Um......he was hurt and played with injuries. He didn't quit like I could point at other Bears last season. If they trade Marshall, that's fine, assuming that they get something valuable back. If they renegotiate a deal with he and some others, then fine also. But your assessment of his prowess as a receiver is just silly. Silly and WRONG.

Lets say that you trade Marshall? He is not just some average player. He's had excellent PRODUCTION for the Bears. What do you replace that with. Personally, I think that this production is underestimated by some Bear's fans. So who replaces that production? I think Jeffries fell off some as a receiver last year. And Wilson, clearly hasn't established himself as an NFL receiver in my book. So,,,,,,,where do the 80-90 catches that Marshall typically receives come from if he is gone. Do they now have to draft a receiver with their #1 pick and who is he?

If you trade away Marshall, you pretty much pigeon-hole yourself at #7 into either taking Cooper or White, IMO. And if that is the case, why trade Marshall? Unless your primary plan is to get younger and oust any "problem" players from the building.

Not saying Alshon isn't a #1 but when posting his numbers remember.
He played against the teams #2 CBs and the double teams mostly went toward Marshall.
His numbers would more than likely drop if he was covered by #1's and doubled. Probably putting him sub 1000yds.
Add in that most people here want to dump Cutler for a less productive FA or unproven rookie and any form of prediction is out the door and 3 sheets to the wind.

I think the argument would be that Marshall, if only because of his age, may not even be in the picture 2-3 years down the road. The Bears won't contend until then. The Colts are definitely a win now team. I would agree that Marshall's production won't be replaced this year. And if you of the belief that Marshall will continue to produce at his previous levels for at least the next two+ years then you keep him. With an extra first it gives the Bears more options. I also don't thnk anyone will give the Bears a #1 so it doesn't matter anyway.
