The Miami Dolphins have agreed to send a 2010 and 2011 2nd round pick to the Denver Broncos to acquire WR Brandon Marshall. It's the second big move in two days by an AFC East team looking to dethrone the New England Patriots as best team in the AFC East. Yesterday, the New York Jets acquired former Super Bowl MVP, WR Santonio Holmes from the Pittsburgh Steelers for a 2010 5th rounder pick.
Great move by the Miami Dolphins. Although they still lack a deep threat the Dolphins acquired one of the best wide receivers in the NFL. Hands down. Aside from Wes Welker, Marshall is the only active WR to record three straight 100+ reception seasons.
Okay, so yet again New England wakes up to absolute horrible news. After last night's NHL Draft Lottery and the Bruins solidifying their chances at Taylor Hall or Tyler Seguin we wake and get this. Great. Fucking great. Like seriously, what the hell is going on the Foxboro? It seems that every move made in the NFL off-season is a move the New England Patriots should have, but didn't or failed to make.
The Jets and Dolphins have been very active in the off-season acquiring positions of need when the New England Patriots have been sitting there resigning their own players that got them to 10-6 like a bunch of clowns. The AFC East is going to be an absolute bloodbath next year and by the looks of it I think the New England Patriots are going to come out of it bruised, battered, bloody and very very disappointed with the results. Unless the get their act together....and fast.
Just like we said yesterday after the Jets acquired Santonio Holmes, lets hope Bill Belichick and company have something planned for the NFL draft next week because right now they need a lot of help. Not only do they need a WR to replace Wes Welker, a pass rushing LB or defensive end to get to the quarterback, a tough physical running back for the red zone, but corner back now becomes a serious need no matter how you slice it if we're going to be facing Braylon Edwards, Santonio Holmes, and Brandon Marshall 4x a year this year.
Anyone else want to see the Patriots go get Terrell Owens to pair opposite Randy Moss for a year? I mean, it couldn't hurt.
We've now had an off-season where we could have acquired: Anquan Boldin, Brandon Marshall, Santonio Holmes, LaDanian Tomlinson, Antonio Cromartie, Willie Parker, Larry Johnson, and many more talented players, but have settled to resign current players and bring in an overweight, past his prime Alge Crumpler for blocking purposes. Awesome.
So here's a message to Foxboro, In Bill we don't trust anymore. Do something. Show us you care. Make a move. I don't care what it is, but christ DO SOMETHING before it's too late and nothing is available for them to do.
