Why did the Dolphins trade away their top wide receiver?
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Brandon Marshall was traded Tuesday afternoon by the Miami Dolphins to the Chicago Bears for a pair of third round draft picks, according to Fox Sports NFL Insider Jay Glazer.
Major scoopage! The Chicago Bears have agreed to terms of a trade w Miami for pro bowl WR Brandon Marshall in exchange for 2 third-rounders.

The move reunites Marshall with his former Denver Bronco quarterback Jay Cutler in Chicago. The trade is a bit surprising, but Marshall has had difficulties in getting along with coaches and other teammates while in Miami so this is obviously the Dolphins moving in a new direction. Reggie Wayne is one receiver that some have floated out as a target in free agency.
