Wooohoo!
We're getting the band back together! I'm seriously almost as excited as when we traded for Cutler right now. Off to a good start Emery...

Beat me to it!
Amazing it only cost two 3rd rounders, Pretty much a given that it's Mario Williams or bust in Free Agency!

Think Mario Williams is a lock now. The Bears are looking really good.
And we criminally underpaid for him. I expected to give up more. Nice job Emery.

Bears will assume Marshall contract of $9.3 million this year, $9.1 million in 2013 and 2014.

Bears acquire Pro Bowl receiver Brandon Marshall
By Brad Biggs, Tribune reporter
3:02 p.m. CDT, March 13, 2012
Almost three years ago, the Chicago Bears traded for Jay Cutler after years of unsuccessfully trying to develop their own quarterback. Now, they’ve traded for the wide receiver he worked so well with in Denver.
The Bears have packaged two third-round draft picks to the Miami Dolphins to acquire Brandon Marshall, hooking Cutler up with the big target he’s sought since he arrived here. Jay Glazer of Fox Sports first reported the news. Marshall, 27, comes from the Miami Dolphins where he caught 81 passes for 1,214 yards and six touchdowns last season.
The 6-4 Marshall instantly gives the Bears’ offense, now under first-year coordinator Mike Tice, a big-time playmaker. The Bears had an extra third-round pick in this year’s draft from the Panthers for the Greg Olsen trade. It’s not known what specific picks were sent to the Dolphins.

The Bears just committed highway robbery getting Brandon Marshall for two thirds.

FFFFFFYEAAA!! Established vet, one of the best in the game, re-united with Cutty at last.
Now we can go about grabbing Super Mario, drafting O line in the 1st and filling holes with the rest of our picks. Emery for GM of the year (thus far).

Wow, Miami is bad. They gave up Marshall because Peyton Manning has issues with him. Considering they gave up 2 2nd rounders for him in the first place, this is a steal. 1 pick this year, and the other one next year. Also, Miami picks up some of his salary. Great pickup for the Bears, I know Marshall has had a case of the dropsies at times, but he is waaay better than anyone on our WR corps at the moment.
Hopefully Super Mario is next!

Mario is meeting with the Bills tonight according to Schefter. Apparently they're willing to pony up the money to get him
