Marshall is a beastttttttttt. If he's willing to sacrifice some catches for wins, bring him in!!

If we did, we'd have to eat the $7.5 million of this year but after that there'd be absolutely zero consequence for releasing him. This works well for us, because even though we need to extend guys like Wagner and Wilson, they the only bit of cap space they'd eat up would be a pro-rated portion of their signing bonus, leaving quite a bit of cap space to work with this season. That $7.5 million wouldn't be that bad considering that fact along with the fact that we could then release him after the season with no cap worries.
Of course Marshall may want a new contract if he's traded, and the Bears may not find any willing trade partners. Under that scenario, the Bears would release him and still pay him for 2015.
I'm on the fence about Marshall on a personality level, but talent level is undeniable and he does fit the type of receiver we sorely miss with Rice gone.

When Lynch retires, we may change schemes.
[urltargetblank]http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/2015/1/8/7507179/nfl-playoffs-seahawks-panthers-russell-wilson-cam-newton-marshawn-lynch[/urltargetblank]The Seahawks led the NFL in rushing by a country mile this year -- their 2,762 yards on the ground was over 400 yards better than the next best team in Dallas and nearly 500 yards more than the third place Jets. Seattle's run game this year was the NFL's most prolific since the 2006 Falcons ran for 2,939 yards. ..........................................
..................... "It's a commitment," said Seahawks offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell on Tuesday. "It's something that we're totally committed to. I know Tom [Cable]'s always been committed where he's been*. I've been committed to it where I've been. You can look at the numbers where we've been. I mean it's our commitment -- something we believe in. The cool part is that Coach Carroll believes in it also. So it blends our philosophies -- all three of us together."

I'd love this move.

I don't think that's right, there shouldn't be a difference whether he's traded or not. I've seen his 2015 salary is $9.575m and that the base salary of $7.5m is guaranteed only if he's on the roster on the 3rd day of the league season. Cutting or trading him should only mean they eat up $5.625m in dead money (the unpaid signing bonus spread across the three remaining years of his contract at $1.875m).

Read the quotes from Marshall, everything that people claim makes him a locker room problem. He doesn't set out to tear the team apart, he talks about accountability and a desire to win. He has an extensive history with the law and I know a lot of people want nothing to do with that, but he finally addressed the issue and I'd love him here. If he wants to take less to play for a team with this talent then waste no time.

"The journey of Chicago Bears Pro Bowl wide receiver Brandon Marshall is one of the NFL’s great turnaround stories. During his first seasons in the NFL with the Denver Broncos and Miami Dolphins, the mercurial Marshall achieved immense on-field success, yet struggled with uncontrollable emotional outbursts and off-field issues. Yet through his diagnosis of Borderline Personality Disorder, Marshall has been able to couple his success on the football field with a determination and passion to make an impact in his community"CHawk":2ihshmoz said:Bears claiming locker room cancer. Didn't we learn anything from the Percy experiment? Let's just see how our rookie receivers pan out before taking on other teams garbage.
OK I understand that he has a personality disorder, why do we want to deal with it. To me it sounds like Percy.
