In the first marquee move of the 2012 NFL offseason, the Chicago Bears acquired big-time receiver Brandon Marshall from the Miami Dolphins for two third round picks in April’s draft. In a trade that appears to be an absolute steal for Chicago, Jay Cutler finally gets the premier receiver that he’s lacked in his tenure in the windy city. Easily forgotten in the display of ineptitude that was the Bears in the second half of the 2011 season, is that Chicago was a dominant team early on with Cutler and Matt Forte playing at an elite level. Now with Marshall on board, the Bears look to be extremely improved on offense next season while the defense is still top notch. The Cutler-Marshall combo that was so dynamic and effective in Denver should resume its dominance of defenses in 2012, and this one move should propel the Bears to a playoff berth.
