ESPN is reporting that Denver Broncos wide receiver Brandon Marshall is being traded to the Miami Dolphins for second round selections in the next two NFL drafts.

The deal is pending league approval and a passed physical by Marshall.

If the transaction does go through, this would add more weaponry to a run-focused Miami team that has pushed the limits of the Wildcat offensive set.  They’ve used Ronnie Brown and Ricky Williams to make the majority of their big plays, but the Dolphins also have the strong arm of Chad Penne under center. 

Marshall would pair with Ohio State alum Ted Ginn, Jr. to form what should be a deangerous one-two punch on the outside.  He just posted his third consecutive season in which he corralled over 100 passes.  In Marshall, the Dolphins would be obtaining a sturdy receiver (6’4″, 230 lbs.) with the added ability of getting tough yards in the middle of the field.
