you can't analyze this trade on "who won" or "who lost." the denver broncos did not want to trade their franchise receiver in the prime of his career for two 2nd rounders. the dolphins didn't want to trade their franchise receiver in the prime of his career for two 3rd rounders. you get to a point. once that point is reached (also known as "the straw that broke the camel's back"), you need to cut the player, or trade him if you are fortunate enough to find a taker. it doesn't matter how much he helps the bears, just like it didn't matter to denver how much he helped us, once we acquired him. BM had reached that point here, and we were DAMN lucky to get the bears to give up two 3rd rounders. throw in the money cleared up under the cap to acquire more players ($5.8 million dollars), and it makes digesting the loss of his pure ability easier to swallow. but the fact is he was not staying here past yesterday - and it had nothing to do with "who is doing better in this trade."
