I know people will kill it because it's the Jets but it's a good move for them. He's still a very good player and his contract isn't prohibitive in any way.
What

It's definitely a good move, especially if it is a mid-to-late round pick like has been reported. The problem is Marshall might not be a force by the time the Jets field a good team.
so Decker, Harvin and Marshall  
YAJ2112 : 3/6/2015 11:24 am : link
nice WR corps... too bad they don't have anyone to get them the ball.

They will need good coaching, because Marshall won't be very tolerant of a young ineffective QB.
Are they keeping Harvin?  
jeff57 : 3/6/2015 11:27 am : link
Thought that was up in the air, so to speak.
well, they can part ways with Harvin at any time  
YAJ2112 : 3/6/2015 11:29 am : link
he has no guaranteed $ and no unamortized $ for the Jets to worry about (Seahawks already took that hit when they traded him).
I posted on the other Marshall thread  
ij_reilly : 3/6/2015 11:32 am : link
Jets need an Eli/Warner kind of situation.

Bring in a quality veteran QB as the starter. Draft Mariota. Give him a year or so to acclimate to the NFL (strength, pocket presence, etc). Then he starts.

Harvin/return

Canfora @JasonLaCanfora

Expected to be a 5th round pick going to the Bears for Brandon Marshall. Next step for Jets likely to be parting with Percy Harvin

.  
arcarsenal : 3/6/2015 11:36 am : link
I don't think they're going to keep Harvin.
Good trade  
cokeduplt : 3/6/2015 11:46 am : link
for the jets but they need to find a real QB, Marshall without a true QB seems problematic
That would be an obscene  
CromartiesKid21 : 3/6/2015 11:47 am : link
amount of money tied up on WRs if they kept Harvin. Atleast this should open up a better probability for Amari Cooper/Kevin White being available at #9.
Very good move for the Jets  
NYG07 : 3/6/2015 11:56 am : link
They will likely release Harvin now and draft Mariotta unless the Eagles give up a boatload including Foles.
I beleive the Jets need to spend $  
ZogZerg : 3/6/2015 11:57 am : link
to stay away from the floor.
This really was a good move  
kelsto811 : 3/6/2015 11:58 am : link
Not necessarily the caliber of player but the jets save 10 mil by cutting harvin AND give up a 6th instead of a 4th...plus upgrade with Marshall over harvin. They also gave themselves leverage for a trade with the Eagles.
It will be easier for Marshall  
Matt in SGS : 3/6/2015 12:04 pm : link
to tape Inside the NFL next year, he can carpool with Boomer.
Not a bad move  
giantgiantfan : 3/6/2015 12:04 pm : link
he had an injury plagued season and still put up 8 touchdowns. He's a nice big redzone target, but his days of being a top 10 receiver are over. Still, if they can get him the ball, he will have a big game or two next year.
Cutler weighs in...

5th round pick? Nice trade for the Jets.
Nice weapons, no QB  
JonC : 3/6/2015 12:06 pm : link
Did Harvin wear out his welcome already?

Bears need a WR now -_-
Yes, Bears need a WR  
old man : 3/6/2015 12:17 pm : link
so that looks to give us a better group of D or OL players at #9, unless the Bears sign a FA WR.
arc, there you go  
ColHowPepper : 3/6/2015 12:19 pm : link
being rational again...

wonder if Idzik would have made this move baaahaaahaaa
Wait...possible Cutler redux:

Is the trade for WR Brandon Marshall a precursor to a trade by the Jets for QB Jay Cutler?
brillant move by the bears  
rasbutant : 3/6/2015 12:30 pm : link
With so many FA WR's they can replace him in a heartbeat. Put his 7mil towards getting Cobb and get a draft pick to boot.
Albert Breer was just on WFAN and said he doesn't think  
Dave in Hoboken : 3/6/2015 12:30 pm : link
Bears will trade Cutler now.
If the Giatnts got Marshall for a 5th rounder  
Gman11 : 3/6/2015 12:40 pm : link
people on here would be going crazy over what a steal it was.

I hate the Jets as much as anybody, but it's a nice pickup for them.

Not for the contract we would have to take on.

The Jets have much more cap space.

His contract isn't bad, unless you think last year was the beginning of the end rather than just an injury plagued season (his 2 seasons prior were awesome). And even then it's not bad as I pointed out above.

Jets still need a QB

Geno stinks. They might as well just resign Sanchez.

Mike, Yes, most guys in their 60's-70's can't play football very well.
The Jets might have done us a favor  
dpinzow : 3/6/2015 11:13 pm : link
Now they're not drafting WR at 9, so they're compelled to draft a QB. Gives us a better chance to get Amari if OAK drafts White
