Brandon Marshall trade looks genius for Bears in hindsight - Windy City Gridiron

Marshall is what he is at this point. He’ll be a dangerous weapon in your offense for a few years until he gets traded or released due to his being a locker room nightmare. He is a six-time Pro Bowler, but has yet to stay with any team for more than four years. Even if Chicago hadn't gotten rid of him, it's safe to say that he would've been gone eventually. With that said, it was best that the Bears traded him.

Ryan Pace has been against signing or drafting players that can be best described as off-the-field cancers. Marshall and Martellus Bennett, two of the team’s best offensive weapons on the roster he inherited, were traded. Pace did take a risk on Ray McDonald in his first year, but he released the former 49er after he got arrested. Since then, he’s stayed clear of players with character issues.

It has helped make a big impact in the locker room. Before Pace arrived, the Bears’ locker room was arguably the most dysfunctional in the entire league. Players were calling each other out, coaches were crying, there was no order and inner workings were leaked to the media. Fast forward three years, and none of those things are issues anymore.

Plus, it helps that the Bears got a solid player in return in the deal, as well. Adrian Amos, the player whom they picked with the pick they gained, will likely be entering 2017 as a starting safety. Even if he doesn't end up starting come Week 1, he’ll serve as a solid depth piece. While he's not as good at what he does as Marshall is, Amos provides much more stability. He's clean off the field and solid on it.
