Bears trying to trade Brandon Marshall, according to reportBy Ryan Van Bibber Mar 5, 2015, 11:58amThe real question is how likely they are to find a willing taker.The Chicago Bears are looking to move veteran wide receiver Brandon Marshall, according to a Thursday report from Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune. The nature of those trade talks is a little cloudier, with some suggesting that the Bears are actively shopping Marshall to other teams, and others who say the Bears are taking a more passive approach and letting teams come to them with offers.This is the first suggestion that Chicago's roster is getting an overhaul under new head coach John Fox and general manager Ryan Pace.The five-time Pro Bowler will turn 31 before the upcoming season. He's coming off a season that saw him produce the lowest numbers since his rookie year in 2006. Marshall finished 2014 with 61 receptions, 721 yards and eight touchdowns. Injuries limited him to just 13 games.Biggs suggests that the Bears could be seeking a mid-round pick in exchange for Marshall. It's a reasonable asking price, if it's true, but his contract could be an issue. Marshall's full $7.5 million salary becomes guaranteed if he's on the roster March 12. He has a cap hit of $9.575 million this season, according to Over the Cap, and similar numbers on a contract that runs through 2017. http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/2015/3/5/8155921/2015-nfl-trade-rumors-brandon-marshall-bears
