Brandon Marshall, who owns the NFL record for most catches in a game at 21, was traded by the Miami Dolphins to the Chicago Bears on Tuesday for undisclosed selections in the NFL Draft.
The move reunites Marshall and Bears quarterback Jay Cutler, who spent their first three seasons together with Denver from 2006 through 2008. The Broncos took Cutler in the first round of the 2006 draft and Marshall in the fourth.
Marshall, who turns 28 next week, has 494 career receptions and caught a one-game NFL record 21 passes while playing for Denver in a 2009 loss at Indianapolis. He was traded to Miami in 2010.
Marshall was the primary target for Cutler at Denver in 2007, when he caught 102 passes for 1,325 yards and seven touchdowns, and the following year, when he caught 104 passes for 1,265 yards and six touchdowns.
In January, Marshall caught four touchdown passes in the Pro Bowl all-star game to earn Most Valuable Player honors.
Marshall is one of three players to catch passes for more than 1,000 yards in each of the past five NFL seasons, a feat matched only by Atlanta's Roddy White and Arizona's Larry Fitzgerald.
