The Miami Dolphins had sat mostly quiet through much of the off-season, their surprise American Football Conference East championship little more than a year ago fading quickly. The Patriots reclaimed the spot atop the division with the return of Tom Brady and the Jets stockpiled a roster of big names after a shocking run to the A.F.C. championship game in January.
On Wednesday, the Dolphins finally joined the arms race, trading for Denver receiver Brandon Marshall, who had been a headache -– but a really productive one -– for Coach Josh McDaniels. In exchange, the Broncos will receive the Dolphins’ second-round pick in next week’s draft and their second rounder in the 2011 draft. With Braylon Edwards (Jets), Santonio Holmes (acquired by the Jets Sunday night), Randy Moss (Patriots) and now Marshall, the A.F.C. East might have more downfield firepower than any other division.
