Brandon Marshall spills it about why he's no longer a Bear

I agree with you, hes no spring chicken and instead of resting he was using his spare time to fly back and forth, he can do it when he retires

Yeah, I think everybody knew this. Glad to see it confirmed finally. Let the new guys know where to keep their focus at.

I agree with the rest of you that it was always an issue, as we knew it would be with Fox and Pace, but he's just now admitting it.  Nice to find him finally being honest about it for once but still not admitting much of the rest was typical BM whining about the trade.

I can see both sides of the issue but if your primary employer tells you that you need to give up your part time job and focus on the one they're paying you handsomely to do then you have a decision to make and he made it. He got choice of an entree and he wanted both.

The Bears actually took the high road and traded him to the Jets and not Seattle so he could continue to serve two masters provided the Jets said yes and apparently they have. Brandon is a very good football player but as has been said before no team he's played for has ever been a championship team or even a consistent winner.  Keeping him would not have made the Bears into one either.

John Fox has a great rep as a players coach and his guys have always liked and respected him bb.  My guess is Pace has had a similar relationship with some he's drafted.  For every one who may feel that way there will be a Trevathan or a Hicks who want to play in Chicago for these guys.
