Snookered?

Were the Miami Dolphins snookered into signing Brandon Marshall (not pictured)?

That's the question every Miami Dolphins fan had to be asking after the first day of OTAs.

Football shouldn't matter in May.

But when your newly-acquired $50 million man is on an exercise bike while the rest of the team is practicing, there's cause for concern.

Cleo was not the only Lemon the Dolphins have had in recent history.

Plenty of times the Dolphins have dealt for guys who were sub-par, or hurt, or worse yet, named Joey Harrington.

But this was supposed to be different.

Brandon Marshall is by all accounts a certified bad-ass.

He's one of the best wide receivers in the NFL and a dominant force.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
So why is it, on day 1 of off-season workout number one, it's suddenly sprung on us that he's had off-season surgery?

That's information that *MAY* have been slightly useful prior.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Dolphins KNEW that Marshall had surgery on his hip before.

My question is: Did DENVER know that Marshall would need a cleanup again?

Where were the beat writers on this story?

I'm sure getting your hip scoped in May won't impact him too much when the season rolls around.

But it's a fairly inauspicious start for the Dolphins new star.

And to make matters worse, he was wearing Ted Ginn's number.

Here's hoping that Marshall changes numbers and produces as expected.

This is way more than any football fan should have to worry about an OTA.
