Vacation?

Apparently all you need to do to get traded away from Denver these days is casually mention traveling somewhere to your GM. Here's an actual, unedited transcript of a conversation between Brandon Marshall and Brian Xanders:

Marshall: "Hey Brian, I'm thinking of going to Florida for a week before training camp. You know, check out the South Beach scene and relax on the beach a little."
Xanders: "You've just been traded to Miami for a box of cocoa puffs and a year's subscription to Us Weekly"
Marshall: "Hey all I wanted to do was go on vaca..."
Xanders: "Too late!"

Seriously, the whole Jay Cutler thing was kind of absurd and there will be personality clashes sometimes. But why even think about trading away your best up-and-coming receiver? Something's rotten in the city of Denver.
