Breaking: Cutler to Bears

by Mainiac on Apr 2, 2009 7:14 PM EDT Comment 3 comments

The Patriots dodge a bullet as Cutler goes to the Bears instead of the Jets:

NFL.com's Steve Wyche reports that the Broncos will receive first-round draft picks this year and in 2010, a third-round pick (84th overall) this year and quarterback Kyle Orton in exchange for Cutler and a 2009 fifth-round selection.

Certainly a hefty price, but consideing the Bears have been stuck in a quagmire at the QB position they are probably happy about it.

Denver may be a force in 2010-12, but probably not before then, since their offense was their good side of the ball and Cutler was a large part of that.

I think the Colts dodged a bullet as well.

The Titans were looking at him too. whew!

Yep

the Titans with Cutler would definitely be scary. Moreso than the Bears.

Wow

Didn’t see that one coming. Glad he didn’t go to the Jets. Two first-round picks. The sand will have to settle a bit on this deal before McDaniels becomes goat or hero.

Keep the faith!
