Cutler as Good as Gone in Denver
Jay Cutler’s bumpy ride in Denver this offseason appears to have begun its final descent. Cutler’s refusal to communicate with the team has led them to determine that he has no intention of playing there again, and they will honor his trade request and try to move him.
Broncos owner Pat Bowlen said that the team has been unsuccessful in the past 10 days to reach Cutler, and that they have come to the conclusion that he doesn’t want to be a Bronco.
In a statement, Bowlen said:
“Numerous attempts to contact Jay Cutler in the last 10 days, both by head coach Josh McDaniels and myself, have been unsuccessful,” Bowlen said in a statement. “A conversation with his agent earlier today clearly communicated and confirmed to us that Jay no longer has any desire to play for the Denver Broncos. We will begin discussions with other teams in an effort to accommodate his request to be traded.”
While Cutler had asked to be traded several weeks ago, but had indicated in the past that if he was still a Bronco, he’d play there. According to the Denver Post, Cutler recently packed up his car and had it shipped to Denver, preparing to report for training camp later this month.
According to ESPN’s John Clayton, as many as 10 teams (possibly more) around the league are interested in Cutler, including the Detroit Lions, who hold the first pick in the NFL draft later this month. They are expected to take quarterback Matthew Stafford with the top pick, but if they can trade that pick for an established quarterback, we could be seeing Cutler shipping his car to the Motor City.
Clayton also said that a trade could be a three-way trade, which could land the Broncos a quarterback that could come in and start, such as a Brady Quinn.
In the end, the Broncos will likely come out winners in this situation, since new coach Josh McDaniels will now have some say as to which quarterback they trade for, something he wanted from the beginning. Cutler, on the other hand, could be the new signal caller for the Lions, and no one can call that winning.
