The Denver Broncos stopped playing games with their unhappy quarterback. Jay Cutler is available in a trade.

Broncos owner Pat Bowlen released a statement saying both he and McDaniels had been unable to get Cutler to call them back over the last 10 days. Bowlen said he spoke with Cutler's agent, Bus Cook, on Tuesday and came away convinced "that Jay no longer has any desire to play for the Denver Broncos."

Therefore, Bowlen said, "We will begin discussions with other teams in an effort to accommodate his request to be traded."

:(

This sucks. Really it does. I saw this earlier and thought it was an early April Fool's joke.

:(

Edit: The Broncos traded Cutler to the Bears for....Kyle Orton. WTF.

I guess you guys will have to find another QB to throw those critical 4th quarter interceptions.

Cutler will go where he always wanted - the mighty Detroit Lions. With incredible offensive line and truly talented receiver corps, Cutler will set the record for most picks thrown in the (opposite team) red zone.

This is really bad for the Broncos. They totally botched the transition to a new coach. First getting rid of Shanahan and that move now costing them their starting QB. Just dumb.

Say what you will about Cutler, he is still a Pro Bowl QB and better than any other option that the Broncos have.

Dont trade him... make him sit out the rest of his 6 year contract unpaid.
nothing worse than wasting 3 years of your life unpaid.


this idiot needs a major reality check bounce.

They won't because Brad Childress is incompetent and prefers having only bad or mediocre quarterbacks.

While I think AstroMan is right about Chilly, I would love to see Jay in Purple. The vi-queens could actually be a good team with Cutler under center.

I wish the Bills would trade for him, give them Edwards and a third or even a second round pick.

And yet how many playoff games have they won with him?

Wow, the Broncos franchise really took it in the pooper - losing Shanahan and your franchise QB in one offseason... wow.

It's hard to win when your defense is the 4th worst in the league and dialing up cell phone salesmen to suit up as a RB for that weekend. QB's aren't the only player on the field.

And they probable won;t get any good draft picks either.

Talk about going from a maybe to a nothing team real fast. Hell even the Falcons are laughing at them for this.

No thanks. As long as the Bills can put together an O-line that doesn't look like a bunch of toothpicks in a tornado, Edwards is a kickass QB. In the games where he actually had decent protection (or against a fairly week D-line), his rating was FAR higher than Cutler's. Unfortunately with the patchwork quilt they've had as the O-line the last several years, it's not much of a wonder they've sucked.

As an aside, looks like Vick might actually be able to get his $10m/year that he thinks he's worth now. Looks like there's going to be an opening in a team stupid enough to sign him soon...

I agree about the line but ever since Edwards got his brain scrambled against the Cardinals he has been pretty much useless.

why so many fans believe he is great is mind numbing, he gets injured too often, is indecisive with the ball..yes, he has been serviceable, and won a couple of close games against mediocre teams but thats it.

personally I think fans like him so much because they hate Losman, but he wont have that benefit this year

Like I said, if the O-line does it's job and he actually has confidence in them, he IS amazing. I've seen plenty of series last season where he came out and literally picked the defense apart throw after throw, pulling 8 or 9 completions together. Against teams where the O-line leaks like a sieve putting pass rush in his face play after play, that's when he starts to try to find completions too quickly and makes mistakes - just like any QB does. If the O-line did it's job, we wouldn't have to worry so much about injuries either.

I think the only thing that Cutler would be able to do in the same situation is scramble. Yeah, it could buy a little time, but in the end the game will still be a loss without an O-line.

please...he would consistently check down to Marshawn in those 8 or 9 completions..

dont get me wrong I hope he works out but way too many people have rose-colored glasses on when it comes to Edwards.

either way this is his make or break year.

I would take Cutler in a heartbeat.
