Cutler upset that he was be linked to potential trades!!!!!!!!!

There’s one story behind the trade of Matt Cassel to the Chiefs. There’s a whole other story behind that blockbuster story.

While New England and Kansas City were agreeing to Saturday’s trade of Cassel to the Chiefs for the draft’s 34th overall pick, there were more teams in the mix. Detroit, Tampa and Denver were involved in trade talks of their own also tied to Cassel, according to sources in the respective NFL cities.

Tampa approached Denver to try to make a three-way trade that would have sent Cassel to the Broncos and quarterback Jay Cutler to the Buccaneers. The Broncos entertained the notion and pondered it but ultimately decided against it.

Also, the Lions approached the Broncos about a trade for Cutler, trying to dangle Cassel as bait. Once again, Denver debated the deal and opted against it apparently. What made it a moot point was that while all Tampa, Detroit and Denver engaged in trade talks with New Engalnd, the Patriots went ahead and dealt Cassel to the Chiefs.

The Broncos firmly maintain that they never intended to trade Cutler, that they were approached to make the trades. But, as of Saturday afternoon, Cutler was angry to hear that his name had been floated in any trade conversations.

Now the Chiefs have Cassel, the Broncos still have Cutler and the Lions and Buccaneers continue their search for quarterbacks in one of the wilder and more complex behind-the-scene dramas the NFL has seen in any recent offseason.

I believe this to be total BS;

However, if McDaniels traded Cutler I would burn down Dove Valley (not joking).

Judgment of any system, or a priori relationship or phenomenon exists in an irrational, or metaphysical, or at least epistemological contradiction to an abstract empirical concept such as being, or to be, or to occur in the thing itself, or of the thing itself.

okay...I am joking.

But there’s no way this is true. I mean, a team can try to trade anything they want. Doesn’t mean anyone is listening.

Not a chance

I think these rumors were total crap, there is no way we are trading Cutler. I have been a Broncos fan for a very long time, and that would have made me think twice about my team. Cassel is not proven he had a good year, I honestly believe almost any quarterback would thrive in New England. The Chiefs just got another worthless QB in my book. Mabey I am wrong and we will see this year.

jay cutler knows this is false just as we do.

What is he worth?

If all of these guys have done the same thing (nothing), I will take my chances with #6. J.C. seems to be getting better, Matty C. had one good year.

Make him step his game up within the offense, pick his spots, and win some games before you give him the boot.

Lets get more smart, athletic, flexible players and payback the entire NFL for giving us the shaft. On everything. Name it, I don’t care.

All Ready!

What happened

The Bucs and Lions probably asked the Broncos about a trade. Xander and McD had to mute the phone so they could laugh. The Bucs and Lions took the silence as “thinking about it”. McD called the Pats and said “Why am I being bothered by this”. Pats traded directly to Chiefs as punishment. End of story. No fairytale ending.

Victor Frankl:

What man actually needs is not a tensionless state but rather the striving and struggling for some goal worthy of him. What he needs is not the discharge of tension at any cost, but the call of a potential meaning waiting to be fulfilled by him.

Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms – to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way.

The idea of Jay being traded

Just blows my mind. Denver would be filled with rioters.

Troublemakers are everywhere

Someone just trying to upset Cutler specifically and the bronco fans generally. Most likely McD didn’t mute the phone and the Bucs and Lions are pissed because the last thing they heard was HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA CLICK.

One thing I know for sure - I'm usually wrong.

I don't mind trade talks about anybody,

but if we traded Cutler for anything short of Hershel Walker to Minnesota compensation I’d be seriously pissed off.

Grab your torch and pitchforks!!!

Yes, I'm a Diamondback and Suns fan. So you may be wondering, "Why does this fool like the Broncos so much?"

A: The Cardinals are too hard of a pill to swallow. Oh yeah and that Elway dude....

by Elway4Prez on Feb 28, 2009 3:08 PM MST reply actions

No, we're not trading Cutler.

However, you have to trust your coaches and management to at least be willing to think about trades, even if they don’t seriously consider them. Think of the Dallas Cowboys’ endless faith in Tom Landry. His firing led to more super bowls. When management becomes so enamored with a player or coach that they refuse to imagine the organization without him, there is danger on the horizon.

The flip side, of course, is that talk of trading such a young, PROVEN (yeah, I said it) franchise player in a key position, especially in the first few months of a new regime, could signal instability and disunity, which is bad right now.

All of this flushes out to a bad day on which a tiny kernel of news was blown WAAAAAAY out of proportion. I can’t believe I’m quoting Rush Limbaugh, but he has a habit of calling the mainstream media the “drive-by media” because they throw out a news “bullet” of limited information, then stick around to watch the chaos, and then they report the chaos they caused as if it’s legitimate news.

I thin we can all calm down, keep Cutler, and move forward with dignity and optimism with some high quality FA pickups. Let’s just get to the D line already, huh?

I think the coaches and management have to earn my trust.

And the handling of this situation is not a good initial step. I think they should be good, but this was a blunder. Also, its seems they have an internal leak. They need to get their s*** together.

by PosterNutbag on Feb 28, 2009 9:48 PM MST up reply actions

I agree that this looks like a blunder.

And it probably is. But time (and winning) should heal this wound.

It’s difficult to give the change a chance to work. But think about what would have happened if the fans would have gotten their way after Elway’s rookie campaign, and had him fired or traded. Many historical visionaries have looked insane to their contemporaries at first, but they persisted in pushing the envelope, and the world has great innovations because of them. You can’t start off second-guessing everyone. Sometimes there is a method to madness.
