JAY CUTLER TRADED TO CHICAGO

in 2009 Re-Loading Season
580 comments
Directly from the Broncos --
The Denver Broncos have agreed in principle to trade quarterback Jay Cutler to the Chicago Bears. Terms of the deal will be disclosed at a later time
As of now, it looks like we have another QB in the mix, and a stacked set of drafts in 2009 and 2010. We had to give a little too:
To acquire Cutler, the Bears had to give up quarterback Kyle Orton and first-round picks in 2009 and 2010, a source said.
To complete the trade, the Broncos had to give back a fifth-round pick in 2009. That pick was acquired by the Broncos from the Seattle Seahawks in a trade for wide receiver Keary Colbert.
The Bears beat out the Redskins, Buccaneers, Lions, Titans and other teams to get land the 25-year-old Pro Bowl quarterback.
NFL Network is reportinga deal that is quite a bit sweeter for the Broncs:
The Denver Broncos have agreed to trade disgruntled quarterback Jay Cutler to the Chicago Bears.
The Broncos announced the deal Thursday and said terms would be disclosed later. NFL.com's Steve Wyche reports that the Broncos will receive three draft picks (first-rounders this year and in 2010, a third-rounder this year) and quarterback Kyle Orton in exchange for Cutler.
The Haul:
- 1st rounder in 2009 (#18 overall)
- 1st rounder in 2010 (to be determined)
- 3rd rounder in 2009 (#84)
- QB, Kyle Orton
The Hauled-Off:
- Jay Cutler
- 5th round pick in 2009(#140 overall))

It's simple math, the Denver Broncos will succeed in 2009 with the addition of 20, but minus 6.

Wow
So Jay got what he wanted… either Tennessee or Chicago. I say Bowlen is too good to him

Way too good to him
I would have dealt him to the Lions out of spite. It would have shown him how good he had it here. Maybe Bowlen was afraid he would just hold out and demand a trade from them which would mean he could end up anywhere, including an AFC team, which would come back to haunt us in the playoffs one of these years.
If we could have just screwed another head on his shoulders, he would have been the greatest QB who ever lived.

As a Chiefs fan living in Chicago ...
I can tell you the honeymoon could be very short. The fans here aren’t as forgiving — even if the guy grew up a Chicago fan.

I agree
Add in that their line sucks, he doesn’t have a #1 WR to throw to (more like 3 #3WR’s), and he was already INT prone when he had all day to throw the ball. They’ll be all over his ass when he has 25+ INTs this year.
He doesn’t respond well when things go south either. Wait until their fans see him crying and pouting on the sidelines after throwing a pick on their own 20 yard line. Trot that D back out there boys, Cutler locked onto his primary target again, even though he was clearly double covered.

Oh right...
…because Jay fired Shanahan, then told himself he was “the man” in bronco-land, then hired McDaniels, then tried to trade himself, which didn’t work out, then he lied to himself about the details, then he wouldn’t apologize to himself about lying to himself. When I actually think about it, it’s obvious he orchestrated the whole thing!

Cutler wins / Broncos loose big time
We are getting Kyle Orton – he is probably the 26th or 27th best quarterback in the NFL. I bet he can not take the starting job from Chris Simms.
We will be luck to win 4 games after this junk trade. The picks from the Bears will be late round because Cutler will take them deep into the playoffs both years.

It started late one stormy night two days ‘fore Halloween
And lasted well past New Years twice, and almost into spring.
It crosses vast dark voids of space to worlds that have no time
And tells of evil incarnate where good is turned to slime.

I agree
Love Alfred, but he’s been kinda, well, dumb on this deal. Really, most of the ex-players that I’ve seen or heard have been too “player” on this thing, I thought.
Most on the NFLN were just goofy- Jamie Dukes, don’t even get me started. Guy says today “Congrats to Cutler in getting what he wanted and forcing his way out of there… but, you know like he said, he never wanted to leave…” He forced his way out, but never wanted to leave. Mmmmm-kay.
Are you kidding me? Are you even listening to the words that are coming out of your mouth, Dukes?
And yeah, now that I’ve had a chance to calm down and the real deal has come out, I guess we’re just gonna have to see what happens in the draft. We’ll be able to judge this deal in 5 years.
I don’t like joining the rest of the 20-something teams that are looking for that QB solution, I must admit. sigh What a GD clusterf*ck.

But, I also disagree with the masses here also in that the Broncos really had limited leverage here, so probably was the best deal out there for a non-AFC team

Orton has potential too, he has no offensive line or recievers and threw just under 3,00 yards in 14 and a quarter games. He’s 26 give him a chance.

http://www.chicagobears.com/news/NewsStory.asp?story_id=5699
The Bears pulled off a blockbuster trade Thursday, boldly acquiring Pro Bowl quarterback Jay Cutler and a draft pick in exchange for a player and a package of draft picks. Details will be available shortly.
The Bears official website revealing more than the Broncos. It looks like the Broncos may very well end up with a first and third this year and a first next year and Kyle Orton for Jay Cutler and a 5th rounder.

This is a pretty good deal.
The Broncos will end up with a total of FOUR first round draft picks in the next two years. Taylor Mays in 2010 anyone? We also will have 5 picks in the first three rounds this year….we had two fifth rounders, now we have one. All in all, this is shaping up to be a pretty good deal for the Broncos.
Remember, we spent ONE first round draft pick on Cutler…we got TWO and a Third Rounder for him…not bad at all.

Why ignore
all the good free agent signings? I understand saying the whole Cutler saga was a mess but just to sweep everything with the same negative brush is a little melodramatic. We picked up a bunch of solid people in free agency. Sure the draft could have some busts. Last year’s sure was good though. If we do anything close to that on the defensive side in the draft, this will be a good team. Feel free to be miserable though, if you wish.

by adamriggs on Apr 2, 2009 4:09 PM MDT reply actions 0 recs
to the people freaking out about Orton:
what part of stopgap don’t you understand? This team was not making the playoffs for at elast a year anyways. That’s how bad the D was. That’s how hard our schedule is this year.
We’re going to have a defensive draft this year, and develop those players. Orton and Simms will compete in a suck fest. Next year, the Broncos will have a top 5 pick and leverage to move up if needed to get Sam Bradford, a QB with all the tools AND character AND leadership ability.
I’d be happiest if Cutler was not a douche, but hey, none of us can change that. so in lieu of that, I’m happy with this move.
by thedoctor on Apr 2, 2009 4:09 PM MDT reply actions 0 recs

Rather have McCoy than Bradford, but I think both will do well in the NFL.

WOW...
OMG…
Well, I can’t take the time to read in depth the bajillion comments already (the speed at which these comments are coming in actually makes posting kind hard as my window keeps shifting!)… but actually I am a bit happy here… I can watch Cutler play on Sundays for the early game and then go to a bar to watch the Broncos play the afternoon game.
My wife and quite possibly the entire city of Chicago are going NUTS right now. This is sooooo atypical of Jerry Angelo (Bears owner).
Orton will compete with Simms this year as he showed some promise this past year, but yea, I agree with most of the sentiments so far. We need to go out and draft / find a slightly better upgrade at the position.
As for Cutler, we’ll find out just how good enough he is… as he’ll be the QB of what Muhsin Muhammad once called “a WR wasteland, where WR’s go die”. Also, we’ll find out how just how good his mobility is as that OL is very inferior to Denver’s, even with the addition of Orlando Pace.

This is not a bad trade IMO
Kyle Orton was not a bad QB. He was young and inexperienced when he tookover for Grossman (I think). He did OK considering everything around him. I think that he will like having the OL that we have in front of him. He will like having the game planning of McD and McCoy. I personally think that he is an improvement over Simms. I guess we will see on that.
At least this whole thing is over. Cutler will really help the Bears. I just told a friend in Chicago that they will be in the playoffs pretty much every year for some time now.
My sense is that McD will try to land Sanchez – but if he is not there – may wait until next year. If everything were ideal, I could see Sanchez at #12; the best available NT at #18; the best ILB at #48; and the best RB at #79 (our pick); CB at #84 – from Chicago.

Orton's 2008 season
I watched every game he played last year, and with the talent y’all have, he’ll be OK. He doesn’t have the physical tools Cutler does, but he’s surprisingly solid. Has the makings of a leader. Every bit as good as Matt Cassell, if you want to make that comparison.
I’m a happy Bears fan, but not an Orton hater. You can win with him if you fix that defense of yours now.

Orton and Simms are both system guys that can hold the fort down until McD drafts who he wants.
I like the trade. It’s a dawn of a new era. With our O-line and receivers, I could definitely see Simms or Orton take us to the playoffs. I’m rooting for Simms to start. Don’t know why, I just am. Hopefully we’ll get Moreno at 12 and Tyson Jackson at 18. Then we can get Brace or Barwin in the second and still have two third rounders… Our draft this year is going to be AWESOME. When was the last time we had 2 first rounders? Well, we will for the next two years. We will get a lot better, a lot faster. We could build a top-flight team by 2012.

I love it for Denver.
That’s FOUR first round picks in the next two years. That’s another 3rd rounder for this year.
That’s time to build the defense.
The play-makers and pieces on offense are YOUNG. Marshall, Royal, Sheff(If he’s ok…), Clady, Harris, the line! Besides Casey and Stokes, the offense has time.
Orton is a system QB. He ran a shotgun spread at Purdue. He looked like an OK QB for parts of last year. Put him in a system offense, with some weapons, he is better.
Orton is a drunk. Loves his Jack Daniels, a personal favorite.
Cutler will realize what an aging defense, and NO TOOLS (Besides Forte who is a stud.) is like. They don’t have a good offensive line. I know they just signed Pace but he is past his prime and injured.
I live in Minneapolis, and I hope Jared Allen has a rude welcoming for him twice a year!
Lastly, still not happy with how Denver handled this whole thing. But it is over. Let’s GO!

Love the trade...
Let the new era begin. 2009 may be tough, but we should have ammo to go after McCoy or Bradford next year and we’ll be in good shape. Remember how good our O-Line played this year? Remember guys like Hillis, Marshall, Royal, Scheffler, Graham, and Stokes?? We can plug a sytem guy in there and win games this year. We have an opportunity to build a young defensive core through the draft this year AND pickup Knowshon.

Now we can sit on this year and build the team and try to get a qb in the draft with talent, such as trying to Sam Bradford next year, who would fit perfectly in this system.

What About...
Considering the hand McD and Cutler dealt us, we came out pretty good. Both sides messed this up, it was irreconcilable, so the trade had to go down. All of us would rather see the great free agency that we started this year with combined by Cutler, but we’ll just have to find the next Elway in the draft. We have lot of draft picks now, we will finish up that defense and let McD do the only think we know he can do, build us a QB. Orton only has one year left on his contract, he’s cheap, and we don’t know what he will do behind a stand up offensive line. Even if he busts, it’s not a big hit to us. Personally, I’d like to see another QB signed, a much better mentor to a drafted QB than Simms, and someone who could lead us for a couple years…

The Broncos hand was forced. You’re acting like all was fine a dandy with Cutler and we made this trade out of nowhere. Cutler wanted out. He demanded a trade and then refused to let the Broncos have a chance to smooth things over. We wanted Cutler as our QB. He forced this trade. Go be a Bears fan now if Cutler is who you’re rooting for. Most of us however are rooting for the Broncos, regardless of who is our signal-caller.

Bears fan here.
The cupboard isn’t completely bare… the Bears have two of the best tight ends in the NFC. Olsen is a QB away from being a pro-bowler, he gets open and catches everything that is thrown close enough to him to grab…
Hester ISN"T a joke. The guy was open down the field all day long last year… unfortunately, we didn’t have a QB who could throw the ball further than 20 yards with any accuracy at all.
Both the Bears RB’s are excellent recievers, especially Forte.
The only other guy we have is Bennett, who will meet up with his old college QB in Cutler. Bennett has a world of talent, but he was a complete non-factor last year.
Next bears signing? Holt. WR is a BIH problem for Da Bears, but frankly until we got a guy who could throw an out it really didn’t matter who was out there.
Kyle is a good guy, and is a serviceable backup QB. He has poise and in the right offense, he has the potential to be an average NFL QB.

Cutler can’t go through his progressions either. He locks onto his primary target and forces bad throws regardless of double coverage. He overlooks the WIDE open option in the flats to try to make the huge play every throw. He has all the tools, no doubt, he just doesn’t have the head right now. He’s also not a good leader with his me first attitude. He has shown potential, but to repeat a great comment I read on here recently, “I hope he shows POTENTIAL for the next 10 years”.

And just so everyone is aware
Guru asked for:
* First, while we would prefer a starting QB back, it isn’t a necessity. What will be required is an upper-level starter, preferably on defense, in the League. While we aren’t ecstatic about Chris Simms as the answer, it’s not like we can take a guy that hasn’t started since high school and win 11 games….oh, wait, ummmm, never mind.
* If you are going to include a QB, we have no interest in a player that isn’t good enough to start for your team. That means you, Miami, thanks-but-no-thanks, you can keep Chad Henne. Yeah, I know, that may create a bit of a situation with your one starting quarterback if they think you are looking to replace them. Maybe your players aren’t as ‘sensitive’ to such things as Cutler is. Do you really want to find out? Bid high!
* Draft picks, draft picks, draft picks. We have no interest in the #1 pick and the $40 million in guaranteed dollars that comes with it. You can keep that Detroit. For the rest of you, here is a good place to start. A first-rounder in 2009 and 2010, plus a 2nd- and a 4th-rounder. That’s if you give us a starting-caliber player in return. What, you think that is a lot? Haven’t you listened to the media? Cutler is a Pro Bowler, who threw for 4,500 yards last season. Under .500 as a starter? That’s all the defense’s fault.
We got the QB who was the starter. maybe he isnt a HOF guy but who cares
first rounder this year and next check!
second and fourth rounder- we negotiated a third which is alright for me
So we have
2 1st rounders
1 2nd rounder
2 3rd rounders
1 4th rounder
1 5th rounder
1 6th rounder
2 7th rounders for a total of:
10 Picks! Who isnt happy?

The other thing that happened here is that Denver owner Pat Bowlen grabbed this process by the horns and made the trade to Chicago happen. I will believe for a long time that Josh McDaniels wanted to take a passive approach here and let some rattled nerves calm down; and at some point before the draft, he’d try to make peace with Cutler. That’s the strong impression he left me with a week ago at the league meetings. But when Cutler continued to duck the Broncos, Bowlen had enough. "You do not mess with Pat Bowlen, and you definitely do not ignore him,’’ a man who knows Bowlen well told me this week. Cutler ignored him. That lit the fuse for the stunning trade to the Bears.
I had the same feeling that McD was going to wait awhile before pulling the plug on Cutler, to give everyone the best chance at making up. But Bowlen was clearly pissed. You can ignore the coach and maybe live to see another day in a Broncos jersey, but you don’t ignore the man who signs your check.

I have to admit, over the past few days it seemed to be inevitable that this would happen, but it doesn’t make it an easy pill to swallow. I was a very big fan and supporter of Cutler even through this ordeal. But when you’re more concerned about yourself than the success of the team I have a real problem with that. But the truth is, I’m Bronco fan more than a Broncos player fan. Even if he stayed his entire career he’d have to leave someday. We just have to get over it sooner than expected. We had to get over losing Elway, TD, Sharpe, Smith, etc. But the true fans are still here.

I’m ecstatic it’s over and if you watched Orton through the Grossman competition he has always been class. My point on the subject was now McDaniels can be the face of the Broncos and work with Orton.
I’ve been a Cutler backer throughout but I can’t wait until the draft and I don’t think we have a head case any more.
I love me some Orton!!
Go Broncos!!
13-3 baby!
The QB position is set.

I am a Bronco fan through thick and thin...
but I cannot cheer for a guy who likes to torture dogs…some of the stuff that they did there was absolutely horrific.

Won't happen anyway...
Tom Brady is accurate and runs a 10 second 40…pretty much the opposite of Vick.

I like Charlie Casserly's take on what Chicago gave up.
Cutler counts as one of those 1st rounders, and he equated the swapping of 3rd and 5th to half a pick. So really the Bears gave up the half pick this year and their 1st next year. This is assuming of course that the Bears are better off using a 1st rd this year on a “franchise” qb instead of improving another part of their team…and since they haven’t fielded a pro bowl in something line 23 years that is probably a safe assumption.

Orton isn't half bad
As a Bears fan, I can tell you that most of you guys aren’t giving Orton enough credit. If you look at his stats for the first 7 games last season (before his injury), his stats are actually better than the season averages for Cutler last year. Really! If you don’t believe it, look up the stats on NFL.com. He suffered a bad high ankle sprain in the 1st quarter of the Nov. 2 game versus Detroit. If you look at the games before that, his average QB rating was over 90, TD/Int ratio of 10/4, ~ 240 yards per game, completion percentage right around 62%..
This is with an O-line way worse than Denver’s, WR’s infinitely worse than Denver’s, and play calling far more conservative than Denver’s will be under McDaniels.
Then he had the injury, was supposed to be a 4-week injury that Chicago rushed him back from in 2 weeks and he was playing WAY hurt. But Chicago was desperate, and knew that Orton at 50% health was better for them than Grossman at 100% health (lol). He was never the same.
You may laugh, but honest to God, with the tools Orton has in Denver, he actually has the potential to be a near-Pro Bowl QB. Really. Not saying it will happen, but as a Bears fan and also as someone who currently lives in DC (and watches Redskins game), I would take Orton over Campbell in a heartbeat especially in McDaniels offensive system.

I agree with you on Orton
His stats were very good before he got injured last year. He is also very liked in the Chicago locker room and is a team leader

I also agree on Orton.
I think that he will open some eyes in Denver. He needs some good troops around him and he will succeed more than he did in the Windy city. Good comments.

who will start in 09?
will it be Chris Simms, Kyle Orton, Mike Vick, Mark Sanchez, or last but not least SHANE FALCO?

I would add Jeff Garcia to that list
He’s a better 1 year stopgap solution that Orton or Simms.
If we could have just screwed another head on his shoulders, he would have been the greatest QB who ever lived.

I'm pretty sure Falco is available.
If this be Hell, let us make the most of it!

Nice picture of Vick
I vote for Shane Falco
Thanks to Mike Shanahan, a great coach who will be dearly missed.
Hillis for starter next year. He wears special thigh pads so his solid brass balls don't give him repeated thigh contusions.

Enough with the Vick garbage.
1. The guy thinks it’s ok/fun to torture dogs! Drowning, electrocuting, curb stomping etc.
2. He is the EXACT opposite of what McD wants in a qb…stupid, inaccurate and runs better than throws.

I went to the link...
and didn’t hear any comments by Shannan (do you mean Shanahan?) regarding the fact that “Im not a big fan of Cutler”. Is that what you meant. If so, could you post the correct link be incorrect? Thanks.

the speed of this trade...
just confirms to me josh never wanted jay on his team, and he got the green light. we are right back where we started years ago, without plummer, and orton for a 5th-rounder, basically. and qb issues. you’re telling me we couldn’t do better than orton, with simms as the starter? would you like me to compile a list of better options? holy shit.
for the future, the 18th pick, and (likely) a lower one next season. and then we still have to pay 4 first-rounders good money the next 2 drafts, even if they suck. we’ll probably have to cut some good players to do it, too. draft a qb? and he’ll be ready when, exactly? it appears we are stuck between win now, and rebuilding, but not doing either very well. outside of denver, you can hear the laughter. just peachy

Exactly
Can’t ignore the boss without consequence.
Really, it came down to a simple employer-employee relationship. The employer (Pat Bowlen) said “call me”, and Cutler didn’t.
Pretty simple, actually. And totally understandable to those that’ve ever had any supervisory experience.

Besides
who says we have to draft 4 first rounders? We can always trade two of them for a bevy of 2-3rd rounders…

I’m not happy we lost Cutler, but if we had to this was probably the best possible outcome. Although I’m guessing Orton will not end up on our roster but traded to someone else.
