Cutler going to Bears

The Chicago Bears pulled the big upset Thursday afternoon by acquiring Denver Broncos quarterback Jay Cutler, a source told ESPN.com.

The Broncos confirmed the move.

Terms of the trade weren't immediately available, but the Bears had to beat out the Redskins, Buccaneers, Lions, Titans and other teams to get land the 25-year-old Pro Bowl quarterback.

The Broncos had been asking for at least two first-round choices.

Cutler asked to be traded when he found out first-year coach Josh McDaniels tried to acquire Matt Cassel in a trade with the Patriots.

Cutler had not returned phone calls from the Broncos, according to the team, and had been staying away from the offseason program.

Well the Bears have a qb now.

Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

Already posted in the NFL News section. This isn't anything related with Packers discussion. Somebody should close/delete this.

This is not good at all.

I wish today was still April fools.

I am totally eating my words from my facebook status right now.

"Sean Yerkes thinks Bears fans are hilarious. What can the Bears possibly fork over for Jay Cutler? Get real...you have nothing!"

man, I am already getting reamed by these Fluckin Bears fans.

DAMN YOU ARE FAST!

Let's hit up the NFC North Espn Blog while we are at it! I am actually very excited about this. I want the NFC North to be as competitive as possible.

Oh boy. The NFC North got a lot more interesting a few minutes ago.

Chicago pulled off the move of the offseason, acquiring quarterback Jay Cutler from Denver in exchange for quarterback Kyle Orton and first-round draft picks in 2009 and 2010. (The Bears will get a third-rounder from the Broncos this year.) The move gives the quarterback-starved organization its first "franchise-quarterback" in, well, a long time. (Send your nominations here.)

Needless to say, there are all sorts of angles we'll be hitting before the night is through. But let's just say that the Bears -- who at 9-7 finished one game behind Minnesota last season -- have shaken up the Black and Blue division.

Much more to come, including Cutler's childhood history as a Bears fan and his pending reunion with former Vanderbilt teammates Earl Bennett and Chris Williams. Yes, the band has gotten back together.

My Bad...

Did not see it in the NFL News section.

Although I think this IS PACKER NEWS. Has a huge effect on the NFC North, and a team they play twice next year.

The Bears sold their soul to obtain Cutler.. 2 first's, a third and Orton.. lol..

Bears might finally have a QB, but they can't stock much else in top shelf talent.. lol.

dfosterf (1h) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount

dfosterf (1h) : Trade, cut or keep

dfosterf (2h) : that from Jaire

dfosterf (2h) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'

Zero2Cool (2h) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"

dfosterf (2h) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it

Zero2Cool (2h) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.

dfosterf (2h) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent

dfosterf (2h) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility

dfosterf (2h) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission

dfosterf (2h) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers

Zero2Cool (3h) : That someone ... likely the agent.

Zero2Cool (3h) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.

Zero2Cool (3h) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.

Zero2Cool (3h) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.

dfosterf (5h) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"

dfosterf (5h) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that

dfosterf (5h) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?

Zero2Cool (21h) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.

dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move

dfosterf (15-Apr) : My wife just told the ancient Japanese sushi dude not enough rice under his fish

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I think a dozen is what I need

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Go fund me for this purpose just might work. A dozen nurses show up at 1265 to provide mental health assistance.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : what

Martha Careful (14-Apr) : WINNING IT, not someone else losing it. The best victory though was re-uniting with his wife

Martha Careful (14-Apr) : The manner in which he won it was just amazing and wonderful. First blowing the lead then getting back, then blowing it. But ultimately

Zero2Cool (12-Apr) : I'm guessing since the thumb was broken, he wasn't feeling it.

dfosterf (10-Apr) : Looking for guidance. Not feeling the thumb.

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : If they knew about it or not

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : I don't recall that he did which is why I asked.

Zero2Cool (10-Apr) : Guessing they probably knew. Did he have cast or something on?

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : Did they know that at the time or was that something the realized afterwards?

Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Van Ness played most of season with broken thumb

wpr (9-Apr) : yay

Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Mark Murphy says Steelers likely to protect Packers game. Meaning, no Ireland

Zero2Cool (8-Apr) : Struggling to figure out what text editor options are needed and which are 'nice to have'

Mucky Tundra (8-Apr) : *CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP*

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : WR who said he'd break Xavier Worthy 40 time...and ran slower than you

Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Who?

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Texas’ WR Isaiah Bond is scheduled to visit the Bills, Browns, Chiefs, Falcons, Packers and Titans starting next week.

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Spotting ball isn't changing, only measuring distance is, Which wasn't the issue.

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : The spotting of the ball IS the issue. Not the chain gang.

Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Will there be a tracker on the ball or something?

Zero2Cool (1-Apr) : uh oh
