I can see the huddle right now. Devin, go deep. O-line, just give me a few seconds.

woah, pasta you're fast. I just read breaking news on nfl.com.. tab over to pasta and reload and its already blogged with a picture! impressive

I really wanted to see Jay go to Detroit. I dont like seeing a team go 0-16.. and if they pick Stafford it sucks to see all that money go into a bust.

But yeah this should be good for Chicago.. be interesting to see if Orton is part of the trade.

Wow, that was quick. They must have really wanted to get rid of him. I think both teams got a pretty good deal. Chicago finally has a QB and Denver gets rid of the crybaby while adding some good draft picks to the fold. Kyle Orton sucks so that's a major step down for them, but he's not their future, just a stop-gap QB until they can get someone else anyway.

Glad to see that soap opera over.

wow wut a great trade for chicago not only in real life but in madden looks like the bears will finally be used in madden lol

That's the benefit of taking screens beforehand anticipating possible outcomes

I updated the story with the terms of the deal. Two first rounders, a third rounder, and Orton for Cutler and a fifth rounder.

thats crazy pasta. i was just gonna post that lol. I would have never guessed the Bears. Do you think they traded to first round picks and Orton to get him? Now the bears need a true #1 reciever then they are set to reach the playoffs

This is a perfect situation for Chicago. Cutler is a Bears fan and has the armstrength to play in Chicago. Devin Hester has someone to get him the ball down field. And his almost telepathic relationship with Earl Bennett fills Chicagos need for a 2nd receiver. A few well chosen offensive and defensive linemen from the draft and this team could be very dangerous.

ESPN is reporting that the deal is Cutler and a 3rd Rd pick for Orton and a 1st Round pick in 2009 and 2010. I've seen three different versions of the trade in the last five minutes, so we'll just have to wait and see when it's made official.

REPORT: the trade was Cutler to Bears for 2009 and 2010 first round draft picks as well as QB Jay Cutler

Just saw it on ESPNEWS

to continue i mean this trades benefits greg olsen the most cuz cutler loves throwin to his tightends and also devin hester will def b asked to go deep alot lol now they only need one big time threa WR and a secondary tht doesnt get hurt then i think top 5 NFC team

At least Chicago will give him some great receivers to throw too. I see no possible way this will fail.

Anyway, we know he has a good arm, so it will be interesting to see how this affects Madden with Devon Hester's speed + Cutler being able to bomb it down field.

You mean as well as QB Kyle Orton. I just read the Broncos had to give up a 3rd round pick in addition to Cutler. So that would give the Broncos Orton and 2 1st Rd picks, and the Bears would get Cutler and a 3rd.

cutler in madden will be a huge upgrade for the team imo. Hester's speed and cutlers arm will be a great combo. This trade doesn't surprise me as I thought the Bears would have the most to offer in terms of QB and picks

broncos made away pretty good

im just glad it wasnt the redskins really..
definately a good move for Chicago. In my opinion they should pick up Harrison or Holt if they can to make up for no first round pick. And maybe grab Ramses Barden the WR in the 2nd round if he is there.

WOW!!! Good deal for both teams. The Bears got a QB for the future who is peaking now and the Broncos get the ability to build with draft picks…

I think Cutler is overrated he gets the most yards but he had the most attempts and only like 17 tds for the Broncos.

yes it will be a great combo but have da bears damaged long term success with the trades of 2 future first round pick??. the are a great run blocking team but can anyone pass block for longer than 2 seconds??

yeah for the future but now kyle orton who couldnt win games for the bears is now your potential starting qb and no run game or great defense to help back him up!!! this will be intresting. first no cassell and now no cutler. lmao at mcdaniel. i hope they have something up there sleeve with this. maybe they will trade for brady quinn or derek anderson with the extra picks or use them to trade up for sanchez or stafford.

Idk it's amazing what an average QB can do with outstanding receivers. Because let's honest, Marshall and Royal are 20 times better than anything the Bears have. Also, McDaniels has coached and developed some pretty good QBs in the past, so it'd be great to see Orton thrive in Denver.

I think its a step forward for Denver… they got rid of a spoiled QB and have the necessary draft pics to get (possibly move up) a QB in the draft and groom him to replace cutler.

Very good point. I've heard some say though that whoever gets the better player in a trade is the winner… but we will just have to wait and see. A solid QB is something that Bears fans (and vikes fans ) have been only been able to dream about. If Cutler continues to improve as QB he will be worth it for that team.

evrybody is beating up cutler for crying his way out but if somebody all in but every word said they didnt want you what would you do??

I'd suck it up and prove them wrong. I'd realize that I've only been a starter in the league for two years and I haven't won anything and I still have a lot to prove. It would motivate me to play harder.

Oh well, he's Chicago's problem now. Wait until the Bears fans get ahold of him if they don't win. They gave up way too much to get him. He better work out or he's going to be crying again really soon.

He also threw 18 INTs to go with his 25 TDs.

Are you a Broncs fan, or live here in Denver? I'm not a big fan, but I like seeing teams take stands like the Broncos did in this case (and Philly did w/ TO a couple of years ago). Simms or Orton, I bet the team wins at least as many as they won last year (8).

Nah, I'm actually a lifelong Cowboys fan living here in Texas. Love all things football, though. And I agree, the Broncos will be just fine after this trade. The Bears, on the other hand, I'm scared for, because expectations are going to be really high after you give up as much as they gave up to get Cutler.

for the sake of real life, glad it did not involved the browns. for the sake of madden 10, cutler wouldve been nice since we still would have had that first rounder in year 1 of franchise.

i like both moves the bears made today. o pace will help them out for a couple years. it helps the bears that forte plays like they drafted him in the first round last year.

from a browns fan again, thank you denver for not getting us involved in a straight up or 3 way deal for cutler.

receivers are a dime a dozen. qb's are not/ thats why they make soo much more money than everybody else. the broncos started this with trying to trade cutler at first and never really comming out with a strong staement that they wanted culter as the qb. T.O. Case was he signed a horrible contract and wanted a new one and went about the wrong way trying to get it. T.O. cried first not the team. 8 wins??? they dont play in the same confrence as the cardinals. 10 wins wont even cut it so they will have some work cut out for them. i really think they will package the picks and move up to take sanchez.

expectations are always high in chicago regardless who the qb is. and i would say the same for denver also. i would say denver is in some trouble here. last time i checked they played in the afc and its hard when you have 10 win teams not making the playoffs.as opposed to 8 win team getting to the super bowl.

im calling it first pasta. broncos will trade to get sanchez or tempt a trade for brady quinn.

I agree with you Mculberson the Broncos are set if they draft wisely. The key is drafting wisely. The Bears have a lot of issues. No #1 or #2 WR's a unstable offensive line (even with the Pace addition) and a young but unproven TE. On top of all this they have no draft picks to get better. Jay Cutler has a lot to prove this year hopefully he plays with a chip on his shoulder.

A terrible contract? It was for $7mil a year and he was whining that he couldn't feed his family (I'm talking TO/Philly contract). As far as Cutler goes, over 60% of the 20,000 people the Denver Post polled last night said "good riddance" (an actual quote from the poll). The thing is, character means more to me than flat out talent, and this shows a HUGE lack of character. So WHAT the team was looking into other options, you go back to the locker room, show the leadsership skills that your position demands and show that you you will be an asset to your current employer or to whatever team they send you. THEN, if you feel slighted, go into the coach's/GM's office and discuss the situation like professionals. That's what I or you would be expected to do in our current jobs. You do NOT throw a hissy fit from 1200 miles away and refuse to fly back to town to talk about it. That is just bullshit.

I'm actually sitting just one Cutler pass away from Mile High Stadium as I type this, and most of Denver is glad he's gone.

Go deep every play. This will be hilarious. Everyone will be complaining about the fastest player in the game with one of the strongest arms. HAHAhhaaha

Bears fan here who run with the Bears 100% on Madden. Question is would Cutler (97 arm) be a lot more better than Grossman (95 arm) in regards to the deep ball? I don't use Grossman, and Orton, who has a 90 arm strength in the game is more than adequate for the deep to Hester. But I seldom go for the deep ball because the key here is the line and Hester himself. Hester is easy to press and bump on streak and with our Oline, that's not a good combination (although he had break many tackles for a TD from quick slant on man-to-man). But if the last roster update is any indication, then Shaffer and Pace is a step up to what we have in the game.

But maybe I'm not as successful with the deep ball as I should with Hester's speed because I play against players with decent record, so they are aware when they see Hester. And I'm not a cheeser who roll to one side for that deep slant many Patriots and Cowboys players often use.

I don't really care as long as this whole move(s) translate into something positive in real life for the city of Chicago. Oh, and hopefully Chicago would also get the Olympic. And Dwyane Wade to the Bulls next season. Hopeful thinking for the latter, but hey, so was Cutler.

I'm also glad he did not land two state up.

BEARS GAVE UP WAY TOO MUCH WAYYYYYYYYYYY TOOOOOOOOO MUCH

BEARS GAVE UP WAY TOO MUCH WAYYYYYYYYYYY TOOOOOOOOO MUCH

This is why Pasta is awesome! So quick with the news and dead on with the hypothetical trades. Bears are taking a gamble with Cutler now and mortgaging their future but could be worth it considering that they still have many of their Superbowl defensive starters but who are aging. Should have a favorable schedule this season too. Packers/Bears games will also be much more interesting to watch now. If you got rid of the Lions, NFC North should be a pretty decent division.

Getting a 25 year old pro bowl QB who will play at least another 10 years will suit our future just fine. Not like our first rounders are any good anyway. And we had an extra third rounder this year, so no loss there. So I think we'll alllllllllright.

I would not be shocked if the Broncos traded their two first rounders for #4. I think the Hawks would like to trade down if the opportunity to do so arises.

Lol. The players union advised T.O. not to sign such a backloaded contract as you might not know most contracts in the nfl are not really a sure things now a days. T.O. was soo happy to get out of the baltimore deal he signed anything the eagles presented to him. As far as Cutler yes he cried his way out but you tried to compare his sittuation to TO and they are totally diffrent. We will see how long the party last for with Orton at the qb for the Broncos. Poll again after the season.

Pasta, were you expecting the Bears to take Cutler, like, of all teams you really thought that the Bears would be the one to win the race? I'm a Bears fan and I really got excited about all of this, but it was really strange that of all teams you chose to put Cutler in a Bears uniform in the main picture of your post about where he could land.

For Madden, the impact will really be great, but let's not forget, with all the new QB "play", more than ever, the impact will be greater for those that really know how to use a QB.

i think so too the hawks are in a win now mode. so no time to shel out money to a 4th overall and wait for him to develop. On the Broncos side McDaniel should have not took a page out of Bill Belichick's book when he came to new team and rode out the star qb (bernie kosar) at cleveland.for vinny testaverde! that didnt get him too far as he was fired though it he did luck up into tom brady with in New England. Basicallt bad move Broncos!
