Jay Cutler To The Bears

Reports are now surfacing that the Broncos have agreed to a trade sending Jay Cutler to the Bears. The package for Cutler is said to include two first round picks, a third round pick, and Kyle Orton. A fifth rounder will be sent back along with Cutler to Chicago.

That is a hefty price to pay but rare is the opportunity to get a QB of Cutler’s caliber. This is especially the case for the Bears who have suffered through mediocrity at the position for so many years. The Broncos definitely come out of a bad situation looking better than many would’ve predicted given the circumstances.

With Devin Hester’s speed on the outside and Matt Forte as a threat in the running game this makes the Bears’ offense much more dynamic. If they were to draft another receiver or offensive lineman with their second rounder they’d be in even better shape. What do you think of Chicago acquiring Cutler and how will it affect the teams in Madden 10?

    All the Bears need now is Torry Holt! They better get him while he's still available!
  • Not with the Pats beatin up on them in both games next year.

    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.

    Man i could see it now open up my madden 10

    pick my hometeam bears

    Cutler to Hester for 6

    hester is really going to benefit from this. Finally a guy that has the throw power to match his
    speed
  • 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.
  • BEARS GAVE UP WAY TOO MUCH WAYYYYYYYYYYY TOOOOOOOOO MUCH
  • pat
    damn the bears are making a lot of noise they got cutler and orlando pace and pace def. got some rele good talent left....im worried about cutler though hes a cry baby...im glad the jets didnt get him cause he couldnt handle the media in nyc
  • badgerboy 21
    As a packer fan i love it, way to mortgage the future for a Wildly inconsistent QB with a huge attitude prob!! Keep it up Bears, and love that aging defense! GO PACK GO

    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.

    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.
  • MICHAEL JORDAN
    YEA HAHAHAHA RIGHT D-WADE IS DEFINITLY NOT COMMING TO THE BULLS
    GO JACK OF TO MIKE DITKA EATING A STEAK
  • blake.
    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
  • 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.
  • im calling it first pasta. broncos will trade to get sanchez or tempt a trade for brady quinn.
  • 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.
  • 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!
  • he also had an 86 qb rating and threw for a little over 4500 yards
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • He also threw 18 INTs to go with his 25 TDs.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • d-and
    ya he actually had like 25 last year....
  • 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 :P) have been only been able to dream about. If Cutler continues to improve as QB he will be worth it for that team.
  • James
    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.
  • you trade a franchise qb to take an unproven one and you call that a step up???
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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??
  • Shoe
    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.
  • 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.
  • Colts fan
    I think Cutler is overrated he gets the most yards but he had the most attempts and only like 17 tds for the Broncos.
  • I am a die hard Bears fan and am only now beginning to think about what this means for my team. This is amazing!
  • Michael
    Bears Just Signed Orlando Pace Too!!! Big Moves Today!!!
  • 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...
