Most Likely Destinations For Jay Cutler

Yesterday Broncos owner Pat Bowlen came out and publicly stated that the team is attempting to trade Jay Cutler. This is the culmination of a rocky month ever since his name surfaced as having been part of the talks between the Chiefs, Patriots, and Bucs in what ended up just being Matt Cassel to the Chiefs.

Which team will trade for Jay Cutler and what will that mean for them in Madden 10? Continue on to view the most likely destinations and leave your thoughts in the comments.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

It was the Bucs attempting to acquire Cutler earlier in the offseason that set in motion the events that led to where we are today. They have the #19 selection in the draft but no second rounder to package with it and probably don’t have a QB to include that would interest the Broncos. With the addition of Kellen Winslow the Bucs would be an entertaining offense in Madden with Cutler at the helm.

New York Jets

It’s no secret that the Jets don’t have an answer at QB and have expressed interest in Cutler previously. They have the #17 pick which could be dangled as part of an offer. He may not be the right fit though for new head coach Rex Ryan’s system. For Madden he would vastly improve over anyone currently on the roster though there wouldn’t be the same threats at receiver to take advantage of as there was in Denver or some of the other possible places he may be traded.

Washington Redskins

The Redskins apparently are making a run at Cutler. They have the #13 pick and may also look to unload Jason Campbell considering the circumstances. Cutler would fit well in a west coast offense system such as the Redskins run. He would improve the team in Madden, though maybe not to the extent that he would for the other potential destinations as Campbell has been relatively effective in the game.

Carolina Panthers

The Panthers are desperate. So much so that they’re looking at bringing back Jake Delhomme. Imagine how good the team would be with Cutler. Two great running backs, a great wide receiver, and a solid defense. While Carolina doesn’t have a first round draft pick to offer they are trying to find a suitor for Julius Peppers. The NFC South is known for flipping standings every year and the Panthers would be primed for a run at the division crown should they acquire Cutler.

Chicago Bears

Kyle Orton isn’t a long term solution for the Bears. They have the #18 pick but that wouldn’t be enough on its own. If they were able to add Cutler and draft a receiver the offense would have some firepower. It just doesn’t seem like the Bears want to make any kind of splash this offseason.

San Francisco 49ers

With the bust that Alex Smith turned out to be it’s difficult to make another huge investment at QB. However it will have to be done sooner or later and the opportunity to get someone like Cutler does not come around often. The 49ers have the #10 pick that could be involved in a potential deal. It wouldn’t give the team a great offense but they’d be taking a big step towards it.

Minnesota Vikings

cutlervikings

After trading for Sage Rosenfels the Vikings would seem a long shot to end up with Cutler. But someone like Rosenfels shouldn’t be what prevents a team from going after a franchise QB. With Cutler the Vikings would easily be one of the best teams in Madden. It’s going to take a lot more than their #22 pick though to get something done.

Well that came from an April Fools story, but I do know they've flirted with a lime green alternate in the past. I'd totally buy one if it actually came about. I'm someone that likes the Dolphins bright orange alternate…

Yeah, it was a fool's joke apparently but they are way better than Chicago's or Miami's orange tops! Those are laughable.

The NBA & NHL playoffs are about to take place and MLB season opener is about to commence. Yet here we are pounded by Football daily even though it's the off-season. I Love it! The new American Pastime doesn't have an off-season. As soon as the Super Bowl is over you have the nfl combine follwoed by free agency, the pre draft the draft the post draft mandatory training camp the preseason and then the regular season. Football is simply a year round sport and the best one in my opinion.

As far as Cutler goes I see him going to an NFC team to keep him out of the conference and possible match-ups during the season. Tampa Bay makes the most sense. But Washington might throw a monkey wrench into the mix and give them a Jerry Jones type deal.

I think the jets will get him. Without Favre they have no franchise QB. Cutler would step in as a playmaker as soon as he puts a Jets jersey on. The only problom I see is who the #2 WR would be if they give up two first round picks. But I will stick with him going to NY

I know one person that's thankful this story is taking all the headlines: Donte Stallworth. And I'm sure the NFL is glad they can lead with something else other than that aweful tragedy that gives the league a black eye.

I'm sure they're begging for the soap opera to continue so everyone won't focus on Stallworth's driving drunk and killing someone.

I wouldn't be surprised when the dust settles if Cutler is a Bronco. All this talk could be for nothing.

Good call Orton isnt a bad QB at all He do not have any real weapons other than Forte and okay TEs. But we have no line or receivers, I would like to see the Bears address the receiver position but there cheap ass will not. They are depending on the draft but its a well known fact the Bears cannot pick WRs and QBs we got lucky with Hester but he came out of College playing CornerBack and with a aging defence 8-8 is what im thinking our record will be this year unless we strike gold in the draft.

I didn't see the Bears mortgaging the future for one player. They gave up 2 (1st) round picks a 3rd and their former starting QB. Think about this Denver has a solid offense get a steady albeit unspectacular QB. They can draft another young QB in the 1st round and still keep with their draft strategy. Whereas Chicago only has 1 pick in the 1st 3 rounds( 59th pick 2nd round) no true #1 or #2 receiver and a make shift offensive line (even with Pace). Chicago can't even trade for a WR as they have no high picks left. It's boom or bust for Chicago this year and next and their best bet is to hit free agency hard next year or draft extremely well in the middle rounds

http://intensedebate.com/people/mculberson mculberson

I totally agree. This deal is defintely a great one for Denver, but a not so good one for Chicago. They gave up way to much to get him. But, hey, if they think he's going to help them win now then more power to them. I just don't see him coming in and making that big of a difference. If you compare Orton and Cutler's numbers last year, Orton really wasn't that bad. Cutler had a boat load of yards because they threw the ball all the time, but that's it. He hasn't proven to be a winner yet.

Oh, well, like I said earlier, just glad to see this soap opera over with. I was getting tired of seeing Cutler's goofy, "I'm half-asleep" looking face all over the internet anyway.

I sure hope so… I'm hoping next year we take a true franchise qb with one of those first round draft picks we've got and then fix whatever holes are leftover on our defense after this year.

Side note / question – Don't QB's have their fingers on the strings of the football anymore? Looking at Big Ben's and Cutler's screenshots, how can they throw the football that way…not touching the strings? Wouldn't it end up looking like a stinkin' kickoff??
