Denver Will Trade QB Jay Cutler

by Brandon on Apr 1, 2009 12:00 PM CDT in Green Bay Packers News

Greg Bedard at JSOnline.com thinks a QB Jay Cutler trade might hurt the Packers if one of the NFC North teams gets him. True, but some team will have to give up a lot to get him. Also, the Vikings might not be able to financially afford such a move due to the down economy and they had to go get extra money from their owners last year to pull off the DE Jared Allen trade. I'm not concerned about Cutler in the NFC North, yet.

I'm no Denver fan, but I hate to see any NFL team trash their franchise. And that's what trading Cutler would do to Denver. They could still compete, the AFC West will probably be the worst division again in 2009, but they'll be a bad team. Their defense is awful. And their offense would probably be awful without Cutler. They're an old team too. LT Ryan Clady and WR Brandon Marshall are two very talented young players, but overall that's a veteran team. They could reload over the next couple seasons with some good drafts and remain competitive with Cutler at QB. But they are going to fall on hard times without him.

would it be the vikings tho?

The Lions were part of the first rumored trades with Cutler and Cassel. So I would have to think they would/could still be involved. That would surely help them. They do have the 20th overall pick if Denver demanded a first round pick. This could extremely hurt the Pack in other ways. If they did make the trade you would think they would end any specualtion on Stafford and grab Curry. Thus moving up every OLB/ DE up a spot. This could hurt the Pack in maybe not being able to get Brown or Orakpo. Leaving only Maybin who I am not completely sold on as a top 10…

But I agree with you. Denver would be trashing themselves and wasting a good QB.

Cutler Needs a New Agent

I’d sure like to read the text messages going between Bus Cook and Jay Cutler, wouldn’t you?

I actually don’t think Cutler going to Detroit is all that bad an option. If he goes to Detroit, the NY Press will eat him alive. Don’t forget, TT still has the option of reaching down to grab someone. Raji’s slated to go to Seattle. Oher’s slated to go where? Somehow, I think Orakpo might be there, as long as TT doesn’t trade #9 away. THAT would be a mistake.

trade

I don’t necessarily think a trade down would be a bad idea. Just depends whats available! Obviously if Raji, Orakpo, Brown, Curry, J. Smith or Monroe is on the board you take them, but if all are gone then a trade down, to allow someone to get a QB, and give us more picks would be a good idea… Unless you want to take a chance on A. Smith, reach alot for Maybin, or take Oher… None of those really appeals to me at all!
