Brady Quinn a Bronco?! Cutler a Lion?

[packers11]

ESPN's John Clayton says there's a "decent chance" that Brady Quinn will be a Bronco once the Jay Cutler situation is resolved.

"I'd have to think things start to broker through Cleveland, possibly involving the Detroit Lions," Clayton said. The Broncos are reportedly hoping to deal Cutler to an NFC team. A Detroit-Cleveland-Denver three-way deal makes plenty of sense, with the Lions getting Cutler and Browns getting picks.

Could the Lions be contenders next year in the NFC north? They could have a potent offense with Cutler, but the D is still awful... If they get Cutler, we wouldn't have 2 free wins...

The Lions would be a much better team, but I think they are a bit more than just a QB away from contending in our division, much less our conference. And if they'd have to part with a day 1 pick or two it would hinder their ability to fill the other holes on their team. I'm not sure how much better they'd be in the very short term, but as part of a long term plan this could be a very good move for them.

I think the Lions giving up multi-picks for Cutler ensures another five years of futility for the Lions.

Toss an apparent prima-donna onto a talentless team (okay, they have a very good young receiver, a good young running back, and a young offensive lineman) with a rudderless owner, and - wala! - false hopes, drama, and eventual bitter disappointment.

Right, Fritz. The Lions will be bad regardless, and giving up significant picks would set them back more.

I'm hoping the Vikings don't get Cutler, as he would be a large step up for them--a team that is a probably a QB away from being top tier.

Vikings coach Brad Childress reiterated Tuesday that he is satisfied with the team's quarterback situation going into the 2009 season.


Childress emphasized that Sage Rosenfels is familiar with his system and is an upgrade on Gus Frerotte. Yahoo.com is also reporting that the Vikings won't be players for Jay Cutler because his personality has been red-flagged among coaches and front office types in Minnesota.

Looks like they won't be in the Cutler sweepstakes... I'm thrilled...

No way the Vikings will go after Cutler. Everything I've read and heard indicates no trade with the Vikings will happen.

What scares me is the thought of what Cutler would do for Calvin Johnson. That's a scary combination........given Cutler has enough time.

Talk radio down here is ripping the Bears for not sniffing around. For whatever that's worth, they might be staying pat as well.

finally a topic that interest the Bear fan on here since the season ended.
But Cutler has a better chance to land in Chicago than Detroit.

If he lands in the NFC it will be with the Tampa Bay, Panthers or Bears. Broncos want a QB in return that can start today, and a draft pick does not guarantee that. They may also be looking for a defensive player that can improve their team. Detroit can not offer any of that.

The Bears have been calling about him since the last two weeks of March. Tell me WHICH team in the NFL has made a press conference about "sniffing"around the idea of getting Cutler?

Well, that eliminates the Bears!

To be fair he said "start today" not "play well"

lol...
Well, ALL of the pundits have suggested that Orton is the best option of a team that has a QB for them "today" along with a draft pick in which they can pick up a stud defensive linemen.
Not saying that the Bears will land him, but just that he has a better chance of being in Chicago then Detroit.

What do you realistically think the Bears could offer to get Cutler? No way are the Broncos interested in Orton and #18.

Reports are swirling about possible 3 team trades, so the Bears don't necessarily have to have anything Denver would want. Denver wants a QB, which the Bears don't have to spare, but Cleveland does. So let's say the Bears have something that the BROWNS want. What then? I could totally see a possibility of Cutler landing in Chicago, but it would have to involve another team as well to make the trade work. Not at all unheard of.
