Cutler to be a No Show on Monday… Scheffler too

I hate this and I wish we could keep Cutler but since it looks like he is as good as gone:

Brady Quinn for Broncos QB 2009!!!! (But I’d still like to keep Cutler.)

I guess the next move(or non move ) happens after tomorrow at 8 am. Would be a shame to lose a talented player, ( or two) but this is about adult things( multimillion dollar contracts) and not childish things( McD hurt my feelings, sniff).

I agree, lose Cutler (if we have to) Get Brady Quinn!

Garrett I agree .but its time to understand business, and Cutler doesn’t. If Buzz Crook is behind this, and Cutler goes along with it, then goodbye Jay hope you have an Offensive line in Detroit. Hey Tony, see ya.

When Pat Bowlen speaks Denver fans should listen. Jay Cutler is done in Denver.
Coach McDaniels can coach up a decent QB. I am not sure Chris Simms is that QB. Brady Quinn seems to have all the intangibiles.
Cutler for Quinn and a second round draft choice.

My goodness! Does anybody miss Shanny as much as I do? @$#%$# Nice management! Cutler get your ass in their and take charge! If we get Quinn and a second for Cutler I’m going rifle shopping! lol Everybody goes then! Jay, Bowlen, McDaniels… Why should I have to sit through another bullshit season when we WERE GETTING SO CLOSE!!

Indeed. Tony’s a top-5 recieving TE. When healthy anyway. And Cutler might, if he walks, become the highest paid player ever. I think he has that kind of potential.

Jay Cutler and Tony Scheffler are both represented by agent Bus Cook
Oh yeah, 1st on the people that need a big sh#t taken on their heads list!
Bus Crook.

Danish I think you hit the nail on the head.

“Cutler might, if he walks, become the highest paid player ever.”

It seems like Team Jay Cutler (Bus Cook and Jay) have been trying like hell to get out of Denver. So if he wants out so be it, I don’t want the second coming of Jeff George on my team.

Dee? Got that Crow cooking for me? I’m almost mad enough to eat it raw!

ha! good luck Cutler going to the Titans or the Bears.. we had enough of you in Denver. Go play for Detroit and mope on the sidelines all season long.
And McD you really f-uped, if you think the fans are going to be nice to you your rookie year, your wrong.
like if these 2 a-holes read this blog.

mrerdaOO its horse trading time, and I think Jay Cutler to Detroit for #1 and # 20 of the first round. Should the trade be with Cleveland, their first #5 and Brady Quinn. Nobody starts a negotiation at less than face value. Trust me, I’ve been involved in imillion dollar deals. Cutler and his agent have screwed up if they were trying to leverage this deal. There’s 3 years left on the deal and there’s no “no trade clause” in his contract. He and Crook have screwed themselves.

How about Cutler and Scheffler to Browns for Quinn, DT Rogers, and 1st rounder (#5). Now we’re talking!

Quinn would be great, atleast a QB with class

RVG10 Now you’re thinking. If Cutler’s goal is to be the highest paid, then let someone else make that mistake. As Broncos fans we want success.

WidbeyBronco Screw the crow, you were only standing up for what you thought was right. Leave the personal attacks behind, you have something to contribute, should you choose to do that.

How could this be a sad day tomorrow, given that he doesnt show? No trades are going to be made until draft day, a lot can happen before than…..such as they quit bitching and make up.

i cant wait for quinn to be a bronco, cause im pretty sure the broncs will get a tremendous discount on myoplex products

MIAbronco haha. “My workout isn’t over until I’ve had a Myoplex shake. (crushes can) Now I’m done!” super-lame commercial

Am I the only one who sees this running into Training Camp??? I think what will happen is we will say: “Jay Cutler will not be traded at all.” while Jay whines and bitches until as we go behind the medias backs and try to find potential suitors and then trade him away to the highest bidder before training camp is out. Maybe it is just me, but that is what I see happening. Anybody else see this?

If he doesn’t show then he’s not the man or leader that I thought he was. I really still think he will and the media just wants a story. But if he’s a no show, he can get the f out. The QB is the leader of the team and a leader leads by example. Not showing up isn’t the exampe to set at all. If he’s traded, I hope we get some great value for him and I’ll support that, If not he better get his act together real quick.

is it me or does brady quinn always look sound and look like he’s fighting back tears

yeah, but Cutler looks like he doesn’t even know where he is most of the time too

Joe As the Rolling Stones put it “Its all over now!”. When Pat Bowlen says its over, the Fat Lady has Sung. Orera Over, Folks.

Richard-
Pat Bowlen did not say its over though. He said that he is sad that they MIGHT lose their starting QB…..Theres still a chance that he stays.

NathanH I couldn’t agee more.(as usual). The benchmark for leadership at the QB position is still Craig Morton checking out of the hospital to play a football game! Compare that to Cutler being mentioned in trade talks with a new head coach who doesn’t know him from Adam.

Joe I understand what Pat said, and I also understand that Pat has big bucks on this bet. One of the first things you learn in big business is understatement.

What a disaster. I couldn’t have imagined a worse offseason. I was with Cutler on this debate until this weekend, but now I agree with Richard: Cutler’s done. Do you think McD, in his first year coaching, wants to drag out this circus until training camp? At the end of the day, whether I’m right or wrong, McD will win. As a 32-year old coach, he can’t afford to look weak.

lets make this new transition easy for all of us and trade our jay cutler to the IBBF for the other jay cutler

Joe-

I like the optimism but even me…(deep breath) thinks Jay’s leaving. If there is any truth to this whole situation… which it sounds like there is. It’s probably a 80% chance that Cutler either demanded a new contract or a trade.

If he leaves he’ll commit career suicide and regret it. Plus Brandon will follow. and probably tony.

Miabronco-

I’ll take that. I’m sure he can throw a football (LOL) if he does not pop it when he firsts grabs it……Than I would also like to see anyone call him a whiny bitch….

I would love to have brady Quinn…oh a Fn $240 dollars worth of JAY CUTLER jersey…I want to send him the Bill for those that Jerk.. Not happy right now guys…but nothing is definite till 10:00(ET) well lets cross our fingers….I am officially taking MCD side.. Most of us were broncos fans before Cutler and we Will continue to be Bronco fans after he is gone……no man is bigger than the Broncos…..punching out guys

brandon i doubt will follow, cause i know he has no loyalty to anyone but the almighty dollar and smacking around the ol gf

Sabo you are correct about McD. When Bowlen actually makes a public statement, its THE LAW. Pat is, and has always been, frightened by the press and has remained out of it as is his right to. If anything McD will get a free pass from Bowlen to do what is neccessary. It’s only my opinion, but overall McD has done what he has had to do. Cutler and Crook forced this.

Im dont like the idea of Cutler leaving. But it keeps sounding like it more every day. I softened my thoughts and realized why would we want a quarterback who is so selfish. i mean John Elway was in trade rumors and he didnt go out bitching like a little baby! Jay needs to get over himself. I thought i liked Jay Cutler as a quarterback off the field but sounds like hes worse than philip rivers! if you told me i said that 1 month ago i would have slapt you right across the face. If we get rid of Jay we need to get a high draft pick in return if we did make the trade at least we would have gotten a quarterback who has played in mcd system and won in.

message to Jay_ Stay in denver and potentially win a super bowl or go to detroit and be a back up in 3 years just like your buddies vince young and matt lienert

Joe’s optimism is actually well founded. If only because we won’t get a fair trade for Cutler & he’s a month or so from the draft as well as any mandatory meetings.
It’s looking rough though. I’m getting this sick feeling in my stomach that may last for a few seasons if this goes poorly…
God save the Broncos!

T-Money

Ya man I hope he stays. It would be a drag to see him gone. I know this is more than a one man team, but damn, when he is your favorite player on the team….This is hard. I would always go to DenverBroncos.com after every Sunday game and watch his interviews. He is my favorite player. I just dont know if I could follow the Bronco’s, at least for this season, if he is gone. I think I would just not care anymore…(Man that is EXTREMLY hard to say)

But also, do you think that if he shows up tomorrow, he will stay?

If he shows up tomorrow, I think he will probably stay. Not showing up is the nail in the coffin.

Damn this shit is freaking stupid. I don’t really know if I want to care this much! Do you think Coach, Owner and QB are tripping as much as we are?
They BETTER be!

Jay Cutler has now justified any consideration the Broncos gave when looking at trade scenarios – what McDaniels and the team should do for any player if it makes us better. It is now apparent to me that Cutler and his agent are behind any of the inaccurate information regarding this story. This has been a ploy by Cutler and his agent from the beginning, namely, to seek a new deal or find a way to get out. His immature responses off the field mirror his immature actions on it. He won’t take coaching and he is trying to appear as the innocent victim in all of it. He has 3 options: 1) Stand up like a man and tell us what this is really about (money); 2) Grow up immediately and stay as our QB (Mr. Under .500); or trade his butt for a quality young QB and picks!

Greetings from Texas! Looks like we’re back to square one. He’s not going anywhere… he’ll be there (maybe not the meeting). In order to trade him, you will give up more than Jay and Josh may not like Marshall’s off the field problems, but he can ball. A number one draft pick and Brady Quinn won’t do (I’ve seen it all with the Cowboys). releasing him isn’t an option either-there isn’t anyone to take his place. A good old fashion kick in the rear end always helps- see he loves to play so let him stay angry and make him compete for the job. Just watch that anger manifest to competition and you will get results. Josh will use the contract to his advantage and Jay will have to work or else risk losing his starting job. You guys/gals are not used to such crazy behavior, but COWBOY fans are. I’ve seen this trick before. mcDaniels isn’t crazy, why do you think that agreed to talk at a later time? Stir the pot, get the results. Drag it right into camp and get his blood pumping…McDaniels must have been watching a little Jimmy Johnson stuff!

I think the “Buzz Crook” moniker sums it up. In the latest DP article, “… according to a source close to Cutler, the quarterback didn’t like what he heard” at Monday’s meeting. Now who do YOU think was the source? And “Cutler has insisted that until his situation gets resolved, all conversation with Broncos officials must include Crook”.
Looks like Buzz has convinced Jay that this is his big chance for the record-setting contract, with or without the Broncos. If Jay struggles learning Denver’s new offense this year, goodbye All-Pro status and the leverage that brings. Crook’s history shows that he doesn’t give a sh*t what happens to his client’s team or reputation, just the size of the paycheck. If Jay goes along for the get-rich-now ride, $2 million buys a heck of a mansion in Detroit.

Theres no way Bowlen wants a #1 pick for stafford. Its just not salary cap smart, especially when jays getting paid like 1.5 mill this year. I would be suprised if hes traded. Ok let cutler cry all he wants, but he has to play. If hes got any ballz at all he would accept this whole thing as a challenge. I don’t care if he won’t play for a coach, he needs to play for the Broncos.

Cutler is not Jeff George. Get off the Plummer bandwagon. However, jeff george and jay have one thing in common, good qbs with shitty defenses. I don’t care about jay’s record as a qb. It must be nice (Big Ben) having the number 1 defense in the league. Cutler would have won 2 by now too. Also, its Cutlers 3rd year. Are you going to tell me cutler can’t win the big game? no. I remember someone who was dubbed that they can’t win the big game too, and then he won 2, back to back! Lets lay off the Jeff George stuff its ridiculous.

Nicole Love girls (Pardon Me Madam, LADIES)from Texas (Howareyou) I appreciate your sentiments, but Jays leaving, for two reasons, First, Pat Bowlen is not Jimmy Johnson, (He’s a Canadian via Wisconsin) and he failed to return Pat Bowlen’s phone calls. Mega screw up there. By the way, that kick in the ass is on the way. But it will come, directly. Should he choose NOT to be present Monday Morning, hes gone. No more more BS, no more whining, no more “sources close to the situation” leaks. Unlike Jimmy Johnson,Pat Bowlen isn’t an Arkansas wanabee. ( Texans KNOW the Difference).

lmao! Cutler IS turning into another Jeff George! Both have strong arms, with nothing between their ears!
Cutler is being told by every sports pundit out there, that’s not bus cook, to shut up, man up, and play football to the best of his abilities!
Problem is, he’s got those damn headphones on, and all he’s hearing is bus cook repeating: be a dick….be a dick….be a dick….

I said cutler was a bad choice, and he’s just proving me right.
Anybody that gets tackled by a campus cop, can’t be that good of qb.
lol
Maybe they can trade him for a number one next year, and Xanders can grab Bradford. He’d excel in McD’s scheme!

I don’t know if anybody wants cutler….I mean his talent yes….but your looking at the next TO

There’s a reason Cutler is one of the least liked players in the league.
He’s a dick that thinks he’s bigger than the game.
I think his diabetes was a wakeup call from God, and he’s ignoring it.
Karma has a bad way of sneaking up on you and kicking your arse! He should be careful for what he wishes for.

a breath of fresh air……Dawkins interview http://www.denverbroncos.com/

BroncoinVA9986,
in case you didn’t notice, TO wasn’t unemployed for a week….and ended up getting a raise out of his ‘firing’.

Teams always think they “can change” problem childs. How many times did Shanny think that…..and lose? Too many to count.

rcsodak Cutler wasn’t a bad choice, he will be worth a first AND a player. Othe than that, you’re correct.

rcsodak very true but many teams won`t take a chance a problem players…steelers, colts successful franchises true winners don`t deal with problem players….Randy Moss is a rare occurrence..Loser franchises adopt loser attitude players…

The reports from CBS4 is that Cutler wants a trade…..http://cbs4denver.com/broncos/cutler.nfl.broncos.2.958850.html

Of course it isn`t ADAM or Jay glasier…but

Fresh from cbs4denver.com: “CBS4 has learned that disgruntled Broncos quarterback Jay Cutler is no longer in Denver and is done negotiating with the team. Cutler will not be attending Monday’s voluntary team workout. Sources tell CBS4 he has told the Broncos to trade him.”

Buzz Crook will get Cutler what he wants. BIG CONTRACTS. What Buzz won’t be able to get Cutler is Divisional Championships, AFC(NFC) championships, or Superbowl Championships. Those require a team orientation and commitment. Neither of those things are cosistant with playing the system and extracting the best contract possible from the current CHUMP team owner.

Amen richard

Most seem to think that Brady Quinn is our best option. I wonder what would it take to get him? If detroit is still the highest bidder i wonder if we could take their draft picks and then turn around and offer cleveland a 2nd rd for Quinn? I know Cleveland picked up Derek Andersons 5mil roster bonus so they are not sold on Quinn. Quinn is no cutler but he could be a good system QB which is what McD is looking for… Quinn could be the next cassel that fits in his system. I think McD thinks he can plug in QB’s like shanny thought he could plug in RB’s. Im not happy but apart of me is just excited to get this saga over with no matter what the end result.

Jay knows that he could have a shit season for McD and does not want to take a chance on losing out on a big payday…so he and his agent are basically dickhead morons pissing in their lunch box, which only gets you a salty and wet sandwich. So good luck with the label of most selfish QB ever…no wonder the Broncos have sucked it up since cuty has been here.

Wow- who the hell would have thought a month ago that we’d be discussing something this big? The last time I felt this way, I was watching the NFL Network report that Mike Shanahan had been fired.

But this is a different feeling. When (or if) we ever find out the truth in this whole deal, Jay Cutler will go deaf hearing the boos when he returns to Denver, wherever the hell he ends up.

Incidentally, NFL Network is running a NFL Replay of the Chargers game at Invesco from last September right now. They keep showing the sidelines with Shanahan, Cutler leading the Broncos.

What has happened to our team? Good luck McD- you wanted control, you got it. Now go win us a damn super bowl. Anything short of that in the next two years will make me wonder about his hiring.

But what the hell do I know?

Incidentally parents of up and coming football players-

If you want your good, decent children to be rich, hated and abhorred by people from all walks of life, hire Bus Cook as their agent.

There’s a special suite in the top floor of a hotel in hell for that man. He makes Drew Rosenhaus look like a patron saint.

broncoNM Brady Quinn is a possibility because he played under Charlie Weis at Notre Dame. Charlie being the OC for NE before McD. Remember Brady was a 6th round choice from Michigan, and Cassell a 7th from USC. Surprises are in store for us.

P.S. What in the hell is Sheffler thinking? What possible leverage could he possibly have? What a dolt?(not to be confused with those fellows from San Die-ego)

Whidbey Bronco

I have no crow for you, we had a difference of opinion and that was it. It’s funny I have no more anger at this situation anymore, just peace… peace knowing Cutler will soon not be a bronco. For the record I still support McD and I believe Cutler has made a mistake listening to his agent.

Once again Jay Cutler is not bigger than the Broncos … we will be fine.

I hope you’re right Dee cuz I’ll still bleed Orange & Blue No Matter What

Also Scheff is not showing up either? lol … my opinion on that is , whoever does not want to buy into the plan can get out. We tried following Shannys vision and it didnt work… I’m giving McD a chance. Everyone that isnt on board will get moved … People can swear, yell and pout McD isnt going anywhere.

WhidbeyBronoco

Its going to be alright… McDaniels is a smart guy, if we trade Cutler we will get value back … I think Cutler just wanted out because the new front office isnt going to pamper him anymore. Plus we didnt give him a new contract to “show” him our faith in him, Cutler needed the broncos more than we need him.

two things
Shanny won two rings…. er IT DID WORK!
Cutler will get his money elsewhere. I was hoping he needed us to win but how can we win with bs management like this who will play their heart out for this guy?

WB

He hasnt worked for the last 10 years, and I was against firing Shanny but there were alot more Shanny haters back then, I think the haters have no become shanny supporters…which doesnt surprise me.

AND MARK MY WORDS

the same people that hate McD now … will love him at the end of the season.

Also if Jay Cutler leaves, thats fine…. but know this Jay Cutler will never win a Superbowl … so his loss doesn’t really affect me. Ok I’m done.

I posted this blog a week ago . . . and my worst fear is becoming more real . . .

“There is the possibility that Jay Cutler decided in his heart that he no longer wanted to be part of the Bronco organization when Shannahan was fired . . . period.

He was extremely unhappy with Pat Bowlen and felt betrayed that this man could have fired his coach . . .

He did not know McD or Xanders at the time . . . and it didn’t matter . . . after they came on the scene . . . his decision clarified . . .

He has not answered Pat Bowlen’s phone calls for one reason . . . he does not like Pat Bowlen and no longer wants to work for the man.”

In two different blogs . . . I also intimated that Jay will end up in Tampa Bay . . . which is were Bus Cook wanted him in the first place . . . and probably would have gone down . . . if Belichick hadn’t decided to twist the stiletto in McD’s back and trade Cassel to K.C. . . . leaving the Broncos to take it on the face . . . and Jay still not wanting to play for Pat Bowlen . . . regardless who the coach was . . .

i guess I’m just a little numb to all this now. We’ve all been screaming about needing Bowlen to speak up and squash this situation, and I guess he has but not in the result we wanted. Obviously Cutler wants out, his hearts not in it anymore (or atleast in Denver), and obviously things can only get worse. A trade, sure, just banish him to Detroit and see how he likes being sacked 50+ a year. Give me your #1, and #3. It just seems like there was something unsaid blocking any chance of reconciliation. Obviously, this is a business but this got way too personal. Time for the re-building process. The main problem here is that this is a business and people lie all the time, if McD tells Cutler that we didn’t initiate trade talks then that’s all Cutler has to work on. He took this too personal but this is a direct quote from Cutler on the last meeting:

“He admitted he wanted Matt Cassel because he said he has raised him up from the ground as a quarterback. He said he wasn’t sorry about it. He made it clear that he could still entertain trading me because, as he put it, he’ll do whatever he feels is in the best interest of the organization.”

WTF?!?!? Is this how you win back the trust and repair the relationship of your 25 YR OLD PRO BOWL QUARTERBACK? Could Cutler be lying with this quote, for some reason I doubt it as he went public with this quickly. Sorry guys, as much as Cutler has acted like a child in this, I’m pinning this on McAsshole. Where is the equal value in entertaining a trade for Cutler? This is about ego folks, nothing more and nothing less. Unless Tom Brady, Philip Rivers (ugh, I have to puke when writing that), Drew Brees, or Peyton Manning is coming back on the other end of a trade, how could this not be a step back for the offense?

Hell, there still always a chance that this could work out (10% chance), but if you were your company’s A1 top employee, and you were having productive meetings with your new boss, then in one weekend everything looked like he went behind your back to replace you with an inferior alternative, would you be pissed? We’re only human, so is Cutler, and for that, I’m siding with him here. Just happy I held off buying that authentic #6 jersey. Welcome to mediocrity Bronco fans. And please no one scream for Bowlen to fire McA-hole, its just not going to happen, he is going to get the minimum of two years to try and make this work, and Bowlen would be a laughing stock if he fired McD right now. Don’t expect ownership to side with players over their handpicked head coaches, it just doesn’t work that way even if the HC looks like he has no clue what he’s doing.

I’m spent – here we come 7-9!!!!

I AM VERY UPSET!!! This is complete CRAP!!!! I hate this new coach already!!!! I liked him at first but this did it for me, I dont know if I can be a dedicated Bronco fan after I see what this dumb ass of a new coach is doing!!! I love the Broncos but this new coach needs to back off a little. I am totally surprised Bowlen hasnt stepped in and stopped this bull shit!!!! If McDaniels reads this THE WHOLE STATE AND ALL DEDICATED BRONCO FANS NEED A PERSONAL APOLIGY!!!!!

Kristen if you happen to read this…an employee needs to get on board no matter what (unless it is unethical) baby Jay is under contract, buck up and play. I do not think this is McD’s fault at all; cuty choose this path from the time McD got hired and cuty has caused all this drama.

This situation reeks! If you ask me, any player who’s been through everything a starting quarterback in the NFL must go through, and still has that whiners DNA that Cuttles has, isn’t cut out for the position or the league either one! Sure, he’s got a great arm. But so does every other guy at that position. It really comes down to who you’ve got around you. Anybody else starting to think that maybe P Rivers had Cuttle-me figured out from the start? This is bad for Bronco football. Bad for Denver, and bad for Denver fans. The benchmarks been set really high here in Denver. Morton, Elway, even Plummer…they all played hard, but they also played….with heart! They loved Denver, and NEVER disrespected the fans, or it’s coaches. This dispute all comes down to the almighty dollar….and I for one would have played this game in Denver, for FREE! Given the chance. Let him go….we’re better off in the long run. Brady, Anderson, Simms, Clemmens, who knows? We’d be better off with any of them after this cancer. Winning isn’t about Quarterbacks, it’s about team, and about team play. Offense, Defense, Special Teams, Coaches, and oh yeah! TRADITION> Cuttles was never a true Denver Icon. Elway hangs his head in shame for the way this guy has treated us all. I for one, pray every day for one more seasons worth of miracle from greatest player ever, and the greatest leader ever. We miss ya John!
