Cutler May Want a Trade

Posted Sat Feb 28th by

According to ESPN’s Bill Williamson, Jay Cutler is so angry at Josh McDaniels and Brian Xanders that he wants out of Denver. The trade talks have allegedly ruined his trust in them. Personally, I’m highly disappointed in Jay Cutler, this is not the action of a team leader. Only hours after the trade talk craze and he wants out just like that.

“The relationship has been tarnished,” the source said. “I think it’s beyond repair.

“It’s like a knife to Jay’s heart,” the source said. “It will be hard for him to get past this.”

McDaniels certainly has his hands full with this one. This is certainly a disappointing day for all Denver fans. Could Jay Cutler really don another jersey in 2009? It’s highly unlikely due to the lack of quality QBs available. In an attempt to put any more personal bias out of this story I’ll just leave the link to his article.

    waiting on an adam schefter report

  • http://merlinofchaos.livejournal.com E. Halsey Miles

    In years of watching football, one thing I’ve learned.

    When different reporters say different things, Schefter is 99.99% of the time closest to the truth. I don’t know what the guy does to get his information, but he is plugged in and he knows everyone and everyone trusts him. Everyone else hears something and makes stuff up as they go, and it seems like it almost always pans out this way.

    As usual, I am going to reserve judgment on this situation until the sparks quit flying, but initially I will believe Schefter until someone’s actions prove otherwise.

  • http://merlinofchaos.livejournal.com E. Halsey Miles

    If Cutler is not traded, and he stays with the Broncos, can his situation be mended? Cutler took a long pause before answering.

    “Anything can be mended,” he said. “I’ll always play with the guys we’ve got. I love playing for those guys. Obviously, Josh and I’s relationship has taken a few steps backward. I don’t play for the coaches anyway, I play for teammates. As long as we keep the guys we’ve got I’ll go out there and play. I love those guys.”

    From a denver post article.

  • champ2203

    Everyone keeps saying don’t buy into the media, and it’s not that big a deal, because the trade didn’t go through with Cassel and Cutler is still in Denver. Well to everyone that said those things what do you think now? I’m so pissed off right now and I’m sure I’m not the only broncos fan that is. Cutlers not the only one who lost confidence in Josh McDICKnals. Don’t be dissapointed in Jay for being angry about this. He has every right to be.

  • CJ

    I agree cbs4 and many other sites said Brian Dawkins had a 2 year deal and all this stuff i think there just causing drama. I believe Josh Mcdanials is smart enough to talk this all over with Jay and tell him teams contacted them looking for the trade just like schefter said. I wont believe that jay wants out untill schefter says so.

  • kerry

    McDaniels should be fired tonight!! Bowlen go have him pack his desk and hand the reigns over to Nolan or Dennison. this hack has already screwed up this franchise. go read the Denver post article everybody. MCDaniels was trying to do the Cassel deal without infoming Cutler or his agent Bus Cook. Mcdaniels was trying to do some sneaky behind the scenes stuff that Xanders wasnt aware of. McDaniels you already have torched the bridge with you and Cutler. go to KC with your little lover Cassel and you daddy Pioli. stupid New England hack!!

  • Jon Krause

    no no no NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

  • steve

    huge mistake mcdaniels!! wtf were you thinking, shopping around our best player for a glorified backup. Ridiculous. Cutler is the truth and the future of this team. McD should publicly apologize for shopping cut around, and also explicitly say that now way he will be traded.

    Our entire team and system is built around jay cutler, and should center around him for a long time. No coach or other player is as important to this team.

  • BroncosTrevizo

    Yes please! Jay Cutler are suck! He not good player…

  • http://broncomadness.com Garrett Barnes

    Now none of this would have happened had we kept Shanahan. But I am not going to go into that or else kerry might have a breakdown. This was the biggest mistake McD could have ever made and I am really pissed off at him. I think we give Rick Dennison the reigns and fire McD now. Oh and hire back Jeremy Bates to bribe Cutler to stay. I can’t believe I am already done with McD. But that is how it goes.

  • Patrick

    Oh my gosh this is horrible if Mcdaniels shops around for Cutler. Cutler is the future face of this franchise and if we get rid off team this team is gonna go down the drain.

  • http://broncomadness.com Garrett Barnes

    BroncosTrervizo, what are you smoking as u write that?

  • http://broncomadness.com Garrett Barnes

    oh and kerry just out of curiosity who would u rather have right now, McD or Shanahan???

  • kerry

    wow. i reported this very story over an hour ago on this site and all of you told me to calm down and that i was crazy and i was wrong and not speaking in reality. WELL WHO IS RIGHT NOW!!!!!! HUH??!!

  • Roy

    I love how everyone starts screaming without reading an article, or taking the time to digest what they’ve read. I am sure that lots of teams get offers for lots of their players. Everyone has a price, and other teams are going to search for it, especially if they covet the player. The current regime has already said they do nt want to trade him, how much more do people want? Keep in mind, many of the people bitching about this are the same ones that consistantly cursed Cutler after our late season losses. No one can please these people. It is so damn funny reading all of this…

  • kerry

    Garrett:

    i knew somebody would ask me that eventually. and right now i dont want either. id rather that Dennison was promoted. lol. i dont even wanna think about this. im tired of all this non sense from this team. Shanahan cant build a defense, McDaniels is a snake and tried to trade the franchise QB without telling anyone. Bowlen is probably too drunk to intervene.

  • http://brocotalk.net (dee)

    I think they need to have a press conference and have all the parties kiss and make up … Shanahan would not have let any of this garbage leak into the media. McD will learn .. Cutler needs to suck it up and he does have the option to leave at the end of his contract … But we need to have a press conference .. oh and by the way this is not the way the Patriots do business.

  • http://broncomadness.com Garrett Barnes

    hahaha. i am with you on this one kerry. McD needs to leave now. Dennison was considered for the coaching job in first place so give him the reigns as an interim and in the meantime set our eyes out for a coach like gruden, dungy, holmgren, or cowher.

  • http://brocotalk.net (dee)

    They can’t get rid of Mcdaniels, hes the reason several of the free agents have signed in Denver. Look they need to get back on the same page , I have Cutler’s PMSing … god if he wants McD to suck his **** and say sorry why not just come out and say it , instead of this other bull****. What the broncos did was look over an offer made to them and as per Schfter they refused. This will blow over, but first they need to have a press conference with all parties concerned…. the CURSE OF SHANAHAN begins …

  • http://brocotalk.net (dee)

    Cbs4Denver still is saying that Denver is actively shopping Cutler, nice to know they’re on the ball with things

  • http://brocotalk.net (dee)

    Is it me , or are the Denver Broncos becoming somewhat of a laughing stock ? First the San Deigo beatings …. Phillips laughing his way past us , then we get rid of the greatest coach Denver has ever had, and now this …. kinda pathetic if you ask me … I hope Shanahan coaches Dallas so I can cheer for them

  • stav

    Stupid, stupid, stupid – if Denver initiated the trade talks. Mr. Bowlen, can you say “re-negotiate?”, because now you need to lock up Cutler with good old fashioned multi-million dollars within the next season to #1 “show him he’s the man” as you said, and #2 he’ll be offered quite the contract when he’s a RFA in two years if this isn’t smoothed over asap. I just can’t say how idiotic this is if Denver opened up these talks, can’t be mad if they were proposed this by another team, but this needs to be clarified. I can only agree on Schefter, what he reports is 9 out of 10 times the real story. McD can’t be sooooo stupid to actually believe Cassel is better than Cutler? My wife hates football but is forced to watch Denver games and she was even shocked by this saying why would they even think to do something like this…..guys, my wife knows NOTHING about football and she even thought this was ridiculous if the Broncos actually initiated. Please Footballs Gods in Heaven, please let Schefter be right and that we are not the Donkeys that every Raider and Charger fans calls, please let the only team I’ve rooted, died, and celebrated with not be soooo moronic to try and make such a move. If Denver did initiate, which means McMoron wanted this, then this is true Belichek pedigree – arrogance at its best, without a running game the offense was #2 I believe? Why would we want to break up that chemistry? And please no one bring up the punk/immature Cutler talk, old #7 was quite the punk too when he first showed up.

  • CJ

    All of you guys need to watch the video on cbs4 website it made me feel alot better that jay can forgive mcd

  • Anthony33

    I am as pissed off as anyone, but starting to calm down and take a wait and see attitude until all the dust settles and the truth comes out. Look at the rants and confusion this moring surrounding Dawkins because some numskull reporter jumped the gun.

    I am really hoping it was the Broncos who were contacted and not McD going behind the back of the entire organization. If so, like I stated in the previous string, he should be fired tonight and replaced by Nolan. Dennison is very capable with the offense and perhaps we could lure Bates back from So Cal.

    This is FUBR if McD did what is being reported.

    Come on Adam, give us the real skinny.

  • http://brocotalk.net (dee)

    Maybe Jay will use this as motivation? Maybe this is the kick in the ass he needs ? … I hope so … he can be a little prick sometimes .. NO ONE IS BIGGER THAN THE DENVER BRONCOS! Not MCD or Cutler …. BOWLEN will handle this

  • NathanH

    I’m hoping so dee. And I do agree that Bowlen will handle it.

    Cutler better not being going anywhere.

  • champ2203

    comment number 3 shows a quote from Cutler saying about the relationship being mended. click the link he provided and read the last thing cutler says. Not good. They f”d with him and other players on the team don’t like it either. They best fix this now or we’re going to be watching our back-up QB from last year starting. Who was that again? no not ramsey whose a free agent and got hurt. Who was it again? Oh thats right no one has a clue who it was. I dare anyone to be able to name him without doing some research. There is no one else. Get Jay’s mind right and clear this all up.

  • DepressedSF

    It hasn’t been said enough… WTF is McDaniels thinking? He’s 32 years old, he gets his first head coaching job, and the first thing he does is piss off the entire fan base.

  • Bronco Buster

    I can only laugh that the new coach hasn’t had this team on the field yet and already he could have screwed this town over. What happened to having Cutler be the next big thing in Denver. And what the heck is going on picking up two lame runnings backs when “the coach” wants more to do with defense. Derrick Ward, sure, if we can get him at a good price. But a guy with bad knees and another that was third on the depth chart in Arizona. Good luck to a football team that won’t hit 8-8 next year at least. Bet you all are wishing Shanny was still here now. Suckers.

  • AHNOLD

    CHECK OUT THE CBS4 WEBSITE. THEY WERE NOT EXAGGERATING. CUTLER SAYS SO HIMSELF.

  • NathanH

    This isnt even McDaniels doing. Lombardi opened up a bs can of worms, Jay heard about it and like any of us would, got pissed. A BS source “close” to Jay said some BS quotes, and now this thing is being blown out of proportion.

    It’ll all blow over by the end of the weekend. Bowlen is to smart and involved of an owner to let this go on.

  • T-Money

    I agree with MikeY55

  • BroncoinVA9986

    yes I am waiting for Adam Schefter to report…..but if this is true I do believe that their may be a meeting going on between bowlen and Xanders and Mcdaniels……not a good one…Jay Cutler is the reason we won eight games last year…we could have easily been 5-11…I thought the person they were going to shop was Champ Bailey not Jay Cutler…..

  • DepressedSF

    McDaniels could be the first coach in history that all the fans want to fire before he’s even lost a single game.

    It reminds me of the Iraq situation. Getting rid of Saddam was fine, but getting rid of anything and everything associated with Saddam is what screwed everything up. McD’s removing all evidence of the previous regime could end in disaster.

  • http://myspace.com/paraleipsis jchase8410

    Darryl hackney was the 3rd string QB behind Ramsey….never challenge me! I think this will blow over, but I’m still pissed that this happened…inexperience at it’s finest

  • CJ

    absolutely shop champ around Cutler threw for over 4500 yards! MORE THAN ELWAY HAS EVER DONE! do you think denver should trade a guy in the same sentence as elway. If we dont see mcd tomorow kissing some serious ass! then he is dumb.

  • http://www.dbaumgartner.com daveb

    Cutler needs to GROW UP…I love his potential, but he is such a baby. How about being a leader instead of a whiner? This probably hasn’t been handled well by either side of the situation, but Cutler is paid big money to lead this team (on and off the field) and I have yet to see that happen. Maybe we should let him go.

  • BroncoinVA9986

    CJ has a very very good point
    more yards in one season than elway ever had……I bet you McDaniels would trade him

  • Craig

    Anybody can offer trades to the Broncos, just because they entertained the trade does not mean they were trying to trade him.

  • T-Money

    daveb-

    “Cutler needs to GROW UP…Cutler is paid big money to lead this team (on and off the field)”

    you mean the team that almost just stabbed him in the back right? Or the team that, for whatever reason, threw his name out there for a trade even though he’s your 4th year QB, and turning into the face of the franchise?

    That wouldn’t piss you off at all? That wouldn’t make you feel like you mean nothing to the team? That you are being replaced by a lesser quality?

    He has every right to be hurt,angry, and annoyed. To me it seemed like he sounded betrayed and shell shocked but accepting that if that’s the team wanted to go the “so be it”.

    That’s anything but immaturity.

  • denverfanfromdetroit

    fire mcdaniels jay cutler is the second coming of john and he has the ordasity to disrespect him for matt idiot cassel! someone explain why shanahan is not the coach this is proof that mcdaniels hasn’t a clue on how to evaluate talent or people. I blead blue and orange and if cutler is traded you trade me as a fan, on a day i which we get brian dawkins that is being over shadowed by something this dum bowlen you are directly resposible for every stupid thing this new coach does. You need to pay close attention to the sneeky underhandedness.

  • http://www.dbaumgartner.com daveb

    T-Money

    Stabbed hi in the back by doing what…their jobs?!? They didn’t trade him, but everyone (including him) acts like they did.

    And it would piss me off but I would act like a grown up about it instead of pissing and moaning all over the media. Pick up a phone and call someone instead of acting like a 4 year old. He wasn’t traded but everyone acts like he was. So what if they talked about a trade.

    That’s not anything BUT immaturity…it is the very definition of immaturity…acting like his little feelings got hurt. My kids would react better than him.

    And I own his jersy and love him being our QB. But he needs to grow up and start acting like a leader.

  • shanarat

    You guys are all acting like they wanted to trade Elway. I’m dying over here.

  • Broncoholic

    Everyone needs to calm down on this one. Out of all that I’ve read here’s a quote that makes the most sense of this story:

    “This story isn’t going to die anytime soon though no one seems to mention that the other two teams that would have been involved in a 3-team deal – New England and Tampa – would have jumped at the details as we know them.

    Tampa would have taken Cutler in a heartbeat and New England ended up getting only a 2nd rounder for Cassel. Why turn down the #19 pick? Or the #12 pick?

    It doesn’t make sense. The only team that would have said no was the Broncos, and they did. Did they answer the phone? Sure. Did it go any further? Not a chance.

    Oh, one more thing, the “source close to the Broncos” that keeps informing the “Broncos Insiders” at the various news outlets needs to seriously shut the hell up!”

  • shanarat

    McCoach is gonna help up win more than 8 games this year. If that takes trading Cutler, I’m all for it.

  • HottNikks

    Hey Garrett- Shanahan sucked butt and his firing was long over due…it wasn’t Shanahan that won those two super bowls it was Elway…look at what Shanahan did after Elway-jack shit! And Dennison is nothing more than a dingle berry hangin from Shanny’s ass!

  • dr.gonzo

    It’s ok everyone! Kurt Warner is still a free agent. problem solved hahahahhaah

  • shanarat

    I mean, we lost to the Raiders last year and if it wasn’t for that whole field goal thing we would be 1-3 in the last two years against them. Something has got to happen.

  • CJ

    I no were over reacting but when guys say they personally would rather find another qb that makes absolutely no sense because there isnt anybody you could possibly find in the draft or in the league that is better and if you did the franchise wouldnt trade them to denver. It makes complete sense to keep Jay. Why would you get rid of a pro bowler with a bright future for the risk of the #1 Pick or what ever detroit was going to deal being a bust wich is greater possibility than cutler going on to 9 more pro bowls and who nos how many super bowl victories.

  • dbroncos

    I will be extremely pissed if we trade him and dont get a crap load of draft picks and player in exchange. Obviously no one is “untradeable” but Cutler is as close to that as you get i think.
