Jay Cutler Traded to Bears

Posted Thu Apr 2nd by

The Denver Broncos have agreed to trade Jay Cutler to the Chicago Bears.

In return, the Broncos acquired quarterback Kyle Orton, two first-round draft picks (18th overall in 2009 and their 2010 first round pick), and a third-round pick. The Broncos also included a fifth-round pick in the deal.

    All you cutler haters out there, are you happy with the trade?

  • Broncosfan4life

    Well, as Bronco fans, I’m sure we’re all crying in our microbrews or at least scratching our heads in disbelief about now.
    One thing’s for sure, we got a good look at Cutler’s true colors, and as Horvil might say-“Hey guy, it not prettys”.
    Let’s keep our fingers crossed that Mc D can build a Cassel out of Orton.

  • robtink242

    i would rather Cris Simms start over Orton. no comment on the trade. move forward. but hey Chi-town would big this is there new Mike Jordan. i’m pretty sure we’ll be getting a QB next year.

  • jcampb72

    Just think, we could have got matt cassel, but now we get kyle orton, who I think is as good or better than cassel, and 2 1st rounders and a 3rd. I think we did alright.

    ATTENTION ALL YOU BRONCO BASHERS!!!!!!!!!! ITS TIME TO FOCUS ON THE FUTURE…..WE ALL HAVE TO WAIT AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS. If our defense is ranked in the top 15 teams, with the offense that we will have, we just might surprise a lot of teams. I bet Cutler doesnt make the pro bowl next year.

    tryon- under shannahan we were a ‘gunslinger’ team…. for better or worse he got shown the door. and for better or worse, we brought in mcd… who has a game maanagement mentality/system. our identity is changing as a team. cant say i like it that much either, but it is the reality of the situation.

    we can sit here and bitch about how much we hate it, but the trade happened. if you are not going to root for the broncos, then thats fine. as gene hackman said in hoosiers ‘i’d hope that you’d support who we are, not who we are not’.

  • Mike4Denver

    Buh-Bye Crybaby Cutler. I wouldn’t be surprised if Denver sends the Bear’s 2010 1st round draft pick and Kyle Orton to the Browns for Brady Quinn in a matter of days. Let’s think about this, we’re not shocked about losing Cutler but, Mc Daniels has a lot to prove. Why would he trade a franchise QB for a backup QB. There has to be something else to this decision. This trade makes no sense AT ALL!! You are not just going to trade a Pro Bowl QB for a nobody and not have a underlying reason for it. I think in the end, this will benefit Denver. GO BRONCOS!!!!!!

  • champ2203

    First off Kerry people are always busting on you for your comments because you say how you feel when you’re pissed off and I find myself agreeing with almost everything you say. I feel the exact same way dude. Not just on this post.
    All I keep hearing about is draft picks, draft picks, draft picks. We traded a ridiculously talented QB for a backup at best and draft picks. Has anyone ever heard of Ryan Leaf? Draft picks don’t mean shit, especially when you have no common sense Josh. Anyway let’s get Orton a flannel shirt and a number 16 jersey to go with his beard and we have Plummer back. This trade was a joke. Anyone that thinks otherwise must be smoking the same shit as Raji.

    Champ, get over it, Cutler didn’t have any leadership ability, talent is nothing without the right head on your shoulders.

    See- Jeff George.

  • broncosfanfl

    Alright flbroncos I do agree with you And I’m Always a broncosfan in Florida

  • champ2203

    Troyn
    you’re the man. agreed 100% especially your last sentence.

  • champ2203

    the jeff george comparisons are trash
    try again

  • robtink242

    obviously they full intentions of drafting a QB. lets trade Chicago number 1 for Brady Quinn or we better be drafting Pat White with Chicago’s 3rd or Shonn Greene.

  • BroncoinVA9986

    this feels like dumping your serious girlfriend and realizing you miss her….i don’t know feels like a kick in the Nutsack to me

  • BroncoinVA9986

    shawn greene

  • broncobobmeridian

    I love the trade, but I worried wearing an Orton jersey…Just the name Orton doesnt sound good.

  • champ2203

    I don’t know if I can come on this site anymore now its gotten so bad that people are talking about drafting pat white.

  • http://broncotalk.net (dee)

    This trade needed to happen because Cutler wasnt going to work with McD. If the Bears miss the playoffs in 2009 the trade is a failure for them, how many of you believe they will make the playoffs this year? Have you seen their offense? Their Line, their WR’s ?

    Prediction:

    The Denver Broncos will have a BETTER record than the Bears.

    broncoinva- loved the comparison!!!

    sometimes though, you dump her, bang a couple of chicks for a year or so and find someone better to marry…. you never know.

  • robtink242

    whoa I’m a bronco fan in the Bahamas surrounded by Cowboys, Dolphins and Steelers. I’ll never switch teams. thats not cool but i dont have to like the direction i see the team headed.

  • Mike4Denver

    Dee –
    This trade did need to happen, one for the simple fact that Cutler asked for it and then when Bowlen said he was trading him, Cutler changed his tune and said he didn’t want to be traded. Maybe Chicago will have a diaper big enough for him and enough tissues for his tears. He is a big baby.

  • BroncBo

    Jay Cutler was exactly what the Broncos needed… A face that we could be proud to call our own. Now the closest thing we have to that is Ryan Clady. I hate this move. This is a QB’s league. Look at recent Super Bowl winners. All had franchise QBs: Roethlis, the Manning Bros and Tom Brady. At 25 Cutler was already a franchise QB. Orton will never be a franchise QB. I hope Shanny and Cutler get reunited in Chi town. When we finish 4th in the AFC west next year McD will be run out of town fast than you can say Mike Shanahan.

  • http://broncotalk.net (dee)

    Come on Mike, Cutler did not change his mind. He’s trying to save face… if he really did change his mind why didnt his agent convey that to Pat Bowlen…. The whole ” I want to stay, I love Denver” is trying to save face for the fans …. its over he’s gone, and I am glad this episode is over.

    I believe in this team and still believe in McD … can we let him coach a game before destroying him. We need to now stop going back to Cutler … its over .. he’s gone , lets move forward….

  • juice

    Ok, first i’ll eat crow: I said I thought it would be Cutler for McNabb, I was wrong.

    Second: I’m glad its over with – getting a 3rd round pick is actually good value – Bronco fans are just not used to that because Shanny couldn’t draft.

    Lastly, this is what I would do: Sit on pick 12 this year, if Raji falls (he may, he got busted for drugs in his system at the combine) – take him – if Sanchez or Stafford falls – take him. Take a QB that falls to us (even if its the 2nd or 3rd round… And if no rookie QB falls to us – then next year trade the two pics into the top 5 and get McCoy or Bradford or whoever else emerges…

  • Mike4Denver

    Dee-
    If you didn’t want to be traded, why ask for it. McDaniels has gotten a lot of grief already and I agree with you, let’s move forward. Let McDaniels prove what he can really do for the Broncos. I don’t think Pat Bowlen would have hired him if he didn’t see potential in him. Let the man run his team…thats what he was hired for.

  • Awesome, Austin

    Not too bad of deal for the broncos, the baby is in the NFC too, so that is good. IF ANY thing though having a great QB proves that it does nothing for winning championships. Got to have D and that is where the B’s are headed with this draft/trade.

  • broncos4life

    How can one guy screw up one team so bad, so quick!? Unbelievable, Pat Bowlen and Josh McDaniels, aren’t those the two guys on dumb and dumber? Way to take a proven loser from a team that never really believed in him either. Hence that is why we got him and 2 1st rounders. Do all you guys really think that he is that good, comparing his win loss to Cutler. Give me a freakin break. How many games did I watch last year where the Bears D and special teams 14 or more and you’re going to tell me that Orton won those games. Gimme a freakin break! These two idiots have set this franchise back for a while. While it may be a defense that gets you to the playoffs, you gotta have some offense to win the big one. How many Superbowls did the Orange Cruch D win? It wasn’t until you got Elway and T.D. there that we were able to get the big one done. Orton is a proven loser and this new coach hire will prove far worse than the Wade Phillips era. Thank you Pat and Josh! IDIOTS!

  • BroncBo

    dee sounds like mccain with all this lets look forward not back talk. McD is single handedly destroyting the most promising team in the league. It is no simple move. We wont have another quarterback like Cutler for years.

  • http://www.kellyleephipps.com Kelly in Carolina

    I’ll enjoy watching Cutler play for the Bears, and I’m happy we got the draft picks…although I wanted Quinn..but hey who knows what might happen next!

    I’m excited about watching the Broncos Defense finally stop some people next year, and glad I won’t have to watch Cutler sulk on the sidelines anymore, at least not in Orange & Blue!

    I went to NFL.com and watched footage of Kyle Orton uner the teams link in the Bears, and hey, he looks pretty good. He was hitting receivers left and right, bad receivers. He does look sorta Plummer Cave-manish…but hey, PLummer got us into the Playoffs and beat the Patriots, so what will this guy do!

    Can’t wait to see how they round out the team in the draft!

  • broncos4life

    Come on people, wake up! Stand up for your selves and the Broncos. Trade him that is fine, but Orton? PLEASE FOR GOD’S SAKE WAKE UP!

  • OC Bronco

    We got a QB from the team with the absolute worst QB troubles in the game the past 5 years. Are the Bears better today? HELL YES!

    We got draft picks. Kids that haven’t played a down of football in the NFL and may have multi-million dollar bust all over them. Are we better today? HELL NO!

    I am not the biggest Cutler fan but he is an obvious talent and no doubt one of the top 10 QB’s in this league….. at 25 yrs old. He would grow up which is what he needs to do. We are in every game with him whether he loses it for us or not with a pick.

    How could Bowlen let this shit happen? Seriously. HOW?!?!?

    This is not good people. The best we can hope for…. Cutler sucks in Chicago with a bad supporting cast and no Shanahan. Of course, the windy city is already talking about hiring Shanny next year. But if Cutler is solid, I will hate every Sunday for now until he retires.

    I am sick to my stomach.

    “best deal they could have gotten”

    I’m done on this issue…. lets move to the draft now.

  • jcampb72

    Moving on…..12th I doubt we take sanchez. In recent years the Pats have taken a late round QB. I think, since B.J. failed a drug test, B.J. will fall to us. So B.J. at 12, then I would love to see moreno at 18 or Malcom Jenkins. Maybe even Rey M. or Tyson J. if their on the board.

  • kerry

    MeyerOO:

    oh no. dont tell the board administrater i used naughty language! did that upset you?? did that hurt your feelings? are you as hurt as Jay Cutler?? are you gonna demand a trade from this site to the Raiders site now? if so please do immediately! i dont give a good god damn if you tell the board administrator. go ahead. better turn in half the people on here too snitch.

    hey some moron is using my name is using my name and putting an “S” next to it. get your own damn handle you fucking phony!! dont use my name.

  • kerry

    Champ2203:

    careful. dont agree with me too much or people will say you arent a bronco fan and they will report you to the board admin if you say naughty words. yes this is a terrible deal. a horrible deal. draft picks dont mean shit. we dumped a pro bowl QB for a backup and draft picks. if we could have gotten Brian Urlacher instead of Kyle Orton then it would have softened the blow a little. if Raji and Tyson Jackson are drafted then thats a start.

  • Anthony33

    What’s done is done.

    Stick with Orton for this year and use the leverage of 2 picks next year to get one of the four QB’s coming out in 2010.

    Maybe they can package #12 and their 2nd round pick to move up and get Curry. Not sure how all that vlaue stuff works, but Curry is the best rated defensive player in the draft. Raji might fall to 18 with the stuff that came out on him. Curry and Raji…cool if they could pull it off.

  • Anthony33

    oops ‘value’

  • broncoNM

    This is the best value we could have gotten…We knew cutler was out the door. We have 4 first round draft picks in the next 2 years. I obviously dont think Orton is the answer but i dont see the broncos drafting sanchez or freeman. We might grab a QB in the mid rounds. My guess is that we will have Orton and Simms battle it out for the top spot. Next season is going to suck and it could take us 3-5 yrs to rebuild…but if we draft wisely the next 2 yrs we could be in the playoffs quicker than expected. You build a great team through the draft and thats what the broncos have to do now. McD’s system does not require a rocket arm stud QB…This is the best deal we could have gotten. We know when Bowlen announced that he would be traded that cutler would not be here. We have a shot now to overhaul our old, rundown defense.

    Side note- Cutler will do ok in chi…but it wont be as easy. He has no WR’s and the NFC north has some decent defenses he will face. He wont have our young Oline too.

  • SanDiegoBronco55

    dude. ef cutler if he was going wine and mop like a bitch…id rather have orton, a good locker room guy, then a guy who has started more off the field problms since hes gotten here than playoff appearances (like 4 to ZERO!) Hes got all the talents and is a stud, yeah. but if McD can get Cassel to have a great year…why not get Orton or Simms? u know? we have 4 1st rounders the next two years…I think we’ll be fine in the long run…I hate Cutler…Colin Cowherd on the the Herd said with his alcohol drinking and diabetes problem that he will barely last 3-4 years in the NFL…interesting statement…we’ll see…cant wait for the draft…GO BRONCOS!

  • JRODZ

    Here’s an interesting side note: Ron Turner will be Cutler’s new OC in Chicago. Before that, he was Head Coach at Univ. of Illinois where he turned Cutler down on a scholarship offer out of high school in Indiana. Nice Karma! Have fun boys!

  • http://bclevenger@gmail.com BC

    As a native of Chicago. There’s no one in the NFL I’ve picked on more for incompetence over the past few years than Kyle Orton. He is, quite literally, the worst starting QB I’ve ever seen. I was really holding out hope this trade would turn out well enough to keep me on board. Kyle Orton is the worst possible answer. Granted, the 2 draft picks could help , but having Kyle Orton on your team is not the answer to trading away Jay Cutler. It’s just so…depressing. I’ve thought about it all day and there’s just no way I can root for this team. I’m taking a year off, going to root for the Texans(Who are more the Broncos I know than this team in Denver.) Which is a sad day for me (Dog’s name is Elway, dad has a bronco head tattoo. It’s more than a fairweather thing.)

    “Yeah, Come on Orton! Win this one for McDaniels!” Nope, can’t see myself saying that. Can you?

  • broncoNM

    rotoworld.com reports that a deal that would have sent Quinn and some picks to denver fell through at the last minute…Bears swooped in and sealed the deal. We could sit here and do “what ifs” all night…

  • BroncoinVA9986

    the best thing that denver can do is draft defense with first three picks and then find an avaliable rookie for qb in a late round start kyle or Chris for next two years and train the newyoung wildchild

  • utah bronco

    This just in McDaniels out as coach too. I wish…. This the worst day in Bronco history. Period
