Cutler wants out?

[Goober]

From rotoworld:

NFL Network's Adam Schefter confirmed that Jay Cutler will not be on the trading block whatsoever moving forward.

This seems obvious enough, but it's good to hear it confirmed. It seems clear that Josh McDaniels preferred Matt Cassel to Cutler, but it's not like there are other "franchise quarterbacks" available. Far greater coach/player conflicts have blown over, and this one will too in time. It's March.

People are reading to deep into this. This will be blown over by mini camp and you will have Cutler saying how he likes to play for Mcdaniel, how he loves Denver and Mcdaniels will say how much he likes Cutler.

Exactly. Its obvious nothing would have happend. Mcdaniels isnt dumb.

Can we really be sure of this?

Julius Peppers, Jake Delhomme to Denver for Cutler and Crowder or moss or Dumerveil...that would be sick i think the Panthers would make the Super Bowl with Cutler

Seems as though Denver wasn't just "listening" to this trade.. but they would have pulled the trigger on it had Tampa not missed the boat on the offer.

DID BUCS’ OFFER FOR CASSEL COME TOO LATE?
Posted by Mike Florio on March 1, 2009, 1:30 p.m.

ESPN’s Chris Mortensen has reported, with excellent elaboration via ESPN.com’s Tim Graham, that the Buccaneers offered a first-round and a third-round pick for quarterback Matt Cassel as part of the menage-a-trade that would have sent quarterback Matt Cassel to the Broncos and quarterback Jay Cutler to Tampa. So why did the Pats pass?

A reader has shared with us this nugget from Michael Felger of WEEI: Put simply, the Bucs arrived at the party too late (and possibly with a cinnamon bobka).

If that’s the case, then it all makes sense.

But Mort says (via Graham) that the Broncos were willing to give up their own first-round pick — No. 12 overall in the draft — for Cassel. Under those circumstances, why didn’t Belichick bite?

We agree with Mortensen’s suggestion that Belichick would be less willing to help a former assistant coach than to help the front-office guy who helped set the table for those three Super Bowl victories in four years.

Mort also suggests that the Pats leaked word of the Broncos’ effort to trade Cutler to the Boston Globe as a way to mess with the Broncos.

Um, wow.

We only wish that the Broncos and Pats played each other twice per year. As a consolation, the Broncos and Chiefs still do.

Agreed. Seinfeld references can be placed in just about anything.

wtf why didnt the pats pull the trigger on that. We would of got a first and a third instead of a second.

The Bucs offer came after the Patriots accepted the Chiefs trade.

In other words.. had the Bucs got that offer to NE sooner.. Jay Cutler would have indeed been traded.

ahh ok...but would the patriots of gotten the Buccanears first and third, and Denvers first or was denvers first gonna go to the bucs?

 

[Kuzzy Powers]

Im still baffled that they were about to trade Cutler for Cassell. Did I take a hit of acid today or something? Wow.

 

[Hasselbeck]

From my understanding.. Tampa was going to send their 1st and 3rd to NE for Cassel.. then turn around and trade Cassel to Denver for Cutler.

But it mentioned something about Denvers 1st round pick going somewhere to.

Just that they were willing to give up their first for Cassel.. and then I would imagine trade Cutler elsewhere.. but I think the Tampa-NE-Denver deal was the closest to happening.

damn if only they could of waited
