    It looks like his time in Chicago is coming to an end. I'd be interested in him.

    I didnt realize he was actually do that much money. I'd still be interested if we didnt have to pick up the entire salary.

    Not a fan of Cutler but he will be better next season than any of the other guys on the market, and likely the draft prospects.

    I did feel bad for him just a tad after that week 17 loss where Rodgers put in the endzone at the end.

    Wow Clausen? Why not just give Fales the opportunity to play?

    Agreed. Cutler has a lot of talent and like you said, is a better option than anyone else who will be on the market.

    If i'm the Jets, i'd be looking to acquire either him or possibly RGIII if he was made available as well.

    The Jets franchise is in a tough spot. People dont want Cutler but where are we supposed to go? Mariotta is not going to make it in the NFL imo, Winston can, but Winston has his drama behind him.

    I don't think anyone is going to be a fan of bringing in a QB thats somewhere in the middle but middle is a lot better the QB play recently. Perhaps Harbaugh could rescue Cutlers career? or perhaps Harbaugh goes to Chicago and rescues him their? So many questions.....

    Clausens trash, I thought Fales was half decent and had upside/potential. I agree with this.....

    Yep. Totally agree on Mariota. Either way we just aren't gonna get either one if we finish where it looks like we'll finish.

    The FA QB's are not intriguing at all. Maybe if a guy like Bradford became available.....

    Otherwise we're going to have to get creative at the QB position. Taking a chance on a guy like him isnt the worst thing in the world.

    I would draft Winston but I just believe either Lovie Smith or Ken Wisenhunt will take em. Cutler could end up in Tampa to, that wouldn't suprise me......

    He'll be a legitimate option for the NYJ in 2015

    Trestmens dumb tho, if he is trying to save his job, go to fales not clausen. Clausen sucks, we know that, false might suck to, but we don't know that yet.....

    They play Detroit this week, so whoever is out their likely gets killed anyway

    I think trestman will be fired, this is a desperation move. Cutler like most qbs needs a running game, the problem is everyone thinks you can pass your way to a victory every Sunday.

    He is capable of making plays, and I would like the jets to consider him if they don't have to pick up all of his salary, my concern would be MM.

    If he is still our OC, Jay will be in the shotgun formation all game and we won't run the ball, déjavu all over again.

    Yeah. I was holding out hope they would beat Detroit, but not anymore. Division title game week 17, hope it gets flexed.

    I wouldn't mind him as a starter for the next 2 yrs. Gotta draft a QB though at some-point. Cutler is 31. We have to work that contract out though.

    Cutler is the definition of an average Qb.
    An average Qb would considerably improve this team.
    Cutler would considerably improve this team.

    If we can somehow get him without paying the entire contract, we should.

    He's better than any QB that will be available this offseason.

    People say the Bears oline was improved but every game I watched of their's this year it was horrible.

    If it meant getting rid of Harvin , drafting Cooper and using most of the salary cap $$ to improve the oline then Im all for it.

    you guys think there's any shot TB goes after him? Lovie is a vet QB guy. Would make trading down a lot easier for Tampa.
