Schefter says Bears may have to also give up draft pick to get rid of Cutler

Several NFL executives believe that it’s possible for Bears QB Jay Cutler to go from being benched to becoming a first-scenario, test-case trade. Never before has a team trading a player also had to give up drat-pick compensation to get rid of him. But some NFL executives believe that with any team having to absorb $25.5 million worth of guarantees in Cutler’s contract, the Bears might have to package a decent draft pick to get another team to take him. NFL rules dictate that nominal compensation must be exchanged between teams, but it could mean another team surrendering a late-round pick to Chicago for Cutler and a better pick. Such a scenario could enrage Bears fans, but to get a team to take on so much guaranteed money that could be used on valuable free agents and contract extensions, the Bears just might have to compensate a team with more than Cutler to do it.

I don't believe this.

fricking awesome

Not worth it. Cutler isn't Chicago's biggest problem.

Call me crazy but if I'm Arizona or Cleveland I'm considering this.
Cutler is a top 10 QB if he's happy and has a good line and running game. He's also got star power.

It's pretty telling that the organization is willing to part with Cutler when Trestman won't be back regardless.

I'm sure they will. It's the reason you don't give big contracts to average players.

Cutler is a better solution than any QB in the next draft. If a team wants to compete now, they will take him.

The only caveat is that b/c of his wife/gf and their star lifestyle, I doubt he'd be thrilled in a Cleveland or Buffalo situation.
Seems like NY or Nashville or Arizona would be the more realistic options.

I think Arians might have enough swag to motivate him

Their defense and coaching staff is probably a bigger problem than the offensive line.
