Jay Cutler to be Traded

So I was just checking my rumor sites and saw a brand new post taken from the Denver Broncos official website. The subject of the post?

Why, Jay Cutler of course.

Although this time around, it wasn't about rumors or speculation or text messages or meetings or Bus Cook or Josh McDaniels.

This time, it was Broncos CEO Pat Bowlen releasing a statement, which read:

"Numerous attempts to contact Jay Cutler in the last 10 days, both by Head Coach Josh McDaniels and myself, have been unsuccessful. A conversation with his agent earlier today clearly communicated and confirmed to us that Jay no longer has any desire to play for the Denver Broncos. We will begin discussions with other teams in an effort to accommodate his request to be traded."

Wow. Could Jay Cutler be Brett Favre 2.0?

I never thought the situation would come to this to be honest, hence my lack of posting on the matter and being a big Jets fan and all.

We all know the Jets could seriously benefit from bringing in a big arm and proven talent at quarterback like Cutler, but I still have my reservations about him.

Cutler's reputation among the players of the league is that he is a hot-head, arrogant, and cocky player who likes to run his mouth.

And after this saga between he and the Broncos organization, whose to say Cutler will be able to handle the scrutiny and pressures of New York City?

Perhaps the most significant opinion on Cutler was made recently by a Jets team leader in Kerry Rhodes, who stated that he wanted to lay Cutler out when the Jets faced the Broncos last season. Apparently the disgruntled QB is quite the target around the league.

With that being said, he's also very, very good. Cutler is already proven in his young career, showing a big arm and posting even bigger numbers in what was a break-out 2008 Pro Bowl season.

Granted, the Jets don't have the same kind of weapons that the Broncos do with Brandon Marshall and Eddie Royal, but the fact of the matter is that Cutler would be a tremendous upgrade at a very unstable position for this team. Perhaps the final piece to the puzzle, even.

Although I am comfortable going into the season with a QB competition between Kellen Clemens (who I still believe has potential) and Brett Ratliff (who has an untested ceiling), Cutler takes a playoff-potential Jets squad, and turns it into something much more legitimate.

For the sake of suspicions, I won't delve into the kind of the season I believe the Jets can have with Cutler at the helm. As for now, this is all speculation anyway, but everyone in New York will be monitoring the situation as it develops, as will I.

Can't wait to hear Boomer, Carton, Greenie and Golic tomorrow morning on the air.
