Jay Cutler wants out of Denver

The situation has gone from bad to worse for Jay Cutler and the Denver Broncos. As of last night, Cutler and his agent formally expressed Jay's desire to be traded to another team following a meeting of the minds with Cutler, his agent, and the Broncos new head coach Josh McDaniels.

This thing has been brewing for a few weeks now, and tempers began to flare after it became known that Denver expressed interest in acquiring Matt Cassel from New England a few weeks ago. Prior to becoming head coach in Denver, McDaniels was the Offensive Coordinator and Quarterbacks coach for New England so it makes sense that he would try to bring in a guy that he was very familiar with to his new team.

After Cassel was signed by Kansas City, Denver tried to save face and make amends with their young, talented QB. Cutler was drafted 11th by Denver in the 2006 NFL Draft. Cutler has loads of potential, but since he has taken the helm in Denver, the Broncos have not made the playoffs. The Broncos were on the verge of a playoff berth last season, but Cutler threw 2 interceptions in the final game of the season, a 52-21 drubbing versus San Diego. The win propelled the Chargers to the AFC West title, and sent Denver home for the offseason.

I think Jay knew this day was coming, as he and his parents both placed their homes in the Denver area up for sale last week. Cutler has a strong arm, and has proven he has the potential to be a great QB in the league. There are a lot of teams looking for a good signal caller this season. Jay should be on someone's roster fairly soon.
