Cutler drawing interest from Vikes?

The Minneapolis Star Tribune (http://www.startribune.com/sports/vikings/40578887.html?elr=KArksi8cyaiUo8cyaiUiD3aPc:_Yyc:aULPQL7PQLanchO7DiUr) reports that talks between the Minnesota Vikings (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/clubhouse?team=min) and Denver Broncos (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/clubhouse?team=den) continued on Monday, and the topic of these talks was a potential trade for quarterback Jay Cutler (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=9597). Cutler would be a huge upgrade over any of the players that are slated to compete for the Vikings' starting job and according to the paper, the Vikings first asked about Cutler at the NFL combine in February. In the time since, Minnesota traded a fourth round draft pick to the Houston Texans (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/clubhouse?team=hou) for Sage Rosenfels (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=2658). Asked at the press conference to introduce Rosenfels whether the team would also acquire an elite quarterback this offseason, coach Brad Childress told the Star Tribune, "Don't know, I'm not clairvoyant."
A trade for Cutler would not be cheap for Minnesota. For starters, the Vikings would likely have to part ways with this year's first-round draft pick (No. 22 overall), and then supplement that pick with other draft picks or veterans. Denver is also likely seeking some semblance of a quarterback in return, seeing as Cutler's 2008 backup, Patrick Ramsey (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=3560), is currently an unrestricted free agent.

I think this would be huge for us. Sanchez or Stafford will never be as good as Cutler. Man, those purple people eaters are just trying to get all of the good players out of the AFC West. Next I'll bet they try and sign LT.....

[Direckshun]

COVETED BACKUP PATRICK RAMSEY!!!

[KCrockaholic]

This would be great. Although it would ultimately send the Vikes deep into the playoffs next year, with all that talent on one team? T.J., Peterson, The Williams, Allen, Greenway, adding Cutler would be a smart move for Minnesota

[beach tribe]

Can you imagine Cutler leaving the Donks? This is hilarious.

[Pants]

Minnesota would be beastly if that were to happen.

[StcChief]

Can you imagine Cutler leaving the Donks? This is hilarious.relaxing knowing with the Rat they are collapsing into an Oakland franchise.

[Saccopoo]

Greatest off-season ever just continues to get better.

[htismaqe]

I hope they don't get Sanchez. His upside to me is bigger than Cutler's.

Now if they replace Cutler with Stafford, they're likely getting the same kind of player.

[MagicHef]

If this is true, it makes everything that McDaniels has told Cutler and the media/public about the situation complete lies. Honestly, he should probably be careful about going out into public around Denver.

[BigChiefFan]

Even if they do trade Cutler, I still don't see a way for them to get the 1st overall pick.

[ChiefRon]

There's also rumors about the Browns asking about Cutler too...

This might get interesting...

[Sure-Oz]

I hope Cutler goes to the NFC, the bronco implosion would be a lifetime event.

[Garcia Bronco]

Everybody is asking about Cutler, but he's not getting traded by all accounts.

[MagicHef]

Everybody is asking about Cutler, but he's not getting traded by all accounts.

Assuming the article is correct, wouldn't the fact that the talks "continued" on Monday indicate that this is something the Broncos are interested in, and not just a trade scenario brought up by Minnesota?

[Brock]

They're just answering the phone, there's nothing to it /bronco homers

[Sure-Oz]

the broncos would'nt have a QB, that would be the dumbest thing to do is trade Cutler, unless they tried to draft a QB this year.

Mcdaniels is such a dipshit

[BigChiefFan]

Gus Frerotte will look good in Orange and Blue.

[CoMoChief]

Vikings gets Cutler that team immediately is a SB bound team in the NFC.

[Hog's Gone Fishin]

Cutlers diabetic, McDaniels doesn't like diabetic QB's

[Kyle DeLexus]

Cutlers diabetic, McDaniels doesn't like diabetic QB's

It kind of seems that way.

[ChiefRon]

Maybe McDaniels is enamored with Stafford or Sanchez, and they're going to try to make a play for him using Cutler as the bait?

Sounds crazy.

[CoMoChief]

Cutler leaves DEN and DEN immediately becomes the worst team in the AFCW.

[Kyle DeLexus]

Maybe McDaniels is enamored with Stafford or Sanchez, and they're going to try to make a play for him using Cutler as the bait?

Sounds crazy.

They went after Cassel first, I'm just getting the feeling he gets weirded out when Cutler has to use the needle.

[Brock]

Oh, I think we know who McDaniel is enamored with.

[Goapics1]

Oh, I think we know who McDaniel is enamored with.

We do?

[nychief]

What a weird off season for the broncos so far.

[BigChiefFan]

We do?Here's a hint, it's OUR NEW QB.:D

[Rooster]

Jake Plummer spotted at the Denver Airport.















j/k:D

[ChiefRon]

Here's a hint, it's OUR NEW QB.:D

Well we should get our own three-way trade going.

Denver gets Cassel.
Detroit get Cutler.

We get the #12, #20, and 3rd round picks from both.

Win, win, win. :)

You'd draft Matthew at #3, assuming the Lions and Rams go LT

[Pioli Zombie]

Wait my bad. If you can pull that off and keep the #3 to draft sanchez or stafford. And then still have #12, #20 and the exta 3's then YES YES that is a great deal.

Wait a minute........

Why would anybody give 2 firsts and a third for either Cassel or Cutler??

I would like to say there's no way the Broncos give up Cutler, a first and a third for Cassel, but with McDaniels running the show, I'm not so sure anymore.

[Hootie]

The Chiefs aren't going to trade Cassell LMAO

[Pioli Zombie]

Sorry Mattie, almost shipped you out under false pretenses. But I heard 12 and 20 and got all carried away ;)

ok did I actually read someone say sanchez has more potential than cutler? Wow this board has lost it's mind with the sanchez love. I was happy when we got cassel one for the chiefs two so the talk of us getting sanchez at the three would stop. But I get on here and there are still some of you who think sanchez is better than cassel and now cutler. Give me a break these guys have played in the NFL he hasn't. I can not wait to see the guy turn out not to be half as talented as these 2. Let him go to broncos then we get to see his suckage two times a year LOL. By the way the AFC west is starting to look winable next year I like :)

[Brock]

We do?

Sure, considering who he tried to trade for.

Even though it's hard to picture, especially considering his close-to-the-vest ways, Mike Shanahan is somewhere today probably laughing his ass off. The punch line: The Denver Broncos (http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/teams/page/DEN) talked about trading Jay Cutler (http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/players/playerpage/409102). Shanahan was fired as the coach of the Broncos after the 2008 season, replaced by Josh McDaniels, who came over from the New England Patriots (http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/teams/page/NE).



Shanahan's undoing wasn't his coaching, but rather his personnel decisions. None of the bad ones he made -- and there were plenty -- could have topped the one the Broncos almost made over the weekend.

Their target was reportedly Matt Cassel (http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/players/playerpage/552470), who played for McDaniels in New England.
Did I miss the memo that stated one season makes an NFL star? What is all the fuss about Matt Cassel? I'm not saying he can't be an effective NFL quarterback, or a top-15 passer. But the talk that the Broncos were willing to trade away Jay Cutler in a three-way deal to get Cassel is just stupid.
Cutler or Cassel?



Please.



Last summer, Cassel was just hoping to make the New England roster, nearly being cut in favor of Matt Gutierrez. Now he's being talked in the same breath with Jay Cutler.



Has anybody really studied the two?Cutler has a rocket. Cassel does not.
Cutler was a first-round pick for a reason. Cassel didn't even start at USC.


Yet the word got out Saturday that the Broncos were willing to part with Cutler to get Cassel. They would have worked a three-way deal to get Cassel with Tampa Bay. Instead, the Patriots traded Cassel to the Chiefs, along with linebacker Mike Vrabel, for a second-round pick.
Josh McDaniels got a mulligan. He should be thankful.



Cutler has started 37 games in his career, completing 62.5 percent of his passes. Last season he threw for 4,526 yards with 25 touchdown passes and 18 interceptions. He improved greatly last season in his second full one as a starter.

Why do you think he was almost cut?



Bill Belichick is arguably the best football mind in the business. Do you think he'd let a legitimate franchise passer go because of one bad summer of football?
Do you think he really would get fleeced by doing a favor for Scott Pioli by trading Cassel to the Chiefs?
Belichick wouldn't do a favor for his own family.
The Broncos are now putting it out that Cutler wasn't their only player that they talked about in trade talks.
That's called spin.
Coaches love their own guys, almost to a fault sometimes. There's comfort. They know the system. They know what to expect every day, in practice and in meetings.



That's why McDaniels wanted Cassel. He was one of his guys. They probably got close in all those meeting rooms. Can't you see it? They were two young guys trying to make their way underneath the glare of the stars above them, Belichick and Tom Brady.
A relationship had to form. That's natural.



But to think that Cutler couldn't be that same kind of guy is naïve on the part of McDaniels. Cutler was good enough to play for Shanahan. The relationship between Cutler and the new staff will be fixed. He'll realize it's business.



But the foolishness of trying to trade him will linger for some time.
So go ahead and laugh, Shanny. The punch line is way too funny: Trade Jay Cutler to get Matt Cassel.
You don't get jokes much more laughable than that from those late-night talking heads.

1. I guess I don't understand how Cutler has acted unprofessionally. He was asked how he felt about the trade rumors, and he said he was shocked. I was shocked, and I think a lot of people were shocked. He then declined to fly to Denver from Nashville to meet with the people that had told him, apparently, nothing but lies. McDaniels told him that they had never tried to trade him, while they were apparently discussing a trade with the Vikings. Personally, I think McDaniels acted unprofessionally, and I don't understand why he feels he needs to lie about this whole situation.

2. It may take time for him to adjust to, but I think Cutler is talented enough to succeed in almost any system.

#1 - I agree that he needs to buckle up and grow up a bit, it is a business... but none of us know what was said behind close doors between Cutler and the HC prior to this BS. So, is he pissed because he truly was lied to or is he being more of a woman than he needs to be? None of us knows the full story. But, again ... I do think he needs to wise up and this could be good for him in the long run.

#2 - Learning a new system should always be a concern, but I don't agree that it has taken him 3 years to finally learn Shanahan's system. He was thrown in the final stretch of games in 2006 as a rookie and played like a rookie.

In 2007, he was 7-9 as a starter... nearly 3500 yds passing with 20 TDs and 14 INTs. So, there were highs and lows, but as far as 'learning the system', I believe he "got it" in 2007.

In 2008, he was 8-8 as a starter, nearly 4600 yds passing with 25 TDs and 18 INTs. The Broncos had zero consistency in the rushing game and the defense continued to suck.

Are they suggesting that the 9 and 8 losses are all because Cutler hadn't fully learned the system? I think that's stupid.

In 2008, only 2 QBs made more than 600 pass attempts - Brees (635) and Cutler (616). Brees had nearly 500 more yards, 9 more TDs and 1 fewer INT on 19 more pass attempts. The Saints were also 8-8.

It was pointed out earlier that while Marshall had a fine season with over 100 receptions... he had some serious drops (18 on target I believe) and the only other threat was the rookie, both did well.

Why am I typing all this... because I think it's crazy to suggest that Cutler took so long to learn the system and that learning a new system will set him back. Yes, he has areas to work on, but he's a very nice talent to have and the current regime is doing their best to screw it up.

The Broncos issues the last few years are more than just the QB... I think the QB was far down the list on areas to fix. But, the new staff is learning early what to do and what not to do.

[Thig Lyfe]

I don't know which would be better: a disgruntled Cutler moping around in Denver or a vengeful Cutler sent to the NFC with renewed motivation and energy.

The second option probably wins if the Broncos were unable to trade for a high enough pick to get Sanchez or Stafford.

[Sweet Daddy Hate]

Wait my bad. If you can pull that off and keep the #3 to draft sanchez or stafford. And then still have #12, #20 and the exta 3's then YES YES that is a great deal.

But I get on here and there are still some of you who think sanchez is better than cassel and now cutler. Give me a break these guys have played in the NFL he hasn't. I can not wait to see the guy turn out not to be half as talented as these 2. Let him go to broncos then we get to see his suckage two times a year LOL. By the way the AFC west is starting to look winable next year I like :)

LMAOOh sweet Jesus; is it April 25th yet?LMAO

#1 - I agree that he needs to buckle up and grow up a bit, it is a business... but none of us know what was said behind close doors between Cutler and the HC prior to this BS. So, is he pissed because he truly was lied to or is he being more of a woman than he needs to be? None of us knows the full story. But, again ... I do think he needs to wise up and this could be good for him in the long run.

#2 - Learning a new system should always be a concern, but I don't agree that it has taken him 3 years to finally learn Shanahan's system. He was thrown in the final stretch of games in 2006 as a rookie and played like a rookie.

In 2007, he was 7-9 as a starter... nearly 3500 yds passing with 20 TDs and 14 INTs. So, there were highs and lows, but as far as 'learning the system', I believe he "got it" in 2007.

In 2008, he was 8-8 as a starter, nearly 4600 yds passing with 25 TDs and 18 INTs. The Broncos had zero consistency in the rushing game and the defense continued to suck.

Are they suggesting that the 9 and 8 losses are all because Cutler hadn't fully learned the system? I think that's stupid.

In 2008, only 2 QBs made more than 600 pass attempts - Brees (635) and Cutler (616). Brees had nearly 500 more yards, 9 more TDs and 1 fewer INT on 19 more pass attempts. The Saints were also 8-8.

It was pointed out earlier that while Marshall had a fine season with over 100 receptions... he had some serious drops (18 on target I believe) and the only other threat was the rookie, both did well.

Why am I typing all this... because I think it's crazy to suggest that Cutler took so long to learn the system and that learning a new system will set him back. Yes, he has areas to work on, but he's a very nice talent to have and the current regime is doing their best to screw it up.

The Broncos issues the last few years are more than just the QB... I think the QB was far down the list on areas to fix. But, the new staff is learning early what to do and what not to do.

Good, well-thought out post, as usual. I tend to agree with everything you said. I think the problem with Cutler is he wants to be catered to and I don't believe disciples of BB's work in that manner. Cutler feels disrespected.

The one thorn in this, is Cutler's maturity level, if he let's this fester I can see him not backing down and getting very public with this. Cutler's maturity level could make this become a distraction. If McDaniels was smart, he would sit down with Cutler immediately and get this worked out and then come out with a public statement supporting his QB.

Thanks and I agree... Cutler was drafted, viewed as and treated like the savior for Shanahan's legacy. There's no doubt there was a lot of warm and fuzzies there.

Yes, McD screwed this up and Cutler needs to man up and just let it go or this will fester and erupt. Bottom line, I do think this is a great life lesson for Cutler... it's a business and not every relationship is going to be "buddy buddy".

I still wonder whether we shouldn't try and trade Cassel for the extra draft picks. If we can get a 1st and 3rd for Cassel, it might be worth it.

He reminds me of George, I don't think he IS George.

I just still have questions about whether or not Cutler has the mental makeup to take it to that "next level". He seems to me to be the kind of guy to rack up outrageous stats while never really winning anything of significance.

No kidding. That's low. I am praying the Donks deal him to MN so he's out of our conference altogether. The last thing I want is another great Bronco QB ripping my heart out at least once a year.

Plus he's got a stronger arm than #7!!;)

[Quesadilla Joe]

McDaniels and Xanders report to Bowlen and Bowlen would never let Cutler get away. Bowlen wants to always field a winning team anything less than the playoffs is unacceptable to him.

The story is gaining momentum...


Cutler To The Vikings? by Brandon Bohning (Scribe)

Breaking News
March 03, 2009
According to the most recent reports the Minnesota Vikings may be leading the rush to get Jay Cutler from the Denver Broncos.

As you may recall, the Broncos were looking to sign Matt Cassel from the New England Patriots before they were beat to the punch by their hated rivals, the Kansas City Chiefs.

Jay Cutler gaffed at the fact that former New England coordinator, and new Broncos coach Josh McDaniels, wanted to acquire a starting quarterback to replace him.

After losing the batter for Cassel, McDaniels assured the press (in an attempt to assure Cutler) that, "We don't want to trade Jay. We never did. He's our quarterback."

Really? Then why were you pursuing Cassel?

Cutler has a right to be mad. He was a Pro-Bowl selection after his performance last season. Granted, the Broncos only finished 8-8 and failed to make the playoffs, but Cutler's success at the QB position hasn't been seen in Denver since John Elway.

Find TicketsPowered by FanSnap.comMinnesota, on the other hand, just signed a new QB in Sage Rosenfels. He was brought in to provide some competition for Tarvaris Jackson for the starting job next season.

Getting Cutler makes sense for a couple of reasons. Unlike Rosenfels, he is young, and can fit well into a run-first system.

Cutler threw 25 touchdowns last year, but also threw 18 interceptions. Adrian Peterson and Chester Taylor may quell Cutler's need to make plays down the field, resulting in fewer mistakes.

The Vikings and owner Zigi Wilf are looking to buy another big name, and as ESPN.com's NFC North blogger Kevin Seifert points out, "The Vikings, compared to other teams in the league, spend next to nothing on the quarterback position."

The Vikings came up short of signing T.J. Houshmanzadeh yesterday, so we know they are looking for a marquis player. The former Cincinnati WR signed a large contract with the Seattle Seahawks.

Sure the Vikings are weak at the WR position, but with a QB of Cutler's quality, the Vikings wouldn't be forced to go out and sign a big name WR to compliment Bernard Berrian.

Whether or not Cutler is going to be dealt remains to be seen, but one would have to think that the Vikings have plenty of leverage to sign him.

Minnesota is arguably a QB of Cutler's quality away from making a deep run in the playoffs. The next few days of the Cutler saga will be fun to watch, and I would think Minnesota fans will have their ears perked.

I'm sure they are trying to get Cutler but Denver has said that they are not trading him. Adam Schefter says Cutler is not on the trading block and the only way he will leave Denver is when Cutler's contract expires two years from now.... And then Denver will tag him... And then they will tag him again until. By the time Cutler becomes a free agent he will be 30 years old.:thumb:

You know how you avoid that? You get someone better. And that's exactly what we're going to do.

I can sense it; Alzheimers Davis will buy the Broncos so Bowlen can pay his bar tab, and then he'll move the team to Saskatchewan. :thumb: LMAO

Excellent! Oh, let it be true...

[MagicHef]

If this is true, I am sorry for doubting/being mad at McDaniels.

Now this went down before the Broncos released their statement this afternoon. Anyhow, Sandy cited a "very trustworthy" NFL source that the original deal that the Broncos were discussing was with Detroit and New England, and Tampa jumped in with a proposal after it fell through. He posed a few scenarios but he "reported" the one Denver wanted but New England backed out of at the last second was:

Denver trades Jay Cutler, #48 pick (2nd round) and #79 (3rd round)
Detroit trades #1 pick (1st round) and #20 pick (1st round)
New England trades Matt Cassel

Denver receives Matt Cassel, #1 pick (1st round) and #20 pick (1st round)
Detroit receives Jay Cutler and #79 (3rd round)
New England receives #48 pick (2nd round)

I have no idea as to the credibility of Sandy Clough and his "sources" but if this was true - I don't blame the Broncos one bit for discussing it.
