After a contentious conference call between quarterback Jay Cutler and the Denver Broncos' brass on Monday, the situation has gone "from bad to worse", according to a source close to the situation.

The call was supposed to be a meeting of the minds between Cutler and the Broncos' brass, in particular new head coach Josh McDaniels. The two got sideways Feb. 28 when word broke that McDaniels, the former New England offensive coordinator who replaced Mike Shanahan after 14 seasons, engaged in discussions about acquiring Matt Cassel from the Patriots in a three-way trade. Cutler had maintained the Broncos initiated the talks. McDaniels publicly said he was approached about a deal.

The conference call was anything but genial and the two sides are now further apart than prior to it, the source said. The source said that the Broncos' tone of the conference call was as if Cutler created the situation by asking for the trade and not the other way around.

The source said McDaniels wouldn't confirm or deny whether the Broncos initiated the trade talks. The Broncos did, though, tell Cutler that every player on the team could be traded and he could be traded at any time. Still, Denver owner Pat Bowlen also stated in the conversation that Cutler will not be traded. The Broncos publicly said Cutler will not be traded last week as the Cutler trade frenzy was in full force.

After the phone call, Cutler, the source said, would rather be traded now if Denver isn't going to commit to him long-term. The source maintains Cutler was totally on board with McDaniels until the trade talks story broke and that trust is Cutler's biggest problem with McDaniels and the organization.

The source said Cutler is still mulling over whether he will show up for the team's offseason conditioning program, which begins Monday.

Wow, I would be floored and stoked

Who do the goats have as their number two?

P. Ramsey, I believe.

Which isn't too shabby as #2's go to my belief tonight. Toodles.

Edit: Oops. Too bad I was wrong.

Is Cutler a certifiable moron? This is hilarious.

We should definitely trade them Cassel for a steeply inflated price.

The Broncos will start Chase Daniel next year.

You are dragging around Reerun's signature like a cat drags a turd with a long piece of tinsel inside.

This has me so entertained that even if Cassel busts as our starter, it would almost still be a good investment of a 2nd round pick to jettison Denver's QBOTF. Nice.

Eh... our guy's gotta work out for us. Denver losing their guy is gravy. NOT the other way around.

Success for the Chiefs >>> Demise of the Broncos.

This. But getting Donkoland to collapse on itself is more production than we've ever gotten out of a 2nd rounder.

You could make an argument for the Raiders, if they didn't already suck without any help.

The perfect team for him. Since they have a Doctor of Internal Medicine on the full time staff anyway.
