Jay Cutler: I never wanted to be traded

This kind of cracks me up/makes me want to hit my head against the wall.

Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler

"I was surprised they decided to trade me this soon," Cutler told Glazer in his first comments since the statement was released. "I didn’t want to get traded. This wasn’t me. (The Broncos) had been going back and forth saying things, wanting me to be their quarterback and then they didn’t."

"I really didn’t want this. I love Denver. I really like my teammates. I didn’t want it to get this far."

It makes me wonder if this was an attempt to get a new contract rather than force a trade.  Cutler had two amazing receivers, a good offensive line, and an offensive minded coach and owner.  Now he is in a city with a mediocre offense, no high draft picks, and a team that thinks run first.

Now Denver will go out and draft Matt Sanchez and he will get to drive the Ferrari that is Denver’s offence.

  1. Jordon, I live in Colorado and we know that right after Josh McDaniels was hired, Cutler put his house up for sale and started whining. I’m not sure if the Bronco fans were quite endeared to him. I think he is a good quarterback but he needs to grow up. He will get no grace in Chicago.

  2. Well that’s the weird thing, he asked for a trade right after Shanahan was fired and now he is saying he never wanted to be traded. Something isn’t right here. Tonight I got the letter from Pat Bowlen which basically said, “Jay is lying, we both tried to contact him.” and I tend to believe Pat Bowlen in all of this.

    Either Jay is trying to do damage control or he is getting some awful advice. Either way I need to order a Kyle Orton jersey… well maybe I’ll wait to see if they get Matt Sanchez.
