A New Suitor May Be Emerging For Jay Cutler If Bears Cut Him

-

Eight years ago Jay Cutler was a far off dream for Chicago Bears fans. Another Pro Bowl quarterback another team had successfully drafted and developed. Then thanks to a freak set of circumstances that almost never happen in the NFL, the opportunity came for the Bears to trade for him. When they succeeded, it was felt this would usher in a whole new era for Chicago football.

They were almost right. Cutler overcome a rough start to help the Bears to the NFC championship in 2010. Unfortunately, that would prove to be his high water mark. It’s been nothing but injuries, controversy and heartbreaking defeats since then. As he’s set to turn 34-years old, it feels more than ever like the franchise is ready to move on.

Most of the discussion over the past month is who the man replacing him will be. A free agent? A draft pick? Another trade acquisition? Opinions have varied, but not many people are asking the other side of that question. Where will Cutler land in 2017 if the Bears decide to cut him loose? An answer may be coming to light.
