First of all, all I have to say is wow at this situation. Cutler has asked to be traded from the Denver Broncos after not seeing eye-to-eye with newly hired coach Josh McDaniels. I think the person to blame for this is the Broncos owner, Pat Bowlen. He handpicked McDaniels after giving the axe to long time coach Mike Shanahan in a move that surprised many people around the league. Surely in the interview Bowlen must’ve asked (or should’ve asked) what his plans were for the Denver Broncos should he be offered the position. Coming from the Patriots McDaniels said yeah… I know you have a 25 year old quarterback here that you spent a first round pick on and made the Pro Bowl for the first time and is in the prime of his career and all… but I want to bring in Matt Cassel. Bowlen must’ve been like, okay great! Keep in mind that McDaniels has never been an NFL head coach before and has been under Bill Bellicheck. Where would he get off demanding that he bring in his own quarterback when you already have a player of pro bowl caliber already on the roster?! It’s hard to blame Cutler, a player who was thought to be a leader of the team to want out after that.

The Denver Broncos were not a very good football team last year and have a lot of holes they need to address but quarterback is, well, was one of the few areas of strength. Reports are the Broncos are demanding at least two first round picks in exchange for Cutler. The two teams actively pursuing Cutler are the Jets and the Redskins.
