Possible Landing Spots For Jay Cutler

Posted on March 18, 2009 by James W

Off the top of my head some possible landing spots for Jay Cutler if this whole situation goes from bad to worse…

Tampa Bay Bucs – Tons of cap room thanks to the recent purge of veterans with large contracts would allow for a restructured deal.

New York Jets – Have been looking for a quarterback since Namath left, though if rumors of a trade have him rattled how will he handle the New York media?

Houston Texans – The Texans already have Matt Schaub but he has never shown the ability to stay healthy. Head coach Gary Kubiak was a former coordinator in Denver so the system is similar.

Chicago Bears – The Bears have been searching for a quarterback almost as long as the Jets and while Kyle Orton had his moments last season he isn’t the long term answer. Cutler has the arm strength to play in windy Soldier Field.

Buffalo Bills – They took on Terrell Owens and they haven’t been ranked higher than 25th offensively since 2002.

Minnesota Vikings – They just traded for Sage Rosenfels but Brad Childress has a job to think about and Cutler would be a significant improvement on a team that desperately needs quarterback help.

Detroit Lions – They have the draft picks and a great receiving corps. Trading for Cutler would make more sense than drafting a quarterback and make life much easier for new coach Jim Schwartz.

Cleveland Browns – This has been rumored but with Derek Anderson and Brady Quinn tying up a significant amount of cap space I really don’t see it happening.

San Francisco 49ers – The 49ers just restructured the contract of Alex Smith and have a three way battle for their starter. If you have three quarterbacks you really have none so Cutler would make a good fit.
