The possible 2015 landing spots for Jay Cutler

[joeybee12]

If the Chicago Bears were willing to bench Jay Cutler for Jimmy Clausen, it seems like anything is on the table for the Bears and Cutler going forward.

The Bears made a mistake signing Cutler to a massive contract this past offseason, and now they might try to get out from that mistake by trading him. The good news for the Bears is there are always general managers and coaches in the NFL on the hot seat, willing to make a bad move in a self-serving attempt to save their own jobs. If Cutler doesn’t work out in 2015, it won’t be their problem in 2016 anyway.

If the Bears trade Cutler, it will be just a $4 million cap hit for them with $12.5 million in 2015 cap savings, according to OverTheCap.com. The team trading for Cutler would take on his $15.5 million in guaranteed 2015 salary and also a likely $16 million in guarantees, according to OverTheCap.com, but again – some desperate GM won’t really care about that. OverTheCap.com said if the Bears cut Cutler, he will still count $19.5 million against their 2015 salary cap, so that’s not realistic.

So which team might let the Bears off the hook when it comes to what might be the NFL’s worst contract? Let’s take a look at Cutler's possible teams for 2015:

3. The Saints?

[joeybee12]

4. Hah!

[JonLP24]

5. Rams would be a scary fit

[joeybee12]

6. I'd like to see him go to Washington...

It might finally ruin thgat franchise completely!

[madinmaryland]

7. Uhmm... Washington is where players who end up there get ruined completely!!

The Snyder Syndrome.

8. That's the point!

9. Prediction

Cutler stays in Chicago. The braintrust is cleared out. Only meatballs think that their dreadful performance will change with a different quarterback, unless it's Manning, Brady and Rodgers, and even though only somewhat.

The defense is horrible and special teams are dreadful.

Even some of you guys are acting like meatballs on this. Why isn't anybody talking about the Allen contract? The Bears actually won 3 games this year BECAUSE OF Cutler. Jared Allen has been useless this year and he's getting paid a ton.

They didn't move on from Briggs and Tillman when it was obvious they're toast.

The O-Line is still marginal at best (an upgrade from horrible the last 2 seasons).

This is a desperation move of coaching and management trying to save face in the light of a bunch of meatball fans who think the QB is the real problem.

One need not be an expert on football to see that losing 2 games in a row when scoring 27 or more points is a defense and special teams issue.

10. +1. Can't blame it on Cutler. Marc Trestman has a history of failure in the NFL.

Besides, with that contract who would possibly sign Cutler?

[ProfessorGAC]

11. Agreed

Same reason they're stuck with the bad Allen contract.
