If Pace put it on the table like that I would be stunned, stunned.

but the bears need more draft picks, not to move up. That's what I'm saying.

I take it you have never had to negotiate anything in your life...but if the Bears come out and confirm that they are trying to get rid of Cutler than it puts a strain on the relationship between Cutler and the Bears...also confirming it can potentially and more than likely kill what ever value Cutler has, if another team wants Cutler and see that no one actually wanted him, than if they wait long enough they can end up trading for him at a much lower cost. The other teams don't want to confirm it either because if they confirm a report that contradicts what the Bears had said than they essentially shoot themselves in the foot because why would the Bears ever want to deal with them again when they had just sold them out to the media? It also helps in their negotiations, for example if Tennessee would have come out and said yes we are trying to work out a deal for Cutler, that could trigger a team like Cleveland to potentially sneak in there and offer a better deal to Chicago and "steal" Cutler away from Tennessee.

I would take the deal in a heartbeat. Why in holy hell would Tennessee take the deal?
I don't see it, but of course many things have happened that I didn't expect. That is why I'm not promising to eat an actual crow or anything like that.

The only thing the Bears would "lose" moving up to get Mariota is Cutler and his future cap hit(s), if the proposed trade with the Titans even happens. I don't have strong feelings 1 way or the other with this trade. I don't care for either QB, since I don't see either of them as a long term answer for the Bears.
I think the Bears should just keep their #7 pick unless some team approaches them with a deal they can't pass up during the draft, then I listen.

Is this like your first week following professional sports? All teams lie...regularly. I suppose you think politicians tell the truth too?

I know. I never advocated the trade. I'm saying our 7th, Cutler and our 2nd isn't a bad trade if we were to trade up. I don't want to either

The only way it wouldn't kick in is if the Bears would have traded him before the league year deadline and then the team that acquired him, immediately cut him. Any team trading for him is not going to cut him after one year.
Why is this so hard to understand for so many?

The premise is because Wisenhunt needs to win now or he's fired. He doesn't have time to develop Mariota who isn't even his type of QB, or Mettenberger who's a project with injury concerns. They've got a good defense and maybe Cutler gets them to 9-7 and a WC berth. Wisenhunt uses Cutler for two years and then dumps him with no cap penalty, because Cutler's pay-as-you-go after 2016.

Emery & Trestman sort of needed to win now, too. Maybe if TN got Pace to pick up Cutler's salary this year it might look like a better deal for them? Idk why any coach would be lobbying to trade for a well-known coach killer.

LOL. You "sky is falling" people entertain me. We had a train wreck of a season last year, with a terrible coach who lost the locker room, a QB who didn't care and was a turnover machine, one of the league's worst defenses, and horrible special teams, and went 5-11. Now we hire a brand new coach, coordinators, and GM, and sign a bunch of free agents that are better than the trash they're replacing; so by your calculations, because we would draft Mariota we would become 2 games worse than that? Some of you seriously need to think before putting your thoughts out there on the internets. Good Lord.

You could expect Chip Kelly to go 3-13 if was stuck with Cutler too.

Why would the Titans want Cutler and his contract when they can draft top qb and get him for cheap? Plus he will sell tickets.
