It does not sound like Cutler will be back. Usually trade discussions begin at the combine.

INDIANAPOLIS -- John Fox had the opportunity to calm the choppy waters surrounding Brandon Marshall and Jay Cutler on Wednesday.

He just chose not to.

Amid a week during which hope springs eternal and coaches are almost blindly optimistic, Fox didn't take the bait and get himself quoted as saying Cutler would be the future at quarterback.

"Like I said, we're not up against a deadline," Fox said. "My experience has always been that you need to gather the information and in turn you usually make better decisions. We're in that process and we'll keep you posted."


New general manager Ryan Pace was equally lukewarm, opting not to say that Cutler was the starter for 2015.

Fox also admitted to meeting with Josh McCown, who is arguably the best free-agent quarterback on the market. His praise of Cutler's former backup alone speaks volumes.

"There's obviously interest, or we probably wouldn't have met with him. But he's, again, a guy that's had opportunities as a starter in this league. He's served as a backup. He's the right kinda guy, I know from my perspective, that you want on your football team. So we'll see where it goes. He's got relationships with a lot of people in this league -- you know they have high opinions of him. We'll see where that goes."

Fox was asked about Marshall's plans to fly to New York every Tuesday in order to tape an NFL program for Showtime. Organizational frustration with Marshall is likely the No. 2 issue on the docket to clear up this offseason.

Again, though, Fox only answered the question with a generality about how he hopes everyone is committed.

Having talent on a roster is not a bad thing in February, but not knowing -- or not being able to admit -- what will happen with two of your pillars on offense is a scary. Fox and Pace certainly have their work cut out for them this week.

Fox & Case were very non-committal in the press conferences. I'm not sure that means a thing but they definitely didn't say "Jay is our quarterback", either.

Fox had a lot more positive things to say about McCown than he did Cutler FWIW. All he said about Jay was he is getting to know him and that there is more that goes into it than just talent. He was quite complimentary of McCown on the other hand.

Maybe Fox is mediocre, or maybe he is something better than mediocre. Based on your assessment, you must have wanted someone else. Who?

Uh, ok. Do people really not actually watch how Josh has played 99.98% of the time?

Actually I think they are up against a deadline. March 12th Cutler gets another 10 mil guaranteed for the 2016 season per the Suntime article. Surely something needs to be decided by then?
