Not sure if you guys saw this on Twitter, but in the aftermath of the Marshall trade, it's come out that Cutler's massive contract may have been the real reason why Brandon is no longer a Bear.
In the past, Cutler has repeatedly said he just wants to win and when they were negotiating his extension he was very candid about the numbers not being what's important to him.
He said he didn't want to be a financial drain on the franchise that would keep talented players from being signed or retained.
So now it looks like the FO called him on this and it must have been BS the ENTIRE TIME. He could have restructured to keep his supposed BFF and the Bears BEST WR talent with the team.
HE DIDN'T.
I'm sure there is more to this rumor and that more facts will come out. Looks like the FO is sending a message - YOU TAKE OUR MONEY, WE TAKE YOUR WEAPONS AWAY!!!
It will be interesting to see who else will be a victim of Cutler's contract...
What are you talking about, his contract can be changed by the Bears if the BEARS deem it necessary by taking future funds and giving it to Jay in the form of immediate bonus. But, what does this have to do with Marshall, Marshall's contract isn't big and it has years on it. It is basically a deal. There is no taking Marshall, Marshall wasn't a F/A, the Bears had to want to get rid of him.
