Jay Cutler: 31 Possible Suitors

It's all about me, me, me...

Well, maybe it is, and maybe it isn't. The fact of the mater is, this situation went from bad to worse, and now it's clear that it's irreparable.

Jay Cutler has reported a lack of trust with his coach and front office, and feels it has gotten to the point where it's time for both sides to move on.

The word is that coach Josh McDaniels wanted "his own guy", and didn't feel comfortable with Cutler moving forward, at least up until he knew he couldn't land Matt Cassel.

A trade appears to be imminent, so let the bidding wars begin!

Here is a run-through of the 31 other teams that we might be seeing Cutler throwing passes for.

(No particular order)

1. Philadelphia Eagles

Well, I guess it all depends just how committed Philly is in Donovan McNabb. McNabb is looking for a contract extension, ensuring a retirement as an Eagle, but the team doesn't seem to feel the need to reciprocate.

This could be a chance for the Broncos to get a proven quarterback, while the Eagles can start over with some young, confident talent.

It's highly unlikely, but it could actually be crazy enough to work for both teams.

2. Washington Redskins

I don't know interested the Broncos would be in Jason Campbell, but I'm sure Jim Zorn is salivating over the possibilities with Cutler.

While it would surely be an upgrade for Washington, I just don't see the Redskins giving up on Campbell that easily.

3. New York Giants

Eli Manning is just one full year removed from hoisting the Lombardi Trophy. Next.

4. Dallas Cowboys

At this point, do we really believe Jerry Jones fully backs anybody?

Remember when he freaked out about the switch from Drew Bledsoe to Tony Romo, in the first place? Well, I do, and it wasn't pretty.

But I believe Jones when he backs Romo. He's their guy.

5. Green Bay Packers

Last season's quarterback drama was enough for the next ten years. They're good, here.

6. Detroit Lions  (previous article)

This is actually my top choice, as seen in my other article. The Lions don't have a ton to offer, talent-wise, but could offer a package of picks, and maybe Daunte Culpepper.

Josh McDaniels could then get a shot at picking "his own guy" in the first round.

7. Chicago Bears

Whether or not the Bears give a heavy run at Cutler will show just how committed they are to winning.

I don't think they'll get Cutler in the end, but not trying to upgrade over Orton or Rex Grossman for the past five years is just shameless.

8. Minnesota Vikings

If the Vikings are set at quarterback, then let the laughing begin.

If they're truly content with Sage Rosenfels and Tarvaris Jackson fighting over the keys to this team, then they can kiss their season good-bye.

An elite quarterback could make this team one of the top two seeds in the playoffs.

But, what do they have to offer?

9. Carolina Panthers

Jake Delhomme is Jon Fox's guy, so I just don't see it happening. However, he really shut it down near the end of the season, and especially in the playoffs against the Cardinals (five picks).

He's probably not done, but if they can nab Cutler, loyalty may not become an issue.

Fox probably needs to get back to the Super Bowl within the next two seasons to keep his job.

10. New Orleans Saints

For as dumb as this organization has been throughout it's history, at least they're smart enough to see the quarterback position is not one that needs addressing.

Drew Brees threw for over 5,000 yards last season. He's staying put.

11. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
