Broncos Jay Cutler asks for trade.

[wilheim]

Jay Cutler has formally requested to be traded, the Denver Post is reporting.

The request was made Sunday night through agent Bus Cook, but the Post says new Broncos coach Josh McDaniel said he hopes to appease his quarterback's concerns.

"I would like to talk to Jay before we go on and start to discuss some other type of alternative," McDaniels told the Post. "In the last couple weeks, we've been all about trying to communicate and resolve his unhappiness with what happened — which we understand — and that's been our direction."

McDaniels will have his first team meeting today at the team's headquarters, and Cutler isn't expected to be there.

Cutler told ESPN.com Saturday his meeting with McDanields didn't go well, saying that: "I went in there with every intention of solving the issue, being a Bronco, moving forward as a Bronco. We weren't in there but about 20 minutes, (McDaniels) did most of the talking, and as far as I'm concerned, he made it clear he wants his own guy. He admitted he wanted Matt Cassel because he said he has raised him up from the ground as a quarterback. He said he wasn't sorry about it.

"At the end of the meeting, he wasn't like, 'Jay, I want you as our quarterback, you're our guy.' It felt like the opposite. . . . Really, I figured we'd hash things out, shake hands, laugh a little and move forward. What happened (Saturday) was the last thing I expected."

Cutler has been unhappy since learning he was part of a trade proposal that would have sent him to Tampa Bay in a three-team swap that would have brought Cassel, McDaniels' former quarterback in New England, to Denver. Cassel ended up in Kansas City.

ha.....we'll see if they get off those millions they have left to spend, but I doubt it....

This is all about money....nothing more. He's been a whiny little bitch since Bates got canned with Shanahan & his named surfaced in the original trade rumors.

Bus Cook saw an opening to say "My client is unhappy, but if we could go ahead and get that renegotiated long term deal now, he'll be alright". Bronco brass probably laughed and said , yeah right....Cutler asks for trade.

Denver holds all the cards here...he's under contract (for cheap) until 2012. As a Bronco fan, I hope they find a way to work it out, but if Cutler continues to act like a damn prima donna....screw him.

As I was saying.....

SOURCE: COOK WANTS NEW CONTRACT FOR CUTLER

Posted by Mike Florio on March 16, 2009, 11:34 a.m. EDT
With none of the top quarterbacks in the draft pool picking him to be their agent, Bus Cook had to find a way to get his name into the NFL conversation in the weeks leading up to the 2009 version of the rookie selection process.
What better way to do it than to demonstrate his power and influence to the quarterback class of 2010 by forcing a trade of Broncos quarterback Jay Cutler?
Dan Patrick said on the Monday edition of his show that Cook recently responded to a report from Peter King that Cutler had asked for a trade before the possibility of trading Cutler ever arose with the time-honored non-denial denial: “Not that I know of.”
We’re now convinced that Cook is the primary instigator of Cutler’s discontent — and also the primary impediment to a meaningful coach-player meeting that could resolve the situation and keep Cutler around.
King told Patrick on Monday that coach Josh McDaniels still wants to have a one-on-one meeting with Cutler.
In other words, McDaniels wants to be able to talk to Cutler without Cook sticking his nose into the discussion, saying and doing things that will prevent Cutler’s currently stubborn resolve from weakening.
Indeed, a league source tells us that Cook’s idea for solving the current impasse was — what else? — a fat new contract for Cutler. If the Broncos aren’t willing to give Cutler a new deal, then Cook and Cutler want to be traded.
Cook is a West Virginia native, so we’d ordinarily be inclined to give him the Pat White treatment. In this case, we can’t. Cook has been at the center of too many unnecessary controversies, and he has failed to use his tremendous influence over his clients to persuade them to find a way to make things work. Instead, Cook has thrived of late on destroying existing relationships, for no apparent strategic reason other than to get his name in the paper.
That said, it’s not too late for the Broncos to take control of the situation. As pointed out in our latest SportingNews.com item, the Bengals did it last year with Chad Johnson, and the Cardinals did it last year (and might do it again this year) with Anquan Boldin. When a player is under contract for three more seasons, the team (not the player) has the power to determine whether the player will be traded or released before those three years expire.

Broncos handled the situation about as poorly as could be. The new higher ups have a lot to learn.

Wow. Jake T with the smack down.

But you sure are right.

Has Jay ever been in trouble with the law there in Denver?

Raiders might like to have a look.

 

[AllenRocks]

Cutler is a class act. The coach is an arrogant prick. He did well this year and if he a defense might have made a run in the playoffs. If the Lions get him they'll go from 0-16 to at least 6-10 depending on what else they get in the off season.

 

[RobFunk]

Thing I like about Cutler is that he's a guy who gets up at six o' clock in the morning regardless of what time it is.

Lions get Jay Cutler

Denver gets Derek Anderson, and pick #20 from the Lions(that they got from the Cowboys for Roy Williams).

Cleveland gets a 3rd and 6th round pick from Detroit (the other 2 picks the Lions got from the Cowboys in the Roy Willaims deal).

Lions get their franchise qb, and don't lose any of their own draft, essentially they swap Williams for Cutler.

Denver gets a strong armed QB with starting experience and even a probowl under his belt, and they get the #20 pick on top of it. Don't think they will be able to top that.

Browns get a 3rd and 6th rounder for a QB who is not in their future plans. The ManKok regime can continue their makeover of the Browns roster with 2 additional draft choices.

Works for everybody, atleast in my mind. Get it done!

Sounds good....wish it would happen with me living here in Detroit and having to root for this sorry ass franchise.....but I dont think its nearly enough for Denver.....they can ask for the moon....there will be plenty of teams lined up for this guy....first off, if your Denver, is Derrick Anderson better than Cutler? Nope...they wont do that deal.....Detroit HAS to offer its #1 overall pick....then Denver can take Stafford and start from scratch...but I dont think Detroit will offer their pick....although I would do it....they can give Denver #1 overall get Denvers 12th.....and give Denver either their 20th this year or maybe a 2nd next year....No need to have Cleveland involved....Lions get Denvers 12 and Cutler.....Denver gets the #1 pick and the 20th pick or a 2nd rounder next year....something along those lines...

Gasm~
