BREAKING NEWS Denver agrees to trade Pro Bowl quarterback Jay Cutler to the Chicago Bears. The Broncos will receive first-round picks in 2009 and '10, a No. 3 pick this year and Kyle Orton, the 'Chicago Sun-Times' reports.
steep price
Doesn't seem steep at all. A #18 pick this year, next year likely mid to late 1st rounder, swapping a 3rd rounder for a 5th rounder and of course dumping Orton. 2 mid first round picks basically. That's a steal for a pro-bowl QB.
Seems like a pretty steep price to pay IMO, when Orton was starting to look pretty darn good last year.
Definitely happy to get Cutler, don't get me wrong, but CHI defense needs some serious help and they may have shot that to hell by dumping draft picks.
