King: Cutler had already asked to be traded
If you weren’t a Jay Cutler fan before, you’re really going to like him now.
Remember how upset Cutler was after his name came up in trade talks over the weekend? Well according to SI.com’s Peter King, Cutler had already asked the Broncos to trade him, long before the events of this weekend took place.
According to SI’s Peter King, Jay Cutler had asked the Broncos to trade him after the team lost offensive coordinator Jim Bates to USC after the season.
Cutler wasn’t happy about losing Bates or head coach Mike Shanahan, and he’s not handling the recent trade talks well at all. It doesn’t look like the Broncos are going to trade Cutler at this point, so, as King suggested, “maybe both sides need to get into marriage counseling.”
You’re kidding me right? Cutler had already asked to be traded after Shanahan and Bates were fired, yet said he was shocked when his name came up in trade talks over the weekend? I guess he still could have been surprised by all the news, but for him to say how upset he was about the whole thing makes him look two-faced with this latest information coming to the table.
Any way you slice it, the Josh McDaniels era in Denver has not started off well. Cutler isn’t expected to be dealt any time this offseason, so that means the two parities will have to come together and bury the hatchet before the start of next season. These things tend to work themselves out and the situation will probably be a dead one by the time Week 1 hits, but again, this isn’t a good start for McDaniels.

i understand he probably thought about getting out after the firing of shanahan. but i don’t think he really asked for it.
and mcdaniels should calm down with the power. i guess wut they say is true: power corrupts.
but regardless, neither of them are trying very hard to sort this out it seems lk. im quite upset myself at this because i love the broncos and would hate to see cutler leave.
and it already has brandon marshall doing stuff.
this isn’t working out at all.
He was only upset because he was promised they would keep bates, the mctyrant came in and got power hungry and fired bates. that’s why cutler got upset. he came down said he’d do whats best for the team and then mcduffus was at it again trying to trade him. you really can’t blame cutler for being so pissed.
