Jets keeping close eye on Denver Broncos quarterback Jay Cutler

Jets an unlikely landing spot for Broncos' Cutler

The drama that is the relationship between the Denver Broncos and starting quarterback Jay Cutler raged on in the Rockies Monday. While the quarterback-needy New York Jets seem like a likely landing spot for Cutler, they would be a long shot at best according to the New York Times.

The Times reported general manager Mike Tannenbaum was expected to do due diligence on Cutler, much like he did before the Jets obtained Brett Favre. Favre and Cutler are represented by the same agent.

The Times noted that if the Jets' interest in Cutler takes a more serious turn, they will most likely need to involve a third team in order to complete a trade. The Broncos will want a proven quarterback in return for Cutler, and the Jets do not have one on their roster.

The Broncos can trade Cutler, or force him to play out the six-year, $48 million deal he signed in 2006.

The Broncos are going to have to settle for an unproven Quarterback if they are going to trade him because his suitors do not have a proven winning Quarterback on their rosters:

Jets: Clemens, Ratliff, Ainge
Vikings: Jackson, Rosenfels
Buccaneers: McCown (Luke), Johnson, Other no-names
Lions: Culpepper (hahahahahhahahaha), Stanton

If I'm the Jets I'd go to Denver with (since they want players):

RB Thomas Jones or Leon Washington
QB Kellen Clemens or Brett Ratliff
OLB Bryan Thomas
2nd Round Draft Pick

Then at 17th overall take Knowshon Moreno. :up:

Also heard mention of the bears, who have Orton. Not someone to bet the farm on, but at the least a very solid stop gap. Also, Clayton mentioned the Browns giving up Anderson or Quinn. Seems an odd move for them, but you never know I guess.

Anderson or Quinn AND Shaun Rogers for Cutler would be a good move for both sides, IMO.

And Denver would laugh, 124--sorry man.

They're not going to give that value up for a RB, especially Jones who is aging, looking for another deal and when McDaniels comes from the Belicheck lineage of not putting a lot of value on RB (same with Parcells). Kellen Clemens or Brett Ratliff? They would rather go with Patrick Ramsey I'm sure. Bryan Thomas, I don't think they're interested in trading for a guy that I'm sure the Jets would love to dump to some other team--he's overpaid and he doesn't make enough plays.

The Matt Cassell trade was the perfect one for McDaniels and the Broncos if they wanted to do it, but it didn't work out. I don't see Cutler moving.

If I was Denver I would trade Cutler for a 1St and 3Rd pick, then I would sign Jeff Garcia, he is experienced and would fit into their system. They should draft a QB and develop him under Garcia for a few years.
