Chris Mortensen Says He Has Redskins In Lead (with Bucs) For Cutler's Services
Oh Jebus...
Just when we thought it was all over. Mort said (about 5 minutes ago) that he thought the Buccaneers and Redskins were the two top teams in the hunt for trading for Cutler.Here is what he said on NFL Live:
"The Redskins, I would almost [put] them on top because Daniel Snyder wants to make this happen. Without question. He wants to make it happen. It wouldn't surprise me if within 24 hours the Redskins did this deal."
We beat this one up already the first time around, but these are some strong words from a guy who usually knows at least a little about the way the wind is blowing. Is he wrong sometimes? Sure he is. But this will do nothing to quell the rumors in D.C., that's for sure.
Let the comment frenzy begin.

One of my biggest concerns
If this is true….
If we try to get Cutler and fail, and JC has a good/great year, why would he re-sign with us?
B/c it's the media...
If Vinny and Snyder already sat JC down and said “you’re our guy,” then all this BS means nothing.
right...
because that’s exactly not what happened to Jay Cutler right.
It's different...
the DEN owner said that then they brought in a new coach. We’ve had the same coach, “GM,” and owner in place for a year now when they publicly said JC is our guy
The thing is
You’re counting on JC to have a good season in this situation
I don’t think that’s anything you need to worry about

Mort has been wrong before
He had Shanahan going to the Chiefs and was WRONG. This is all BS….

I'm confused
everyone is talking player swaps and first round picks plus some as if that’s obviously the going rate. But Denver is not in a position of power in this negotiation process, unless some ferocious bidding war ensues between teams (which is exactly what the media wants during the doldrums). If they fail to trade him they are stuck with a whiney brat on their hands who doesn’t want to play. Once the initial shock subsides, I’ll bet that Cutler’s value drops considerably.
TTB!
demand
Jetts, Bucs, Lions, Skins, are all heavy bidders…i’d imagine vikes, bears and some other teams are quiet bidders. Practically EVERY NFL SB Nation NFL blog has their team “showing interest” in Cutler. Media and fans have nothing else to do.
Having said that, I am returning to my task of watching dudes prank super hot girls on break.com
Mort has more more inaccurate "breaking" reports than anyone on ESPN
Unfortunately I think he may be right this time.
Trading picks and JC for Cutler is exactly the kind of move Snyder & Cerrato love to make.
God how I loathe what Snyder does to my team.
Unfortunately
I agree with you.
Most of the the talk revolves around how we dont have enough to make this trade happen. I say hogwash, we have a full card of draft picks for the next 10 years that im sure Snyderatto is willing to dig into.

“Coach Jim Zorn said at the annual league meeting last week that the Redskins weren’t among the teams pursuing a trade for Cutler,” writes Maske. “But that hasn’t stopped the speculation linking the club to Cutler. Zorn also said that any NFL coach would have to contemplate the possibilities if the Broncos called and offered Cutler in a trade. One problem for the Redskins is that their options are limited because of a lack of draft picks. And it isn’t like Jason Campbell played poorly in his first year with Zorn. It says here that the Redskins trading for Cutler is a long shot, but they’re included on the list because so many others are convinced they’ll be a factor in this.”

Cutler??? Here we go again!
Snyder has been a name chaser every since he’s been the ‘skins owner. Why change now.Go ahead get another trophy name. He got Deion w/ a bad foot when Dallas was done with him, Bruce Smith on the backside of his career, just picked up a 35 yr. old defensive end that served as a backup on his last 2 teams. The management/drafting of this redskin crap is worst than a fantasy football team. They basically gave away a runningback that tore it up during last pre-season and kept Cartwright. Thrash and Randle El haven’t caught 70 passes between the both of them since they’ve been on the team. Smoot,a poor man Deion. He has the mouth but no coverage skills. Thought they saw that when they got rid of him the 1st time. Washington seem as though they strive and thrive to be mediocre. If you want a good payday and you only have 6 months left in your football career, come to Washington. I think Neon Deion and Bruce are still being counted under the salary cap!!
JDUB
why so much hate. i know snyder has made a several bad decisions in the past but comm on all he is doing is trying to do his best to make his team more competitive. it is so easy to hate on snyder but please stop bringing up DEON hey faggg that was years ago. com on do you really we can win a super bowl with JC at the helm??? although i even hate the idea of no continuity but i have to admit that with Cutler under center are chances of winning a super bowl triple plus its not like Clinton is getting any younger. hell be done in 3 years if he’s LUCKY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HTTR!!!! Dont get any Better.....ST21 fo life
