Please God, Tampa! Seriously, give them like 1st round this year and a 2nd round next year and a gift basket and throw in a car or something.

I am for this myself. but it sounds like this may build into a 8+ team battle for Cutler.

The bidding war for his services will more than make up for any perceived loss of leverage. Donkos will clean up on a trade if they are smart.

Denver should easily get market value for him, even slightly above. The interest in him will swell beyond current interest when teams realize this is really gonna happen.

Some interesting details coming out. There is a rumor that the Donkos are looking at trading up to get Sanchez (USC). If true that opens up multiple possibilities and would not require a team to give up a qb in return for Cutler. Simms already has Doogie's confidence and could be the guy who keeps the seat warm for up to two years until the new face of the franchise is ready to play ball.
The more I think about Sanchez in Denver the more it makes sense. We should be looking in the top ten teams in the draft and on teams with multiple solid defensive players.

-- Cutler Shocked; Had Planned to Attend April Mini-Camp --
Wed Apr 1, 2009 --from FFMastermind.com
The Denver Post reports QB Jay Cutler had heard about Broncos owner Pat Bowlen's statement Tuesday regarding the fact that Denver will do their best to trade him, but said by text message, "I'm not talking about it." A source close to Cutler said the quarterback was surprised by Bowlen's declaration. In recent days, Cutler had packed up his car in Nashville and had it shipped to Denver, where he intended to show up for the team's first minicamp April 17-19. The source added that Cutler said he has not received phone calls from the Broncos since he received a text from McDaniels a week ago Tuesday. Whatever the interpretation, Bowlen decided to exercise his ownership powers and end all confusion. He's the boss, and he says the team will trade Cutler. Wed Apr 1, 2009 --from FFMastermind.com

If a team want's Cutler and knows that several other teams want Cutler, how in the heck do they plan on "low-balling" an offer to the Bronco's?
If anything, I think this anouncement will "increase" the trade value and teams know that he "will" be traded and may want to grab Cutler before a division rival snatches him up. (CHI vs. DET vs. MIN).
I think this turns into a bidding war ... and the price will end up sky high.

Wait, ... wasn't Cutler the one who requested a trade?
... and now he's "surprised"?
What a jack-ass.
I hope the Jets get him.

I simply love what Cutler is doing here. The team went behind his back, and he is making them pay dearly for this.
It is true that players have to expect to be traded at any time, but when something like this happens between head coach and quarterback, there is simply no way that the quarterback can remain on the team as long as the coach is there.
If the coach doesn't have faith in you as a quarterback, you are not going to succeed. It can easily be a career ending combination if you stick around. Cutler had to get out, and the only way to ensure that was going to happen was to act like a complete jackass.

Yeah, he's probably not nearly the jackass that he's made himself out to be. It was all staged so he could get out of DEN and play for a contender like the NYJ, SF ... or DET. :biglaugh:

Wasn't Chris Simms playing well for TB as thier starter before the spleen injury?
I could see him as the next Matt Cassel. Heck, he was probably drafted higher... and he has more experiance than Cassel had when he started last season.
DEN should use the soon to be aquired draft picks on players other than QB.
