According to Brad Biggs of Nationalfootballpost.com, QB Jay Cutler will receive $30 million for the two additional seasons with $20 million of it guaranteed in the form of bonus money.
He is now signed through 2013 instead of 2011, where he was at the beginning of the year. He was still on his rookie deal and now both sides win because Cutler gets $20 million guaranteed and the Bears don’t have to pay him Eli Manning money.
This move made sense because Cutler is obviously the future of this team, but the Bears had $15 million in salary cap space.
Good move by the Bears to extend Cutler, before they had to pay him too much.
He will be a star in this league for years.
A star? A star? With his 20-23 starting record, 28 INT's, terrible record in the red zone...even the league recognizes that Cutler is a mediocre QB at best...he's ranked 16th among NFL QB's. The job of a QB is to win and Cutler has yet to beat a winning team this season (Pittsburgh was 1-1 when the Bears beat them). He was the reason Shanahan was fired. Believe me, at the end of the year, Cutler will be proclaimed the hero in Chicago and they will have a mediocre record and be out of the playoffs. No one will blame Cutler but it will be his fault. Talk to Denver fans...they thought Cutler was their hero until a new coach who understood TEAM-football came in, dumped Cutler's sorry ass and brought in a REAL QB who was a team leader. Look at Cutler's stats...even Orton has more YPA. If Cutler is so much better than Orton on the long ball, why does Orton have more yards per attempt and why has Orton completed more 20 and 40 yard passes? Don't get caught up in all the hype...take a lesson from Denver.
