It's a guessing game. Schefter and Cole say they haven't heard anything. Rapoport says the league knows he's available and the Titans are interested. Dan says they're pushing hard to trade him. No matter what happens, everybody's right in the end.

It isn't a guessing game. All you have to do is see how Cutler has been talked about by pretty much everyone who is now running the Bears.

The Bears have to officially deny it in case they can't trade him and decide to keep him. Mort even wrote it in a way that basically lays that out there by saying "one source". This keeps up the trade value more because if teams think he will be cut then they aren't giving up much.

@adamjahns: No need for this, but re: @mortreport on Cutler, two separate team sources say it will be very surprising if he isn't #Bears QB in 2015.

Cutler was apparently in the building last week working with Gase. And no way Terry has a Bears source, especially after all the changes.

I'm sure the Bears have listened, and would trade Cutler for the right price... But I'm also pretty confident Dan and Terry are making shit up.

So you are saying the Bears aren't trying to trade Cutler because they haven't literally locked him out of the facility?

Of course he still may be the Bears QB in 2015. That is a big contract and at least so far they don't seem willing to simply release him. You can tell from how they have talked from the beginning though that they see a Cutlerless future for this team. It just may not be this year.

Of course he still may be the Bears QB in 2015.

It's amazing how much of a fanboy you are of Dan that you literally can't entertain the option he's making shit up.

I'm responding to your thoughts and not Dans. You cited the fact that Cutler was not barred from the building!

Yea, it's been in a bunch of articles today, like this one http://chicago.suntimes.com/bears-footb ... ree-agency.

It's meaningful. Are most players in the building this past week? I honestly don't know. I assumed it was somewhat of an exception.

This is why the Fox/Gase/Fangio hires weren't the right move. They don't want to rebuild. Keeping Cutler means they think they can win in 2015.

Using 2015 as a transition year and getting a nice draft pick to draft Cutler's replacement is the way to go.

That article was citing the Mort article.

I would guess almost every qb in the league is but especially with a new coaching staff.

The way they have talked for weeks though about him indicates that Cutler isn't the long term guy here.

Chris Mortensen vs. Dan Bernstein. It's on!!!!

One source was adamant that there was "absolutely zero truth" to recent reports that Cutler was being actively shopped for trade.

If you don't think the Bears are trying to trade Cutler right now you are quite frankly an idiot.

@Hub_Arkush: Knowledgeable analysts have reported for 2 months Cutler Bears QB in '15. Nothing's changed. No story here. Pace took time 'cause he could.

Tell that to Bernsie and his lapdog Brick.

Source: Minimal NFL interest in Cutler so far, despite well-known availability. #Bears would "put on happy face" publicly if he stays.

Damn, that is a shot at Bernstein

Definitely. But I'm sure Hub will giggle and backpedal his way out of any potential confrontation the next time he's on their show.
