Numbers not reported yet just the 7 years... Heard it on DP this morning

I bet/hope that they backloaded the contract and didn't have much garaunteed money

[bballs84]

They were taking guesses on O/U 115 Mil

Move makes sense even though Cuntler will always be a loser.
They don't have any other moves.
If they want to waste time using a guy like Mccown who they also know isn't the guy, they will have to use a pick on a qb-weak draft.
The NFL is tough for offensive free agency.
Big name QB's/WR's/RB's don't leave their teams. They are all locked up long-term and only get cut when they don't perform and aren't worth shit by then.
Contracts in the NFL are the absolute worst compared to any sport by the way. Cutler is a perfect example. 7 years, he will be cut in about 2 or 3 and the teams won't be obligated to pay him anyways.

2014 + 7 = the year the bears have their next shot at a superbowl

Never been healthy!?!? Since becoming an NFL starter he's made 104 starts and missed 13. That's 89%.

Very good news for the Bears, though haven't seen terms yet. I think they did the 7 years to spread out the cap hit.

I trust Emery to fix the D like he did the O. Jay Cutler will win a Super Bowl with the Bears.

[Vinnie Paz]

Guaranteed money is what really matters

[VegasInsider]

Yeah, the 7 years meaning nothing. It's essentially what they're going to guarantee him that matters.

[Chi_archie]

2014 draft is weak at QB?

yea unless youre in the top 5 which chi isn't.

Jay Cutler will win a Super Bowl with the Bears.

Homer detected. Cutler is a loser and a disaster who couldn't win a Super Bowl quarterbacking the '85 Bears, much less now. This is common knowledge.

[Chi_archie]

yea unless youre in the top 5 which chi isn't.

yeah, Emory just said in press conference they will be focusing on defense in this draft anyways.

I think they will pay a little extra and re-sign McCown and feel okay for a year and draft some project type QB's in 2015 and hope to develop them slowly

im a bears fan as well. just wondering do you work for the bears press relations committee?

[packerd_00]

Whats he done to warrant seven years,doesnt surprise me though,seems like alot of these teams love a interception prone QB.

Thats being kind.

[k13]

Some teams just never like winning...

[thebestthereis]

Thats being kind.

that is when the door opens, they may still never win but with cutler it certainly isn't happening that is a fact. he will put up numbers no doubt and the bears will be in the nfc north hunt every year but whatever team he is on isn't winning a thing. good for him getting the cash, the bears had no choice really.

[VegasInsider]

Reported he's getting $50 Million guaranteed

Per year average is just a little more than Stafford's deal, about $17.6M/per

[packerd_00]

GB fans are so spoilt, well never understand the pain the Lions and Bears fans feel.

I agree the mans been around a long time know,weve seen his stengths and weaknesses,can throw a perfect spiral but is far to erractic to be a succesfull playoff QB throws far to many wild passes that end up getting picked off. Atleast he's a better bargain then Stafford.

[SteveRyan]

Unfukkinbelieveable.

[Chi_archie]

This team would be a dangerous threat in the playoffs if two pro bowl defense players hadn't been sidelined for the season.


or Robbie Gould hadn't missed a gimme FG in OT vs Detroit.

the offense is scary good.

[jimminn]

Bears were stupid enough to start Cutler in the play-off games, makes sense they like losing!!!

[VegasInsider]

What happens to that back up now?? The way he played, I'd be wanting out of Chicago

[d2bets]

You're not Josh McCown. He said he'd like to stay as backup. He also said he was considering retiring. I suspect they'll sign him to a one-year deal - maybe 2 mil or so, just a guess. Nobody's going to offer him a big multi-year deal, just not going to happen. Like Matt Flynn in GB, he belongs in Chicago as a backup and anything else is a mistake for both sides.

well said!

[oiler]

yeah the offense is scary but so is their lack of defense.thats even more scarier

[Chi_archie]

but we are moaning about keeping a part of that scary offense on and not talking about the defense?

[RyanLeafOfBets]

I read something earlier where it said most of the guaranteed money was going to be paid out over the first 3 years, so they could get out of it after 3 relatively cheap... If that's the case, probably not a bad idea.
