Jay Cutler An Option For Jets After Release From Bears?

“I’m more confident in my abilities”. If you watch end-zone film of Flacco, there are times when you go, ‘Wow!’ when he snaps one off.

Maybe it was because media members aren’t used to that from a Bears starting quarterback.

The Buccaneers likely were expecting to lose Glennon this offseason in free agency and signed Sean Renfree in late January to fill out the quarterback depth chart behind Winston. All of these things are more or less true.

Citing multiple league sources, Yahoo Sport’s Charles Robinson said Glennon was expected to get $14-15 million per year. Fox unraveled all the positive work that was done when he refused to say Cutler would regain his starting job after being sidelined an early-season thumb injury.

Quarterback Mike Glennon had an unusual request for general manager Ryan Pace shortly after agreeing to a three-year contract with the Bears.

There are 22 quarterbacks who entered this week on deals for 2017 averaging more than $16 million per year.

Glennon’s deal also illustrates a competitive advantage for the New England Patriots.

This move is something that can set the franchise back even more than it now is.

According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, the Bears are releasing QB Jay Cutler at his request and the Jets top the list of team’s that will be interested in Cutler’s services.

Let’s take a look at Sanchez’s four years as Jets starter compared to Cutler’s first four years as a starter for the Bears. Over the course of 102 regular season games, he became the team leader in touchdown passes (154), completion percentage (60.2), passing yards (23,443), total completions (2,020) and quarterback rating (85.2). Hoyer is a solid option and a shrewd choice by the 49ers, yet he’s also 31 and the most known commodity imaginable. The Bears might cut Eddie Royal due to injuries, and Marquess Wilson isn’t worth re-signing due to the same reason as Royal. But it’s less money than Brock Osweiler (Texans) and Tyrod Taylor (Bills) got in their big contracts, and it’s considerably more than the $8-million the Bucs were offering to make him the league’s highest-paid backup.

“If you want a recent comparison, I don’t think the similarities to Joe Flacco are unfair, ” Gruden said. Glennon hasn’t started a game since November 2, 2014, but now he is in charge of the Bears’ offense, and he wanted to show command from the get-go. That’s how Chicago reached this point.

Cutler can probably still be effective as a starter assuming his surgically repaired right shoulder is fully healed, but he doesn’t make sense for this team at this time.

A Bleacher Report story a year ago claimed that Cutler had lost the Bears locker room with an unnamed player criticizing the quarterback’s lack of preparation in the run-up to a blowout loss.
