Probably pure speculation at best. In the article he seemed to think we would just let Jay go (no trade). He mentions his injuries and that he threw more ints than TDs last year... and of course his age.
"Monday Morning Quarterback’s Peter King said he’s “not going to be shocked” if Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler “ends up in Arizona.”
Name the counter-culture coach who likes to take shots on guys hated by lots of down-the-middle coaches and GMs, who is the biggest proponent of the deep ball of any coach in football, and who may need said deep ball thrower because his quarterback turns 38 this year. I think I just made a Bruce Arians-Jay Cutler marriage—and Arizona can wait until the Bears cut him and sign Cutler for two years and incentives. This doesn’t mean Arizona won’t aggressively scout college kids though.
Playing with King’s idea of a “Bruce Arians-Jay Cutler marriage,” it could be wise to have a seasoned veteran on the team as Carson Palmer enters his 15th season, as veteran backup Drew Stanton and unproven Zac Dysert are the only other quarterbacks on the roster."
The 33-year-old Cutler is no spring chicken himself; however, and his play took a major step back in 2016. He threw more interceptions (five) than touchdowns (four) for the first time in his career and missed 11 games with thumb and shoulder injuries.
It seems likely that the Bears will release Cutler this offseason, as the team is looking to go a different route at quarterback next season.

he threw 5 ints and 4 tds. he was injured most of the season and put some really bad games together with one lights out game. that is an incomplete season. Cutler is what he is, a middle tier QB. Palmer is coming back too, no? No team would need to trade for Cutler, they'd wait for the bears to cut him. Unless you think a coach out their is looking to get Cutler in as early as possible no trade required. 49ers are the only team i could think of doing that, and it's not likely.
I don't think we would see a Cutler-Airens marriage. They are both currently married to other people and I'm sure that Goodell Has some sort of fine against that sort of thing. Or maybe not since it has nothing to do with air pressure.
I think this is the perfect match. I think Arizona, Kansas City, and Houston are the perfect destinations for Cutler.
I can see Arizone b/c they want to go deep, but I don't see it in KC; most likely is Houston though, Arizona still has Palmer, and its not like Cutler is much younger then him and Palmer is still a far better qb then Cutler. Palmer would have to be hurt or retire for that move to make sense.
