Quarterback Brian Hoyer gives Chicago Bears needed momentum

That might be the only reason, but at this point I don't think it's needed. Teams know what Cutler is and isn't. So not sure how tradeable he really is. Unlike Romo and Jones there is no QB controversy Romo is his starting qb(even if not true) If he wanted to he could now trade Romo. Fox has ruined that. 

I'm one that still thinks Cutler has some trade value, though it's not a very high value. I'd rather have a 6th or 7th round draft pick than just cutting him if the offer is there. This of course is me assuming a team would have interest.

I still think Cutler has value for a team as a solid back up or replacement for an injury. I can't help but think of the Vikings situation when Bridgewater got hurt and they traded for Bradford. It seemed like a bad until it turned into a brilliant idea. What if a team is in playoff contention and their starting QB goes done and they don't have a good enough back up. I think it's possible they would have a good amount of interest in Cutler. It's possible they could get a third round pick for him then.

The Browns are always dumb enough.

Kyle Long has been vocal about Jay Cutler not getting protection the first two games. Does Cutler really not get a shot now that line has improved? If a guy like Sam Bradford nets first- and fourth-round picks, wouldn't the Bears be better showcasing Cutler for a team like Miami or Cleveland? -- @tommy_Dobbs

Long has pointed out the obvious that the offensive line has done a better job the last couple weeks as the new faces have settled in. You figured it would take some time and it has. I think it’s also worth pointing out that Brian Hoyer isn’t prone to holding the ball as long as Cutler did. You’ve lost me on your trade scenario. Just because it sounds like a steal of a deal for the Bears to ship Cutler to the Browns or Dolphins, what makes that a good move for them as well? Unfortunately, most of the trade suggestions in the mailbag are based on what I consider one-way deals. It’s a great deal for one team and a fleecing for the other. The Browns have been mired in quarterback hell and look like the favorite to land the No. 1 pick in the draft. Why would they want a 34-year-old Cutler next season? I’m not going to play connect-the-dots with Cutler and Dolphins coach Adam Gase either. I believe I wrote in the Mailbag last week that I don’t necessarily see a reunion happening for them.


Given the shortage of talent leaguewide at quarterback and cornerback are Jay Cutler and Kyle Fuller of any value in a trade? -- @ksawilchik



Trading Cutler is going to be difficult if not impossible for the Bears because there isn’t a team in desperate need of a quarterback right now. Trading a 34-year-old quarterback after the season could prove impossible when you consider he’s due to earn $15 million next season in base salary and per-game roster bonuses in 2017. Would Cutler draw interest on the open market? Sure. Would a team want to fork over a draft pick for him and pay that contract when he’d probably be only a stop-gap measure for them? I tend to doubt it. As far as Fuller, the Bears are not going to be able to deal him until he’s healthy. It looks like Fuller could spend this entire season on injured reserve given the more recent injury to Kevin White. I’d hesitate to speculate on what the Bears could get in return for Fuller. He certainly can play but I don’t know that he’d bring a lot in return. The Browns dumped cornerback Justin Gilbert, drafted ahead of Fuller in 2014, to the Steelers for a sixth-round draft pick in 2018.
