Cutler to Redskins?
Bob Ford, Inquirer Sports Columnist
That's the hot rumor/assumption/falsehood of the day in the continuing saga of whether the Denver Broncos will grant quarterback Jay Cutler's trade request.
Washington is allegedly trying to put together a three-team quarterback merry-go-round in which Cutler would end up in Washington, Matt Cassel in Denver and Jason Campbell in Kansas City.
The 'Skins are denying they have any intention of dumping Campbell, which shows they were paying attention when the Broncos got themselves into this mess to begin with. New coach Josh McDaniels, formerly QB coach and offensive coordinator for the Patriots, actively tried to trade Cutler for Cassel last month, didn't succeed, then lied about it.
If the Broncos do trade Cutler, it would seem logical that a 32-year-old head coach would want a young quarterback around whom to build the offense for years to come. There is no indication that gettting a veteran like Donovan McNabb would interest Denver, except perhaps as a last resort, and absolutely no indication the Eagles are contemplating making a bid for Cutler.
Out in Denver, opinion is evenly divided. In one camp, as indicated by this column written by the fabulous Dave Krieger, are the folks who say good quarterbacks are hard to find, so hold onto this one. In the other camp, as voiced in this column by Mark Kiszla, are those who don't care so much for petulant, spoiled athletes.
There's a lot of that going around.

lonewolf...go away.— palmyra21- ( ( ( WHATEVER ) ) ) I would love to meet these people who start rumors so I can slap them with a pie, cause there a bunch of clowns!— Sheed

- Why would Kansas City do this? They just got the guy they want.— cm128
Racist Lonewolf go away your missing the clan meet and greet!- KC is going to give up the guy they wanted and got for a steal??? Can't see that ever happening.— jjvas1
Non story. Not worth my time.— tpizza- I agree with cm128. Why would the Chiefs trade Cassell let alone to a team in their own division? Andy wouldn't do that, he only trades draft picks within the division.— va philly fan
- Hey, you guys don't know the real motivation behind the lonelywolf rants - it's the secret mancrush he as on McNabb!— lalaw9833

- LONEWOLF IS THE WORST, HIM AND TODD PINKSTON, AND REGGIE BROWN AND LONWOLF— coachbarnes10
- Eagle fan in Denver, get Cutler, trade Mcnabb!! I have been a big fan of Mcnabb, but cut are ties and bring in a young guy! Cutler has never liked Denver, he put up his house for sale and his downtown Denver condo is next. Even if we got Mcnabb weapons, he will still find a way to get hurt.— cote32
- I want to make sure I've got this straight - this rumor is that the Chiefs are going to help resolve what could potentially be a season-killing QB/coach dispute for one of their key divisional rivals by trading the QB they just acquired by facilitating a trade of Cutler to a team that can't afford to pay him...and what they get in return is JASON CAMPBELL? I think you've got a better shot of seeing Donovan hire lonewolf as his new agent than of seeing this deal go down, Mr. Ford.— JLB
- This story is more boring than my job.... back to work I go.— Phront_Runner
