Jay Cutler, quarterback, Chicago Bears
The Bears are desperately looking for a trade partner to rid themselves of Jay Cutler (more on that here).
It’s not happening.
The 33-year-old quarterback spent most of last season on IR with an injury to his shoulder. On that note, it could be argued that Cutler is actually injury prone, as he hasn’t played in a full season since 2009.
When healthy, Cutler still displays all the arm talent that has enamored scouts for years. But at the same time, he hasn’t evolved away from being the guy who cannot stop throwing interceptions. In 139 career games, Cutler has thrown 146 interceptions.
All this makes Cutler untradeable. And on top of it all, he’s due to count $16 million against the cap in 2017. The Bears can save $14 million in cap space by releasing him. He’ll be 34 when the 2017 season begins. Chicago is almost certainly going to release him this spring.
