With the Jay Cutler-Denver Broncos relationship falling apart like Matt Millen in a chess game (or a draft room), many have speculated that Cutler could end up in Minnesota by way of a trade. While it's true that the Vikings would greatly benefit from what many consider (present company not included) a bona-fide superstar at QB, don't look for this transaction to take place. One year ago the Vikings traded a fortune of draft picks for Jared Allen. If the Vikings send the Broncos a buttload of draft picks this year behind the thinking that they're "one player away", how many people would cry "Herschel Walker trade!" when they don't win the Super Bowl next year?
Keep two things in mind when pondering this trade (when you should be working):
1. Minnesota already traded for a QB this offseason: Sage Rosenfels. That might not instill a lot of fear into you Bears' fans out there, but there ya go.
2. Cutler has proven himself to be a major pain-in-the-butt far more undeniably than he has proved himself to be an effective NFL quarterback, and it would take moving some MAJOR draft pieces to acquire him.
While it's not a safe bet to assume that Jay Cutler will end up in Minnesota, don't discount Martin Mayhew and Shack Harris over in Detroit. Calvin Johnson, Ernie Sims and all of the Lions' draft picks for Cutler sounds like something they'll offer.
