The drama that is the relationship between the Denver Broncos and starting quarterback Jay Cutler raged on in the Rockies Monday. While the quarterback-needy New York Jets seem like a likely landing spot for Cutler, they would be a long shot at best according to the New York Times.
The Times reported general manager Mike Tannenbaum was expected to do due diligence on Cutler, much like he did before the Jets obtained Brett Favre. Favre and Cutler are represented by the same agent.
The Times noted that if the Jets' interest in Cutler takes a more serious turn, they will most likely need to involve a third team in order to complete a trade. The Broncos will want a proven quarterback in return for Cutler, and the Jets do not have one on their roster.
The Broncos can trade Cutler, or force him to play out the six-year, $48 million deal he signed in 2006.
