well you answered your own question thereThe question is, why? I don't see Cutler as a marked improvement over Tannehill. In fact with his injury history, Cutler is probably worse.
I agree with you, they should just take whatever deal is there they need players at almost every position. They already lived through the worst of the contract though, they can get out of all but $2m of it by cutting him this offseason.The Bears should do whatever trade the Dolphins propose immediately and get Cutler and his bad joke of a contract off the books.
Question (not that this is, or would be, the trade, but this came to mind):
Would trading Tannehill for Cutler constitute a win for each team, or a loss for each team?
From what I can tell Bears would only take a $3m hit by trading Cutler, Miami $9m+ for Tanny. That's significant difference. Cutler's salary is like $16m (guaranteed, too) so Chicago/Miami might have to renegotiate/extend that to fit him under the Dolphins cap. Which seems dumb to do, but hey it's Mike Tannenbaum.Win for both teams. Both teams would take the dead cap hits on their existing guy, but then would be free to cut bait on their new guy with no further cap repercussions. Unless they negotiate extensions as part of the trade.
And if they can get the new guy to perform, so much the better.

Sounds like a description of Cutler to me.I guess the Dolphins are frustrated with their physically talented quarterback who constantly fails to live up to expectations despite the physical tools, struggles to beat good teams, points fingers at others in a constant attempt to save face, gets excuses made for him after every loss, is a polarizing force among teammates and fans, and has a smoking hot wife. So, they are going in another direction by bringing in Jay Cutler.

I expect it would collapse into a singularity, possibly taking the universe with it.Question (not that this is, or would be, the trade, but this came to mind):

And he stinks, the phins would suck just as much with cutler. He has a million dollar arm and a 10 cent brain.Please let this happen, Cutler is a jinks
