In a statement late Tuesday, owner Pat Bowlen announced that the Broncos will attempt to trade Jay Cutler. SI.com's Peter King reports that the team plans to execute a deal before the April 25-26 NFL Draft.
"Numerous attempts to contact Jay Cutler in the last 10 days, both by Head Coach Josh McDaniels and myself, have been unsuccessful," Bowlen said. "His agent earlier today clearly communicated and confirmed to us that Jay no longer has any desire to play for the Denver Broncos. We will begin discussions with other teams in an effort to accommodate his request." The Jets, Lions, and Bucs will likely be Cutler's most ardent suitors.
The 49ers, Bears, Panthers, Redskins, and Vikings may also show interest.
