Cutler Wants To Reunite With Marshall?

After being traded from Denver to Chicago earlier this year, quarterback Jay Cutler reportedly lobbied the Bears to pursue receiver Plaxico Burress. Cutler is now publicly pining (sort of) for another pass-catcher with whom he’s far more acquainted. Cutler recently hinted while attending a youth football camp at William & Mary that he’d like to see the Bears makes a play for Broncos receiver Brandon Marshall. “I played with Brandon for three years and I think he’s one of the best receivers in the NFL,” Cutler told the Daily Press (via the Chicago Tribune). “I think he can be one of the greatest ever to play. He’s big and fast, and can do everything you want him to do, on the field and in the meeting room. “I don’t know what we’re going to do. That’s up to the guys upstairs. If we make a run at him, we make a run at him.” Though the Bears would be a natural fit, given that: (1) they have Cutler; and (2) they don’t have much at receiver, the Broncos have indicated privately that they won’t be trading Marshall. And while the Broncos might not refuse an “offer they can’t refuse” (ergo the name), the Bears don’t have the draft picks to make it happen. Instead, they’d have to likely include established veteran players, like Tommie Harris or Lance Briggs or Brian Urlacher. So it’s unlikely to happen. But Cutler apparently wouldn’t complain if it did.
