Bowlen Says Broncos Will Trade Cutler

Wow. The calendar doesn’t yet say April 1, but we’re not sure that the Broncos haven’t gotten a head start on the process. In a statement released Tuesday night, owner Pat Bowlen says that the team will accommodate quarterback Jay Cutler’s request for a trade: “Numerous attempts to contact Jay Cutler in the last 10 days, both by [coach] Josh McDaniels and myself, have been unsuccessful. “A conversation with 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 to be traded.” Did we say, “Wow”? If there was any doubt, the auction is open. Let the bidding begin.
