Brandon Marshall is coming to the New York Jets, assuming he passes his physical. Could Jay Cutler be on the way, too? It's a natural question, considering Marshall and Cutler spent three seasons together with the Chicago Bears and another three together with the Denver Broncos before that. Cutler also still hasn't received a public vote of confidence from the Bears' new regime. There have been rumblings about a possible trade, but know this: Marshall's soon-to-be former quarterback won't be coming to the Jets. They have no interest in trading for the diva QB. The Bears have to make a decision soon -- by next Thursday, actually. If Cutler still is on the Bears' roster, it triggers a $10 million guarantee for the 2016 season. His $15.5 million salary for 2015 already is guaranteed. Even if the Bears want to trade, it will be hard to find someone willing to take on that much money for a talented, but turnover-prone, passer. The Jets have Geno Smith and will look to add a veteran, but it won't be Cutler. It's probably just as well. The Cutler-Marshall relationship deteriorated last season, according to reports out of Chicago.
