A Crazy Prediction That Might Come True - EJ Manuel Gets Traded

[BillsImpossible]

To the Chicago Bears for Jay Cutler.

"Holy @#%t"

I know, right? Just kind of dawned on me.

Chicago just got rid of Cutler's favorite target in Brandon Marshall for a 5th round draft pick.

I think they're in tank mode. Their defense is so bad and old, there's no way they can win in 2015.

Bills fans would be happy to get Cutler, Bears fans would be happy to see Cutler gone.

Win win?

After Bears trade Brandon Marshall, is Jay Cutler next to go?

[Ginger Vitis]

Crazy is the right word.. And Im not referring to the prediction

[Albany,n.y.]

No team will trade for Cutler & his contract. He's either stuck in Chicago or gets released & then the signing team can negotiate their own contract.

[Novacane]

Bills are not taking on that contract. Do you really have to make a new thread for every random thought that comes into your head?

The Bills just made a player for player trade with McCoy and Alonso.

Latest word is that McCoy and the Bills are very close to a NEW CONTRACT.

Hello! Let me say that again.

New contract. There, that's better.

Sources tell @FOXSports1 (https://twitter.com/FOXSports1) LeSean McCoy and the Bills are close on a new contract. Expected to be agreed to before trade is official Tues.

[Novacane]

McCoy is getting an extension. Cutler would need to take a big pay CUT! It's not happening!

[Mr. Pink]

Your threads and ideas just get worse and worse.

But they're good comedy, so keep it up!

[BillsImpossible]

No team will trade for Cutler & his contract. He's either stuck in Chicago or gets released & then the signing team can negotiate their own contract.

Contracts are never really set in NFL stone. They are often renegotiated.

When a player gets traded to another team, their contract goes out the window.

Which is why the Bills are currently signing LeSean McCoy to a brand new contract.

Thanks.

No, it absolutely does not. Both parties have to be willing to renegotiate the players current contract. McCoy probably wants to because he only has 1 mil guaranteed for the next 3 years. Cutler is in a different boat altogether.

I was never a fan of the Washington Post either.

You said the magic word!

Renegotiate.

If the Bears choose not to have Cutler's services in 2015, do you honestly think any team is going to pay him $19 million?

[Joe Fo Sho]

No, but that's not Cutler's problem, it's the Bears problem.

[BillsImpossible]

McCoy is getting an extension. Cutler would need to take a big pay CUT! It's not happening!

An, 'extension,' really?

If Peyton Manning can take a $4 million pay CUT, it could be happening sooner that you think is possible.

Tom Brady had a pay CUT too.

But of course, Jay Cutler is immune to such things.

Why so serious?

[BillsImpossible]

No, but that's not Cutler's problem, it's the Bears problem.

Not For Long.

[Joe Fo Sho]

Not For Long.

Even if traded, the problem stays with his new team, not with Cutler. Cutler can get his money if he wants it.

[YardRat]

I could see Cutler re-structuring. I could see him getting cut. I really can't see a one-to-one trade for EJ.

[BillsImpossible]

Even if traded, the problem stays with his new team, not with Cutler. Cutler can get his money if he wants it.

All he has to do is stand on the NFL corner and demand his own price, right?

[Joe Fo Sho]

All he has to do is stand on the NFL corner and demand his own price, right?

He already did that, it's his current contract.

[BillsImpossible]

He already did that, it's his current contract.

You already admitted that contracts can be renegotiated, so why can't Jay Cutler's contract be renegotiated with the Buffalo Bills?

Because he's just that good?

Manning and Brady can take a pay cut, but Cutler can't?

That doesn't make sense. Cutler isn't better than Brady or Manning.

Do you think any team in the NFL would pay Cutler his current salary if traded?

Please answer that question.

You're sick in the head.

Please answer that question.

It wouldn't surprise me if there were a couple of teams willing to. I don't know who they are though.

My only point is that if Cutler wants to get paid, he can. He doesn't have to take a pay cut and I don't see why he would be willing to do that.

[BillsImpossible]

You're sick in the head.

Answer the question, BertSquirminator!

After 15 years at sea, I think we're all a little loco en el cabeza.

Would you trade EJ for Cutler and his mult-bagillion dollar contract?

[BillsImpossible]

Maybe because he didn't play so great last year?

He was good, but not worth $19 million.

Cutler is above average, but he's not great either.

Are you willing to take a pay cut at your job if you under perform even though your contract doesn't require you to?

I wouldn't, **** that.

[BillsImpossible]

I wouldn't, **** that.

Doesn't matter what I think, all that matters is what the new owner of my contract thinks.

[Joe Fo Sho]

Doesn't matter what I think, all that matters is what the new owner of my contract thinks.

That actually doesn't matter at all.

You realize that the new owner of Cutler's contract, if traded for, is required to abide by every clause in his current contract?

[BillsImpossible]

Tell that to LeSean McCoy and his agent.

[sudzy]

What makes you think they (or any other team) would be interested in EJ?

[Joe Fo Sho]

Tell that to LeSean McCoy and his agent.

Holy crap.

LeSean is benefiting from a new contract, as there will probably be more money guaranteed than the 1 million that's currently guaranteed. LeSean in no way is being forced to sign a new contract.

[BillsImpossible]

What makes you think they (or any other team) would be interested in EJ?

Good question.

EJ Manuel is a mystery.

Some people have said that Manuel's progress was stymied by Marrone and his ultra conservative approach on offense.

He's signing a new contract.

[Joe Fo Sho]

He's signing a new contract.

For corn's sake..

[BillsImpossible]

For corn's sake..

Is McCoy not signing a new contract, or are the Bills just playing patty cake?

[Joe Fo Sho]

Is McCoy not signing a new contract, or are the Bills just playing patty cake?

The rumor is they are, yeah. Which has no relevance as to whether or not Cutler would be willing to.

[BillsImpossible]

Holy crap.

LeSean is benefiting from a new contract, as there will probably be more money guaranteed than the 1 million that's currently guaranteed. LeSean in no way is being forced to sign a new contract.

A new contract?

Stop contradicting yourself.

[Joe Fo Sho]

A new contract?

Stop contradicting yourself.

Do you need help? You seem to be struggling.

[BillsImpossible]

Holy crap.

LeSean is benefiting from a new contract, as there will probably be more money guaranteed than the 1 million that's currently guaranteed.

LeSean in no way is being forced to sign a new contract.

Who do you think you are, Mitt Romney?

[Joe Fo Sho]

Who do you think you are, Mitt Romney?

You don't understand that both of those statements are true?

[BillsImpossible]

You don't understand that both of those statements are true?

I believe your contrived statements about as much as I believe in global warming.

You like to have it both ways though, so I'm screwed either way.

[Skooby]

We'd need a first back for EJ, considering he'll never play in the NFL again.

[BillsImpossible]

Do you need help? You seem to be struggling.

Self projection.

[Joe Fo Sho]

I believe your contrived statements about as much as I believe in global warming.

You don't believe in global warming?

I guess now I understand why you aren't comprehending what I'm saying.

Contracts go out the window? Lol. What the hell are you talking about, kid?
