Back in February there were some rumors that Jay Cutler was almost traded to the Lions. At that time I was thinking: damn that’d be sweet. It would have fixed one of the Lions’ major problems: whose going to play quarterback, and do we need to draft one #1 overall this year?

Well, rumors were reported (even though I can’t find them in print yet) today on 97.1 The Ticket that Jay Cutler spoke with his new head coach – former New England Patriots Offensive Coordinator Josh McDaniels – recently and that it “did not go well”.

Man, I’d trade the #1 pick today, right now for Jay Cutler. Why?? Because we’d know who is starting, he’s a proven decent Quarterback – and, we would not have to commit the 50 million dollar contract to Georgia’s Matt Stafford or some other player whose not proven.

If they do end up keeping the pick, neither QB (Stafford or USC’s Mark Sanchez) are #1 draft picks anyways and I would draft Aaron Curry.

Please, please get Jay Cutler!
