BOOM.. . JAY 7 for 126.. . Congrats now let's go win. #beardown

 

Yeah let's go win...in like 9 freaking months ugh. NFL offseasons are so long.

 

and ESPN will cover every single day of it

[Soul]

God, depressing. Bears have a lot of work to do though, so it will at least be a very interesting period.

Cutler has the highest total value contract of all NFL QB's.

 

Tied with Aaron Rodgers in guaranteed money.

 

#6 in average money per year.

 

EDIT: Apparently those numbers aren't right.

[minnesotacubsfan]

I wonder if we could dump Podlesh and sign Chris Kluwe

Apparently the guaranteed numbers there weren't right...they're parsed to "fully guaranteed" or something. Rodgers has $62.5 guaranteed. Cutler is more like #7 in guaranteed money.

-What has he done to earn this?

-Best move Green Bay will make all offseason

-He doesn't deserve Manning, Brady, Brees money

 

Bears fans are stupid.

[Guest]

no one will be signing him

Ugh, McNeil on the radio with his "signature games" diatribe too. Makes me want to punch him in the damn face.

 

At least he did say that he wanted the Bears to bring back Cutler. He just wanted the franchise year rather than this.

[Banedon]

Jay Cutler getting that long an extension is one of the dumbest personnel moves a team has ever made.

Congrats #Bears for re-signing Jay Cutler, even though your backup led the NFL in QBR and your defense can't stop an overweight slug.

Well, if I wasn't convinced the FO made the smart play in re-signing Cutler, the fact that Reilly hates it basically seals it.

I love when people complain about the length of NFL contracts.

That's all that matters, thankfully.

54 mil guaranteed to a clown that isn't even close to an elite QB.

Lol if you're being serious.

Im glad to see him signed, it wasnt the best case scenario but it wasnt the worst either. Wouldve preferred franchising and developing a QB, I definitely think it's too much guaranteed given his injury rate.

Isn't that Erik's alias?

That would make a lot of sense.

[davell]

Rodgers 62.5 guaranteed, Brees 60, Ryan 59, Peyton 58, Brady 57, Romo 55, Jay 54, Flacco 52, Bradford 50, Stafford 41.5.

 

Definitely a fair deal for Jay and Bears.

I don't know what an injury rate is but Cutler has been healthy enough to play more than most other QBs during his career.

[jersey cubs fan]

Rodgers 62.5 guaranteed, Brees 60, Ryan 59, Peyton 58, Brady 57, Romo 55, Jay 54, Flacco 52, Bradford 50, Stafford 41.5.

 

Definitely a fair deal for Jay and Bears.

 

I've already seen people fret over this being too long at 7 years, and for being worth more than Flacco in total despite being spread over more years.

 

 

People are dumb.

Only 3 NFL QB's have played more games than Jay Cutler (95) since 2007.

 

Jay has started 109 games and missed 12. Aaron Rodgers has started 89 games and missed 9.

[SABR Gamer]

It's really amazing just how dumb most people are.

 

Is there a dumber collective group in the American sports world than Chicago sports fans and media? New York is also terrible, but Chicago seems like it's on it's own level of stupidity.

 

I mean, it's possible it just feels that way because it's the teams I follow, but sometimes I really think it's that bad.
