I really don't think the move to the Bears will make all that much difference. If he stayed in Denver and had a similar season in 2009 he was going to get a market rate contract. He might wind up making more if he turns into a super bowl winning and/or HOF caliber QB in Chicago rather than Denver, based on other sources of income, but not football contract. Then again, it's not like Elway lacked for outside revenue sources. If Cutler were to keep up the same pace as he had last season (which is probably a stretch), he would have the most passing yards in Bears history after Game 4 of his 4th season with the Bears. Not that that alone makes him a HOF QB...but it was an interesting tidbit I read somewhere.
