Wow. This is getting funnier by the minute. First he whines about Shanahan, then he asks to be traded quietly, then he's publicly outraged when the team complies with his original request, so he then re-requests to be traded more publicly. What the hell is going on here?
This is a circus I want no part of. Cutler is coming off as a crybaby primadonna and Bus Cook seems to be mishandling him. WTF??
REPORT: COOK WAS “BEGGING” FOR CUTLER TRADE

A couple of weeks ago, Peter King of SI.com reported, almost in passing, that Broncos quarterback
Jay Cutler asked to be traded after quarterbacks coach Jeremy Bates left for USC. If true, this would make Cutler’s outrage over nearly being traded a tad, shall we say, phony.
Now, John Czarnecki of FOXSports.com adds some meat to the bone, reporting that agent
Bus Cook was “begging” the Broncos to trade Cutler before the failed attempt to send him to a new team.
“Denver told him no from the beginning,” Czarnecki writes. “But somehow Cook has been able — how hilarious is this? — to paint Cutler as some victim in the cruel world of
NFL
trade talk.”
It’s the perfect setup for one of our new PFTV segments, in which we pin a nice chunk of the blame on the agent whose name rhymes with Pus Book.
