Seems like Cutler might be available.

If Cooley isn't blogging about it then it can't be true.

Do Skins want Cutler?
By John Keim
Examiner Staff Writer 3/18/09

Source says Washington has serious interest in QB
The Redskins have serious interest in Denver quarterback Jay Cutler, an NFL source said Tuesday, and have entered talks about a possible three-way deal to acquire him.

Two NFL sources confirmed the possibility of a three-way trade, with Kansas City being mentioned by one source as a possibility.

“They’re trying to do something,” one NFL source said of the Redskins. “Whether or not it materializes is another matter, but [Redskins owner Dan Snyder] is on this hard. They don’t trust Jason Campbell.”

Cutler is involved in a dispute with Denver after the Broncos had discussions about trading him to New England for quarterback Matt Cassel. First-year Broncos coach Josh McDaniels met with Culter this past weekend. Afterward, Cutler said he could not trust McDaniels and wanted to be traded.

Denver has said they don’t want to trade Cutler for draft picks, meaning the Redskins or the third team would have to surrender at least one top player. The Redskins could also end up with Denver tight end Tony Scheffler, who is represented by the same agent as Culter — Bus Cook.

Fueling the speculation is the close relationship between former Denver coach Mike Shanahan and Redskins executive vice president Vinny Cerrato. Shanahan, who traded several times with Cerrato while with Denver, could provide the endorsement needed for Cutler.

Also, after the season Cerrato gave Campbell a tepid endorsement as Washington’s quarterback of the future. Campbell is entering the last year of his contract and the Redskins have not had discussions about extending his deal.

Cerrato did not immediately return a message Tuesday. Redskins coach Jim Zorn has praised Campbell publicly this offseason.

The strong-armed Cutler, 25, made the Pro Bowl this past season after throwing 25 touchdowns and 18 interceptions. In three seasons he’s tossed 54 touchdowns and 37 interceptions. In 16 games this past season, Campbell threw 13 touchdowns and six interceptions.

Cutler signed a six-year, $48-million contract in 2006. Campbell has a base salary of $2.5 million this season with a cap number of $7.5 million.

Examiner columnist Rick Snider contributed to this report.

Apparently, thebleacherreport is a legitimate source now and no one - the DC Examiner writer, or his editor, noticed that the article was labeled humor. The idiots at extremeskins are having a field day with this.

EDIT: PFT is now saying they heard the Skins were interested in Cutler on Monday. The DC Examiner report seems to be legit, and the Bleacherreport satire seems to have been a joke that just happened to have some truth to it....

I heard John Clayton tonight say that he has heard nothing about the Redskins being interested, but he wouldn't rule them out simply because of Snyder liking the big prize, but again he hasn't heard anything so far.

Newspapers are hurting these days. Nothing like making up "sources" to stir the pot and generate website hits for the vaunted DC Examiner.

My guess is either this is a total fabrication, or the dude who wrote this realized the bleacherreport article was "humor" after posting his article.

There's no way we unload Cooley or Landry, let alone both of them. The cap hit alone would kill us.

[BigHairedAristocrat]

according to pft, cerrato gave danny elfin of the times a denial... sortof

I guess that's what JC meant by shocking changes would be coming out of Redskins park. lol.

Funny. Think about it. The Browns have a top notch QB right now and they would trade him away for JC who isn't bad but the whole deal must be for them to get Cooley. Then you have the Skins getting a not so bad QB in Cutler and a no name TE. Two teams get two people and what does Denver get. One player. I guess Denver would have to be pretty despirate to get Quinn to make a trade like that. Our whole trade would be based around getting a QB who has the same stats as the one we already have so it must be the no name TE we want and need. The Browns would almost make out like bandits but they have other holes to fill also.

It's not true

[WaldSkins]

I think Campbell get's this year to prove himself. If he does decent we sign him long term. If not I think that Zorn will push Brennan hard in the offseason to see if he has what it takes to take the reigns.

i hope not. wouldnt mind cutler but to get rid of cooley
