Cutler’s long-term status in denver remains up in the air

BasX · Mar 8, 2009

As Broncos coach Josh McDaniels and quarterback Jay Cutler prepare for a Festivus-style airing of grievances at a time when the team insists that Cutler won’t be traded, a league source has shared with us some contractual details, which make clear the possibly short-term nature of the ongoing relationship between Cutler and the Broncos.

Per the source, Cutler has large roster bonuses due to be paid in 2010 and 2011, which means that the Broncos will have to decide after each of the next two years whether he justifies that type of financial commitment.

Next year, the roster bonus has a value of $4 million. In 2011, that amount triples, to $12 million.

So even though Cutler’s salaries are reasonably low ($1.035 million, $1.422 million, and $1.81 million, respectively), the Broncos’ new regime doesn’t have three years to figure out whether Cutler is the right fit.
