The Broncos have agreed in principle to trade Jay Cutler to the Bears for Kyle Orton, first-round picks in 2009 and 2010, and a 2009-third round pick. The Bears will receive Denver's fifth-round pick this year. Bears fans like GM Jerry Angelo now. There were late reports the Redskins were near a deal, but the Bears swooped in. The compensation is quite fair for Denver considering the circumstances, but it's still an amazing coup for Chicago. You just don't often get a top-five quarterback entering his prime, and that's what Cutler is. They have their first "franchise quarterback" since Sid Luckman in the 1940s, and all their offensive talent gets upgraded now. With that said, Cutler's fantasy value takes a huge hit going from a high-powered offense with talented young receivers to a conservative attack lacking in playmakers.
