[h1]******** Trying to Land Cutler (Update 2)[/h1]
The Washington ******** are actively pursuing a trade for disgruntled Denver Broncos quarterback Jay Cutler tonight, according to NFL sources.
One source said the ******** are trying to complete the deal as quickly as possible although at least two other teams, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and New York Jets, are also reportedly interested in acquiring Cutler. The two-year starter became available today when the Broncos announced they would trade him. Denver officials could not be reached for comment tonight.
The ******** declined comment.
The source said ******** owner Daniel M. Snyder has been pushing for the trade in an attempt to finally solve the team's decades-long pursuit of a franchise quarterback.
Another NFL source said a high-ranking ******** official contacted one NFL team today about the possibility of trading quarterback Jason Campbell for a second-round pick in the upcoming draft. That source said he interpreted the ********' overture as an attempt by Washington to put together a package to acquire Cutler.

there we go giving up a pick....
You think if this doesn't go through Campbell will start complaining and demand a trade?
I just have a feeling that he isn't in the Skins long-term plans anyways....he's in the last year of his contract, but no extension has been offered. That says a lot in the grand scheme of things as far as what many in the Skins FO think of Jason Campbell. I think Campbell should get this last year to show what he can do with NO EXCUSES. I'm just not a believer in Jay Cutler succeeding in the Skins system, especially behind the current O-line (which may be hurt even more if we give up a pick to get Cutler). He (Cutler) had the luxury of playing behind one of the best O-lines in the NFL, but it's like a 180 when you compare the Broncos line to the Skins. He's not going to have that time to get rid of the ball like he did with the Broncos. Also, the 18 INT's is real high considering how good the people were in front of him. His #'s would take a huge hit assuming he was traded to Washington.
Maybe the Broncos view Cutler as a "system" guy, and I hate that term. Yeah, he's talented...but I guess he's easily replacable in the system that they run and also the the O-line that they have. If Campbell is traded for him, they must not feel like there is going to be a huge drop-off in production if #17 is under center in Denver. They've traded Portis becuase they can get production from other RB's in their system, and I guess they feel the same way when viewing Cutler....
If Cutler is brought into DC...great. I wish him the best of luck. However, I wouldn't get my hopes up too high as far as what he's going to do with our current O-line and contrasting passing system (compared to Denver) that is run here in DC....
Man its like here we go again the skins are chasing a big name...Because they arent sure what Jason Campbell can do. How about yall stop changing the offenseand let him settle in for a couple of years and see what he really has. If we got Cutler I really wouldnt approve of it, because I know we are going to give upway to much for a slightly better upgrade the Jason Campbell. Turnovers are big when playing in the NFC East , I'd rather take a sack then an forced INTanyday. I hope the ******** understand with Cutler he will be on the move constantly playign against the Giants, Eagles, and Cowboys. If he throws 18 int'swith a time just imagine how many he is going to throw when pressured.
Man I'm behind Jason Campbell in this one...at least you don't here him coming out in the media complaing about where he wants to play. Jason Campbellhas the perfect attitude of a young NFL QB not to high on himself and not to low. If Jay Cutler sensitivae *+# comes to DC you think he will be able to dealwith are media? he cant even take Denvers media
The ******** should stay content on what they have...We know Jason has damn near the same arm as Cutler and he improves every year he gains experience. GiveJason this last year...and if things don't work out let him walk. The skins have plenty of options for next year. Sam Bradford and Colt McCoy are going tobe in the Draft plus you have "dare I say it" Colt Brennan
on the roster. If Zorn can transform him into a satarting caliber QB then give him a shot or let him run the show until we can get somewhere better.
I just don't have a good feeling about Jay Cutler under center for the Skins!
