Bearstalk

Brad Biggs is reporting that Cutler's contract is written so that the Bears can convert portions of the contract to a bonus status, so that it can be spread out. Trib posted the article at 8:00PM tonight They are calling it a automatic conversion clause that allows the Bears to convert salary to bonus whenever they wish and it will be allocated over the contract years.

Got it off a number of sources via twitter:

From early, it looked like he was rushing things. He's just got sloppy since, he's to scared pressure is there and throwing scared. It's definitely the Oline's fault he is in that state, but his fault for staying in it and letting it get to him. He's playing almost as bad as Webb tonight.

It could be just me, but it sure seems like Cutler has been throwing an inordinate amount of interceptions thus far during the offseason, albeit in training camp. The bulk of them coming from the 1st play of practice! I don't know what to make of it. Should we be worried that he's not adjusting to the system very well? Or is this just something you can sweep under the rug because it's meaningless, and QB's like to test their limits during practices? The defense has clearly been light years ahead of the offense so far in camp, but I'm curious to see if the offense will ever come around before the start of the season. We all know that Trestman's offense is one o…

One thing I have noticed in seeing film on Cutler in Denver VS Chicago is his mechanics. At times his mechanics with the Bears are atrocious. One thing my brother picked up in camp is that he thought Cutler practiced lazy. In asking him why he thought this a concern; he simply stated "you practice like you play". My brother, being a qualified leader of men through many years with the Marines expounded his assessment by stating by going hard all the time, you get used to where people will be in battle and /or game situations. Most importantly, when everyone works there ass off for a common goal it develops a steeliness that translates into more fight when it matters. …

Three things that really stood out to me: 1. Paraphrasing, Jay basically said- "Brian never apologized to me" and he said it with a sarcastic chuckle. Does anyone think that this could have long term bad effects on this team? I know we're already heading in a downward spiral, but when your 2 faces of the franchise seem to not like one another, that just gets the spiral going even faster. While I agree that the 2 will never be on the field at the same time during the game, I just hate to see this especially when everything else is going wrong. 2. He also mentioned that it takes long for an offense to gel. He said it took 3+ years in Denver. Jay, I hate to be a d*…

Just thought I'd let everyone know who's interested..

Did anyone else have flashbacks of Jimmy Mac when Jay dove for the end zone from two yards out? We have a QB who is athletic and has a cannon, who can beat you multiple ways.

-Said he was wrong for bumping Webb but doesn't regret yelling at him. -He heard what Moore said and had no issue with it. -He's spoken to all of the OL individually and it's settled. -Talked about what a great guy Lovie is. -Claimed being a dad is going well. -Said they can't take the Rams easy because any team can beat any team on any day. -Talked about how much he loves Bears fans due to the reception he's gotten since Thursday when he was grocery shopping. -Owned up to his INT's on Thursday.

A hard game to lose today. Rogers came out on fire and looked unstoppable, while Cutler looked mediocre. We were thoroughly outplayed for most of the first half. Then, Cutler went out of the game??? WHAT? He is standing on the sidelines, talking, no obvious pain, and he is out? Hmmm.....I have been a big supporter of Cutler, but do we have a pu$$y here? I told my wife, "No one takes himself out of an NFC Championship game at QB unless he can't walk." But there was Cutler, sitting/standing on the sideline, usual sour look on his face, watching the game. And getting paid. Defence really stood up today in the second half. We had a chance to steal this game…

Just heard the breaking news from Jeff Dickerson Cutler week to week with a high ankle sprain. Tillman out for the season (eligible for playoffs) with a tricep injury. McCown and Bowman, your tables are ready. The saga continues

Nuff said.

I was at the game on the opposite side, what the freak happened. I forgot to record the game to re-watch (prolly a good thing). IT looked like Holmes was running a go route, wide the freak open and it looks like Cutler threw a freak curl route. Would like to know if that is what happened. Was Holmes wide open. And did Cutler throw that ball to him 15 yards short or was it to someone else and over thrown????

Cutler needs to change the snap count.Me and the saints know exactly when the ball is being hiked. Every game it's the same snap count

Hopefully I can find a recap somewhere and post it shortly, but just an FYI.

Looking at the Bears’ cap situation, I think we have a lot of options for cuts and trades. At this moment we have an estimated $13 Million in cap room. -------------------------------- LEONARD FLOYD -------------------------------- Floyd is due $13,222,000 this year with no dead cap. If you cut or trade him, you instantly gain $13 Mil in cap room, which can sign two or three quality free agents. There is no way Floyd plays under this contract for us in 2020. You can pretty much consider him cut and add $13Mil to your cap. Then you can think about what you WOULD pay him as a free agent. Aaron Lynch got $1.5 Million to play backup to Floyd. Floyd …

#Bears have waived DB Malcolm Bronson, TE Kevin Greene, T Cameron Jefferson, WR Jeremy Kelley, CB AL Louis-Jean and LS Rick Lovato. #Bears have placed WR Kevin White on PUP list and S Ryan Mundy on injured reserve.

Ok Been speculating on who goes and who stays. I attached my final word document for all you to look at play with. But notables that are out is C Taylor, Marcus Harrison, Harvey Unga. As for FA signed most notable will be Andy Fantuz. Play with it and give your ideas on stays and who goes. Well deleted the file it seems to have errors. I will upload a newby here shortly Untitled_12.doc

Cuts are coming in. Darnell Dockett from SF, Da’Quan Bowers and Khaseem Greene from TB, and more.
