2. New York Jets

Obviously the New York Jets would be a team with major interest in acquiring Jay Cutler from the Chicago Bears, as they need a quarterback in a big way. He would be a major upgrade over either Geno Smith or Michael Vick, but there would be some concerns about the fit as well.

Cutler hasn’t done all that well with the Chicago media, and the New York media is even harsher than Chicago.

While there will always be concerns about a new starting quarterback being acquired via trade, the Jets can’t afford to allow those concerns to not pull the trigger.

Cutler would be an upgrade over what they’re working with, and he might be exactly what they have been needing. He’s not an elite quarterback, but he is a playmaker that can lead offenses to huge games when he’s playing to his full potential.
