5. Buffalo Bills

Another darkhorse suitor for Jay Cutler would be the Buffalo Bills, who are a piece or two away from being a legitimate playoff contender in the AFC.

The Bills have been extremely good this season with Kyle Orton as their starting quarterback, and Cutler would be a major upgrade over Orton. He would have budding star Sammy Watkins to throw to, and they have a solid all-around offense to go along with a very good defense.

Cutler hasn’t had a good defense to have his back for quite some time now, and that would be a major help to him in Buffalo.

The Bills likely wouldn’t be as aggressive as other teams in pursuit of a starting quarterback, but if they could get him at the right price they would be more than willing to pull the trigger.

Buffalo hasn’t been this close to contention in quite some time, and they aren’t going to turn away something that will make them better and take them a step closer.
