It’s official, confirmed by both organizations: Jay Cutler is a Chicago Bear. That is unfortunate news for Vikings’ fans, as now we have to face the young gun twice a year. The Bears just made a big upgrade at the quarterback position.

The terms of the deal have yet to be released. I wonder if Kyle Orton is in the mix?

More to come as we find it out!

And just like that, some more info.

According to Jay Glazer, the Bears gave up two first round picks, a third round pick, and quarterback Kyle Orton.

That, my friends, is way too much.

New correction:

Apparently, the Bears are giving up their first round pick this year, their first round pick next year, and Kyle Orton. The Broncos are sending Chicago Jay Cutler and their third round pick this year.

Still, it’s waaaaay too much. And I’m going to leave the last bit of info up for the time being, just so we have a timeline of sorts. Yeah, I’m that cool.
