Yay for SD; SF should be ashamed. Pathetic.

from today’s BostonGlobe.com:

“The biggest story of the week, football-wise, was the Bears announcing that Jay Cutler has been benched for the final two games of the season. The Bears didn’t make this move because they believe in backup Jimmy Clausen, or as a last-ditch effort by coach Marc Trestman to save his job. That ship has likely sailed.

No, the benching means the Bears are going to try to trade Cutler this offseason, according to league insiders — specifically before 4 p.m. on March 12. Cutler’s massive seven-year contract calls for him to get a $10 million guarantee on the third day of the 2015 league year. If he is injured on that date, a $10 million guarantee for 2016 also triggers.

So, benching Cutler for the final two games ensures that he won’t suffer an injury, and the Bears will actively try to shop him this offseason. While Cutler has been a major disappointment, and has almost $32 million due to him over the next two years, he might be worth one last try for a quarterback-desperate team such as Tennessee, Tampa Bay, Washington, Cleveland, or Houston. Given that the trade will be a salary dump, the Bears likely won’t get much more than a sixth- or seventh-round pick for Cutler.”
