San Francisco 49ers
Means, motive and opportunity apply to crimes most of the time, but also do to trades as well. The San Francisco 49ers are in desperate need of help at quarterback. Why would they even consider Cutler though? Easy. They can afford his cap number without even a hiccup since they have over $80 million in space. Also their new head coach Kyle Shanahan is the son of Mike Shanahan, the man who drafted and developed Cutler in Denver.
It’s not hard to imagine Kyle being able to build an effective system around Jay. The move would also buy the 49ers time. By spending a late round pick to get him, they’ll be free to use to their cap space and higher draft choices to revamp a badly depleted roster. Shanahan himself said the team isn’t basing their goals around the QB position this year. There is lots of work to do everywhere. Why subject a young quarterback to that?
