Cutler Gets 2 Year Extension

Bears QB Jay Cutler gets a contract extension

The Chicago Bears gave QB Jay Cutler a two-year extension worth $30 million extra dollars, and more importantly $20 million in guaranteed money. The extension comes two days after Cutler threw two picks in a Bears loss to Atlanta on Sunday night. With the possibility of a lockout in 2011, Cutler and his agent, Bus Cook, decided to secure some guaranteed money by getting a new deal. With the new contract, Cutler will make around $50 million over the next five years.

This move may seem a bit premature, but I think it shows the Bears are standing behind the best player to ever Quarterback this very old franchise. Cutler has shown his arm, accuracy and talent throughout his time in Denver and it has carried over to Chicago.
