Re: Per Vinny Cerrato, JC is our QB this season!

I'm sure Minnesota and any other teams with mediocre QBs thought the same thing.
Anyway, interesting tidbit from ESPN Rumors:
Quote:
Titans to get in the mix for Cutler?
Jay Cutler | Broncos | Interested: Titans?
With the rumor mill drumming up a Jay Cutler-to-the-Washington Redskins trade yesterday, Redskins executive vice president of football operations Vinny Cerrato felt the need to squash that report, telling the Washington Times, "Jason [Campbell] is our quarterback."
While that takes another team off the list of potential destinations for Cutler, the Tennessee Titans have stuck around in the conversation, and David Climer of the Nashville Tennessean thinks trading for Cutler would be a great move for the team. Other folks have pointed to Cutler's background in Tennessee, from when he starred at Vanderbilt, as well as his past relationship with Titans offensive coordinator Mike Heimerdinger, from when both were with the Denver Broncos.
This action would be somewhat against the grain, as the Titans tend to stockpile draft picks instead of trade them, and a deal for Cutler likely would involve one or more picks going to the Broncos along with Kerry Collins. Collins was promised he would be the starter in 2009 before he signed a new deal with Tennessee, so the team certainly would need to move him if it brought in another player to start. In fact, Collins told Paul Kuharsky of ESPN.com recently that, "They've made it pretty clear what my role is here and I don't expect that to change any time soon."
While a trade might be unlikely for these reasons, it also would be a version of do-over, as the Titans passed on Cutler in the 2006 draft with the third overall pick, opting to instead go with Vince Young.
