The New York Jets are the leading candidate to land current Denver Broncos quarterback Jay Cutler according to Sportsbook.com.
The Jets, a +300 favorite to land the disgruntled QB, spent loads of cash on their defense this offseason but the need for a quarterback remains if they are to reach the playoffs in an improving AFC East division.
Rumors of Cutler landing in New York have swirled since it became apparent that the 25 year-old wasn't going to be able to mend fences with his current team. The Jets need for a quarterback to fill out what should be a contending team only seems to add to the argument.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are next in line at +350 odds and they could use a quarterback with Jeff Garcia no longer behind center.
At +500, the free-spending Washington Redskins may be a great value as a report out of the nation's capital claims they are among the leading candidates. Among the rumors coming out of D.C. is that Cutler's former coach Mike Shanahan, may be brought in to replace current coach Jim Zorn.
Cutler has a strong relationship with Shanahan and the Redskins are always up for a blockbuster deal.
The Detroit Lions could be waving their #1 overall pick at the Broncos. Although the Lions, +400 to land Cutler, weren't willing to part with the pick in February, speculation is they are willing to trade it now and Cutler would give the offense a proven quarterback that still has many years ahead of him.
