Not too much going on in the NFL world today. Jay Cutler has been traded. The draft is just under a month away.

Use this as an open thread for the day, discussing whatever Chiefs and NFL related topics you'd like.

Here are a couple of articles to get you going today.

From Bob Gretz:

Although there are two sides playing out on this story, Bears offensive coordinator Ron Turner and Cutler have met before, and it didn’t go well. Coming out of Heritage Hills High School in Indiana, Cutler wanted to play at the University of Illinois. The Illini supposedly recruited him. The head coach there at the time was Turner. But when Cutler visited the school in December of his senior year, his family says he was told the scholarship offer had been rescinded because Illinois wanted to sign a hotshot quarterback out of Illinois.

I'm still surprised that WR Torry Holt hasn't caught on anywhere yet. Must be his asking price?

McGuire brokered the deal to get another ex-Ram, Orlando Pace, to the Bears on Thursday but Holt is focusing on the Titans and Jacksonville, where he has also visited. There is no rush. The situation could take its time to play out and that is what Titans coach Jeff Fisher said he expected to happen.

Once a Raider, always a Raider.

Former Los Angeles Raiders quarterback Todd Marinovich is back in jail.

Authorities say the 39-year-old Marinovich was arrested Friday after missing a drug rehabilitation progress review in a Newport Beach court earlier this week. He was being held at the Orange County Jail without bail.

Is it just me

Or is Cutler pissed to be a Bear? Every picture I have seen of him from press conferences he looks pissed to be there.

I Like Seal

The dude writes some great tunes.

Predictions for 2009

1. Todd Haley's going to struggle with managing his staff in his rookie year as head coach.
2. The Lions will draft Matt Stafford, the Rams will draft Jason Smith, and the Chiefs will draft either Aaron Curry or Eugene Monroe.
3. Maurice Carthon will be the most hated man on the Chiefs' coaching staff within two years.

My Comment On Cutler, Should He Be Unhappy With Being In Chicago

He had the chance to stay in a great situation in Denver, but he and his scumbag agent wanted a trade and now he gets to try and pass in the worst conditions for a QB in the NFL. Tough shit, crybaby.

Holt should land with the Titans

but I guess the Titans and Jags both need some legitimacy at WR. Word is that Jax probably can’t afford him.

Holt has not been signed because of $$$

His value will be highest if someone has a receiver go down in traing camp. I won’t be suprised if he stays unsigned until August, unless he drops his asking price.
