Jay Cutler's contract no longer a trade-killer

We've known for weeks -- even months -- that Jay Cutler's time in Chicago is over. The only mystery is the manner in which the Chicago Bears will rid themselves of Cutler. Can they trade him? Or will Chicago's front office have to release the 33-year old quarterback?

That leads us to the question we focus on today.

@DickersonESPN IF Bears traded Cutler early enough, would the new team have to pay his roster or restructure bonus or just salary?

Jeff Dickerson: Just so everyone is clear: the Bears cannot trade Cutler until the new league year begins March 9.
