[QUOTE="champaignchris, post: 1136813, member: 26283"] Last year I argued with a lot of people that Cutler's "highest paid qb in the league" contract was nowhere near the albatross that the media made it out to be. As of today, he's 9th among qbs in terms of total cap hit. That will go to 11th once Newton's and Wilson's new contracts go into effect and will presumably be 12th once Luck gets a new deal. (Luck's a FA after this year.) You can probably call it 13th since Brady took a hometown discount and I strongly suspect there's an under the table handshake to give him a slice of ownership after he retires. Point is, Cutler is being paid right about what he should be for a starting qb of his caliber. [/QUOTE]
