Chicago Bears have actively started seeking a trade partner for quarterback Jay Cutler, per @JeffDarlington.

Jeff Darlington responded with this to shed a little light on the situation as a whole.

Context continue in the following posts.
Cutler’s contract doesn’t have a no-trade clause, but that doesn’t mean Bears can trade him without his willingness to agree. Teams know it.

Cutler is 33. He has no guaranteed money left. If non-competitive team tries to give up late pick, he can sit out or retire. Teams know it.

While it makes sense to try to trade Cutler, an active pursuit to unload him is formal beginning of the end. Relationship all but over now.
