The Jay Cutler era in Chicago is about to come to a close. Adam Schefter (via Jeff Darlington) reported on Tuesday that the Bears are “seeking a trade partner” for the veteran quarterback.
Statistically speaking, Cutler is the best QB in Bears franchise history, although it must be said that Chicago’s portfolio of quarterbacks isn’t very good. He holds team records for most career passing yards (23,443), most passing touchdowns (154), highest completion percentage (61.8%), and QB rating (85.2). His two touchdown passes against the Seattle Seahawks in the 2011 NFC Divisional Round are tied with Steve Walsh, Steve Fuller, and Jim McMahon for the most TDs thrown by a Bears QB in a single Super Bowl-era playoff game.
