The Broncos are actively shopping Jay Cutler

Get set to explode.

The Panthers are set with their QB and they love their DE.

We should thank our stars everyday that Cutler did not wind-up in Tampa.

I'm sure many of this board will disagree with what you'd like to have happen. I'm not one of them.

You would rather keep someone that doesn't want to play for us any more and a washed up QB that's going to be one of the oldest starting quarterbacks in the league next year over a young Pro Bowl QB like Cutler? Think of the future here. Jake's contract is up after next year. QBs like Cutler aren't available that often, I'd rather cut ties with Jake a year early and go after Cutler than wait until next season and have no clue who the starting QB is going to be. One thing you can be certain of is if we draft a QB in 2010, he won't be as good as Cutler is at least not right away.

All of the reporters that actually know what goes on behind the scenes in the Panthers organization are convinced that Peppers won't be here next year. I can't think of a better trade than this actually. Aren't the Broncos going to the 3-4 or didn't they recently switch? I think Peppers would like to go there and I'm sure the Broncos would be glad to have him.

    • BPA comes with the caveat of positional value and roster need included. Never let the latter two completely overwhelm the first, however. Our FO seems to lean heavily into "WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE POTENTIALZ!!!" as a fourth category and often it seems as the #1 overall pursuit. With as many needs as this roster has, I am not going to get upset over a real roster upgrade at WR versus some reach at EDGE or whatever other extreme needs we have. Overall, I want to see the roster get better. There is far, far, FAR more than one offseason of work left to get this roster into the top 10-12 in the NFL. That should be the goal. 
    • I would say we are more likely to get smoked by Tampa, blast Seattle and then perplexingly lose to Tampa again. 
    • In general, Dave Canales tends to target his TE's the least frequently of any position group(WR/RB/TE) during his three years of running an NFL offense.  However, if you notice this percentage has crept up over time. 2025 is the first year that TE has eclipsed RB in target percentage. Production has also gone up in 2025. This is a percentage of total output in each category. Canales has always used a very TE heavy offense. In fact, on average his offensive formations are 2 or 3 TE sets roughly 80% of all offensive formations. So, the question may be, with this uptick in total TE output, could an elite or top tier TE make a significant impact? I believe there is some evidence this may be the case. Here are a look at TE snaps and Cade Otten specifically. These are the snap percentages for all rostered TE's in every Dave Canales offense. The bolded cell is Cade Otten's whopping 96.46% of total snap counts in the single year he was in the Dave Canales offense in Tampa. This was overwhelmingly his career high. His production was higher with less utilization in 2024, however.    In conclusion, while I don't anticipate ever seeing a top 5 producing/Pro Bowl caliber TE performance in a Dave Canales offense, there does appear to be some evidence that an actual upgrade in our TE room would actually lead to increasing overall offensive efficiency. I think Otten's utilization rate does indicate that the splitting of time between our relatively even TE group would cede significant snaps if a far superior option were available. I believe this is an area we could(and should have this past offseason/draft) made a more concerted effort to get a dynamic TE threat, after the apparent failure that J. Sanders appears to have been.
