QB Cutler and Bears agreed on two-year contract extension

Quarterback Jay Cutler and the Chicago Bears are satisfied with each other and have planned to stay together for longer-a two-year contract extension will keep Cutler with the Bears through the 2013 season.

The deal includes approximately $20 million guaranteed and roughly $30 million in new money. A good value for the Bears as the Pro Bowl quarterback has been on pace to set club single-season records. He has already completed 110 of 172 passes with 1,201 yards, 10 touchdowns and seven interceptions while leading Chicago to a 3-2 record. With a 64.0 completion rate and 240.2 yards passing per game, he has been considered to be one of the Bears’ best quarterbacks since Sid Luckman.

The now best quarterback in Bears jersey was traded from the Denver Broncos after a quarrel with the Broncos new coach Josh McDaniels. The Broncos acquired quarterback Kyle Orton along with two first-round draft picks and a third-rounder from the Bears in the trade. As the Broncos had their fifth 6-0 start in franchise history, it seemed that both teams have what they want from the trade.
