Jay Cutler got his wish Thursday: a ticket out of Denver. And the Chicago Bears have a franchise quarterback for the first time in decades.
The Broncos announced they had agreed to trade their disgruntled Pro Bowl passer to the Bears, who haven't had much success with quarterbacks since Jim McMahon was calling plays in the 1980s.
The Broncos will get quarterback Kyle Orton in return, along with two first-round draft picks and a third-rounder.
The Broncos get the Bears' top pick in this year's draft, which is No. 18 overall, and Chicago's first-round draft pick in 2010 along with a third-round selection this year (No. 84 overall). Denver also gave up a fifth-rounder this year.
