The Facts: New HC John Fox was just a moment into his introductory press conference when he was asked about Cutler. Fox declined to get into any details about whether he believes Cutler will still be in Chicago when the season starts. Fox said he hasn’t talked to Cutler yet and isn’t prepared to comment on Cutler or any other player until he goes through the process of getting to know him. “It doesn’t matter what player here, we’re going to start that process and I’m not there yet,” Fox said.

Diehards Line: Fox did exchange texts with Cutler and he said the exchange was cordial. I’m looking forward to getting to know Jay,” Fox said. “I just reminded him that this game’s only fun when you win, and we will. ..." As PFT's Michael David Smith suggests, whether the “we” in Chicago includes Cutler remains to be seen. Fox said he’ll feel good about the quarterback in Chicago, “whoever that is,” suggesting that he’s open to bringing in someone else and getting rid of Cutler. But given Cutler’s guaranteed $15 million salary, Fox may have no choice but to try to make it work with Cutler.
