The Facts: In this week's installment of his Monday column for TheMMQB.com, Peter King spent some time discussing quarterbacks who will be or are expected to be on the move this offseason. Cutler was on that list as the general feeling is that the Bears will part ways with the veteran. King floated the Cardinals as a destination for Cutler to serve as a backup. It doesn't look like that thought balloon has much air in it, though. Kent Somers of the Arizona Republic reports that the Cardinals have "zero interest" in bringing Cutler to the desert this offseason.

Diehards Line: Based on Bruce Arians being the league’s “biggest proponent of the deep ball” and the possibility of Carson Palmer departing after the 2017 season, connecting Cutler to the Cardinals was a reasonable leap. In addition, the Cardinals haven’t been shy about talking about the need to set themselves up for when Palmer moves on, but as PFT's Josh Alper notes, that talk has seemed to focus more on quarterbacks younger than Cutler. Alper went on to suggest that for his part, Cutler may be able to find a situation where he’s able to at least compete for the starting job and that may be a more appealing option than resigning himself to a backup role with the Cardinals or anyone else.
