The Facts: In April 2006, the Jets were so intrigued by Cutler as a potential franchise QB that an entourage of decision-makers flew to Nashville to meet with the Vanderbilt star a couple of weeks before the draft. Months later, ESPN.com's Rich Cimini heard they didn't come away from that meeting with a great feeling about Cutler.

Diehards Line: The group included owner Woody Johnson, who usually doesn't make scouting trips. They did the usual field/classroom testing and dined at a local steak house. When it was their turn to pick, the Jets passed on Cutler, opting for D'Brickashaw Ferguson with the fourth overall choice. Now, 11 years later the Jets once again are mulling Cutler as a possibility. In fact, Cimini reports, they've already talked to him about their quarterback vacancy. Cimini went on to contend, however, that Cutler isn't right for the Jets, not in their current state. "He's almost 34, his body is breaking down after 11 years of punishment and his penchant for interceptions will land HC Todd Bowles among the ranks of the unemployed," Cimini wrote. "Bowles needs a leader at quarterback, a strong hand who can handle adversity (there will be plenty) and galvanize a young roster. Cutler isn't that guy." But the Jets might be desperate enough to overlook all that.
