The Facts:
Bears GM Jerry Angelo said Thursday night the Bears have had no contract discussions with Cutler, whom they acquired in a stunning afternoon trade. "No," Angelo said on a teleconference with reporters. "We have not talked to his agent about that."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Cutler is midway through the six-year, $48 million contract he signed after Denver drafted him in 2006. There has been rampant speculation that his desire to leave the Broncos was in part a ploy to jump-start negotiations for an extension, but the Bears haven't crossed that bridge yet. But as ESPN.com's Kevin Seifert suggests, it's probably a matter of when -- and not if -- Chicago will approach Cutler about a new deal. After giving up three draft choices to acquire him, including a pair of first-round picks, the Bears certainly want more than three years of security.
