Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
While this is the most serious type of diabetes, making Cutler insulin dependent, the Broncos are confident it will not negatively impact his career performance. Cutler has been taking insulin shots since he was diagnosed and has been participating in the Broncos' offseason workout program. "People need to understand this is very treatable," a Broncos source told Post staffer Mike Klis. "Jay's going to be fine. ..." According to Klis, the Broncos knew of Cutler's disease before the NFL draft last week but didn't select a quarterback, a sign the team is confident their quarterback has his condition under control.
