ESPN: Jay Cutler's agent says his client's relationship with the
Denver Broncos disintegrated after the firing of coach Mike
Shanahan and a broken promise that Shanahan's offensive staff
would largely remain intact, according to a report on NFL.com. Bus
Cook told the Web site that Cutler met with Broncos owner Pat
Bowlen shortly after Shanahan was fired on Dec. 30 to express his
concerns. "Jay was disappointed in the firing of Mike Shanahan and
met with the owner. The owner assured him everything would be
fine. The owner said he had the second-best offense in football
and would leave the offensive staff intact. Jay was good with
that. Then he hires an offensive coach who gets rid of the staff,"
Cook told NFL.com. New Broncos coach Josh McDaniels overhauled the
offensive staff after his arrival. Bowlen, however, says he
doesn't remember having the conversation with Cutler that Cook
references.
